One of many great songs by Maleehuanna (not very impressive visual content on this youtube effort though).

Sangjun by Maleehuanna.

The obligatory Carabao song - Khon Kep Feun. Great song and the only one I have ever thought of doing when caught in a trap unable to escape a karaoke mic.

And finally Bow Rak See Dam by Siriporn Umpaipong. There doesn't seem to be a video with this one though.

What a great thread... I have a thai song in mind which, when I hear it takes me to a happy place. Only wish I knew the name of it.

The only info I have is that it's basically taught in kindergarten, it's very old/rustic, it's about the sea/fishing/sailing, and there's certain arm movements that go with it.. like making the waves of the ocean with your arms...

Any geniuses out there that can answer this one with such sketchy info??

Some words to it might be something like... "talay saen ngarm fa si kram sod sai mong hen rua bai laen yu nai talay"

[Cobalt60]

Ooo, how dim have I been ? Never thought of you tube for Thai songs (doh) Nantida, Kor pen kon neung(let me be the one)for me, best get looking

Edit to say ...oh yeah found loads, nice one, thanks

Nice thread seonai...

Here's Chiangmai's own Lanna Cummins in catchy/country mode with 'Mai Ruk Mai Wah' (i like the old guy playing the lanna violin !)

and the equally catchy/pop'y sound of Pi Bird from way back (everyone should know this one by law)

one of Pang Nakarin's greatest. Everyone, after 3... "chun taung tum tum arai..."

Keep 'em coming...

Some words to it might be something like... "talay saen ngarm fa si kram sod sai mong hen rua bai laen yu nai talay"

The song you are talking about (courtesy of my wife) is " Oh talay " which would be translated something like 'Oh the Sea'. Here are the lyrics with english translation.

เพลง: โอ้ทะเล

คำร้อง / ทำนอง : วรชาติ ธรรมวิจินต์

* โอ้ทะเลแสนงาม....ฟ้าสีครามสดใส....

The sea so beautiful..the blue sky is shining..

มองเห็นเรือใบ (เรือใบ...) ล่องอยู่ในทะเล...

I've seen sailer...sailing in the sea.

อยากจะไปทะเล ฉันนั้นอยากจะไปทะเล

want to go to the sea, i really want to go to the sea

เธออยากจะไปทะเลเหลือเกิน...

you want to go to the sea so much..

เดินไปเดินเล่นชายหาด เดินไปโดนเปลือกหอยบาด

walk on the beach.. walk til had cut myfoot by the shell

เลือดฉันก็สาดลงท้องทะเล...เย้...เย...

my blood is out from my lesion to the sea yea' yea

แต่ก็มีความสุข เพราะฉันได้มาเที่ยวทะเล

but i very happy cos i've been to the sea

ถึงตอนนี้อยากได้เปลเหลือเกิน...

Now i want the hammock so much

ขึงกับต้นมะพร้าวใหญ่ นอนเอ้านอนให้ลมมันไกว

put it between the coco. sleep on the hammock let it paddle by the wind

แล้วฉันก็หลับฝันดี...เย้...เย...

hence i have a good dream...yea'...yea

( * )

อยากจะไปชายหาด โอ้ย!...ไม่ได้เดี๋ยวหน้าจะดำ

want to go to the beach...No no cos my face getting black.

ดำเพราะแดดมันมี UV...

black because the sunlight have UV...

เลยต้องทาครีมกันแดด ของดีๆ ตั้ง 2,800

then put suntan cream on my skins. It good quality cos 2,800 Baht

โอ๊ย! ขอยืมหน่อยนะเธอ...โว้ว...โวว..

Oey' can i borrow please....Vol'..vol

แต่ตอนนี้ท้องร้อง โอ้ย! อยากกินอาหารทะเลอ่ะ

but now my stomach make a noise.. Oey' want to eat the seafoods.

เอาเมนูมาซิ พี่ชาย...

my brother can i have the menu please...

กุ้งมังกร หมึกย่างตัวใหญ่ หอยนางรมราคาเท่าไหร่

Lobster, the big grill squids, Oyster How much is it?

โอ้ย ! สั่งกระเพราเหมือนเดิม...โว้ว...โวว...

Oey' Order stir fry - with basil leaf again....Vol'..vol..

( * ) ( Solo )

มี..สาย...ลม ท้องฟ้า และหมู่ดาว ช่างสุขใจเหลือเกิน

havy the sky, windy, and the stars. so happy.

เธอ...เป็นเพื่อนกันหน่อยได้ไหม ให้ฉันเป็นคู่ใจ...

can you stand with me for a while please...

( * )

อู่ กระจู๋ ปู๊ตู ป๊า ละเล หลิ่วปิ๋ว ปูม้า ปลาเล ปู่ กระจู๋ ปะตู

Hi Bina,

Download some freewareprogram (I use no23Recorder) to record in MP3 or WAV directly from your soundcard.

Easy to do, just load the song then hit record and replay the song, this to avoid glitches in downloading).

Plenty of Thaimusic vids in the internet.

cheers
