Loy Krathong

I remember hearing this Thai song while I was still in Primary school. Thanks to my long time friend and brother for sending this song to me over the e-mail... This is a song about the Loy Krathong Festival in Thailand. At every year full moon in Novemember night, the Thai will go to the canal (Klong) and each of them will float a "Krathong", a small palm size construction of flower, candle and 3 incense sticks on the water. This brings them good luck and make their wishes come true.

The Song in MP3

Wan phen deuan sip sawng
Nam gaw nawng dtem dtaling
Rao tang lai, chai ying
Sanook gan jing wan Loi Gratong!
Loi, Loi Gratong...Loi, Loi Gratong
Loi Gratong kan laew
Khor chern Nawng Gaew awk ma ramwong
Ramwong wan Loi Gratong
Ramwong wan Loi Gratong
Boon ja song hai rao sook jai
Boon ja song hai rao sook jai

November full moon shines,

Loy Krathong, Loy Krathong,

and the water's high in the river and local klong,

Loy Loy Krathong, Loy Loy Krathong,

Loy Krathong is here and everybody's full of cheer,

We're together at the klong,

Each one with his krathong,

As we push away we pray,

We can see a better day.
