บุพเพสันนิวาส

~ kháo wâa bùp-phee hâi maa khûu kan

They say destiny brought us together as a pair

~ khəəi khít wâa mâi sǎm-khan, kàp rao sɔ̌ɔng khon thâo-rai

I used to think it didn't matter much to the two of us

~ tɛ̀ɛ man kɔ̂ plɛ̀ɛk, tháng thîi man yùu kan hàang klai

but it's strange — even though we lived so far apart

~ khəəi lɔɔng khít duu bâang mǎi, tham-mai jʉng maa jəə kan

have you ever wondered why we came to meet?

~ dâai hěn nâa kan khɛ̂ɛ wan lá khráng

We only see each other's faces once a day

~ tɛ̀ɛ hǔa-jai rîak-rɔ́ɔng jang, yàa hěn nâa thəə naan-naan

but my heart cries out so — not to go long without seeing you

~ man mʉ̌an pen sùk, lʉʉm khwaam thúk, lʉʉm khwaam ráao-raan

it feels like happiness, forgetting sorrow, forgetting all the pain

~ mʉ̌an jai sèep-tìt yím wǎan, klàp bâan yang nɔɔn lá-məə

as if my heart's addicted to your sweet smile — home again, I still dream of it in my sleep

~ nai nʉ̀ng wan, chǎn jəə phûu-khon mâak-maai

In a single day, I meet so many people

~ tɛ̀ɛ wâa tham-mai, jai jʉng khít-thʉ̌ng tɛ̀ɛ thəə

but why does my heart think only of you?

~ aa-kaan plɛ̀ɛk-plɛ̀ɛk, tâng-tɛ̀ɛ khráng rɛ̂ɛk thîi jəə

this strange feeling, from the very first time we met

~ khláai dang phùuk-phan kàp thəə, tâng-tɛ̀ɛ paang kɔ̀ɔn naan maa

as if I've been bound to you since ages long past

~ yàak rúu wâa pen bùp-phee jing mǎi

I want to know if it's truly destiny

~ lɔɔng thǎam duu thîi hǔa-jai, wâa khrai thîi thəə fài hǎa

try asking your heart who it is you long for

~ mii khon khon nʉ̀ng, fâo rɔɔ ɛ̀ɛp sòng jai maa

there's someone who keeps waiting, secretly sending their heart to you

~ lɛ́ɛo thəə jà dâai rúu wâa, chǎn maa phʉ̂a pen khûu thəə

and then you'll come to know that I came to be your other half

repeat * , **

~ khɛ̂ɛ phiang dâai sòp sǎai taa, jà rúu wâa chǎn rák thəə

just meeting your eyes, you'll know that I love you
