anblick Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 So my reading and parroting is good enough that with a bit of repetition and work I can sing along with simple pop songs by following the karaoke ... but I often have no idea what the lyrics mean, mostly because my vocab for words and phrases that don't directly relate to food is pretty weak. I thought I remembered seeing a link in here for a collection of songs with translated lyrics, but searching has failed me. Does such a translation exist? Or if not, do I have any hope typing the Thai lyrics into google translate and making sense of the result? Or is this a completely flawed approach and I should go back to children's books (probably more practical, but less fun and less mnemonic)?

starrdog Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Go to this page: http://womenlearntha.../learning-thai/ Under the section "Thai music and language learning sites…" there are 3 websites listed. I haven't used any of them, so I have no idea on their content. Though 2 of the websites claim at least some English translations. Cheers!

anblick Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 wow that site's a great resource - thanks! Lots of great links in there. I haven't found any translations in the few songs I've checked out, but simply having the lyrics transcribed as selectable text and broken into words I'm sure will be useful.

starrdog Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) With a list that huge I guess it's difficult keeping things up to date. Anyway, I took a quick look here and there are definitely translations at this site: http://www.everyday-...usic/index.html editing to add this site as well: http://deungdutjai.wordpress.com/ Edited November 6, 2012 by starrdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric67 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Not all songs here have been translated, so it's a bit of a work in progress, but there are still plenty to keep you busy: http://www.ethaimusic.com/groups-and-singers/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
