เมื่อสุริยนย่ำสนธยา หมู่นกกาก็บินมาสู่รัง
Meua sooriyon yum sontayah moo nok gah gor bin mah soo rung
At twilight, flocks of crows fly to their nest
ให้มาคิดถึง ท้องทุ่งนาเสียจัง
Hai mah kit teung taung toong nah sia jung
Making me miss the fields, it’s such a pity
ป่านฉะนี้ คงคอยหวัง
Bpahn cha nee kong koy wung
Until now, I was hoping
เมื่อไหร่จะกลับบ้านนา
Meua rai ja glup bahn nah
When will I return to the farm?
เมื่ออยู่เมืองกรุง ใจก็มุ่งแต่อยากจะดัง
Meua yoo meuang groong jai gor moong dtae yahk ja dung
When I’m in Bangkok, my heart desires to be famous
ด้วยความหวัง อยากจะเป็นดารา
Duay kwahm wung yahk ja bpen dara
With hope, I want to be a celebrity
ลำบากลำบน ก็จะทนก้มหน้า
Lumbahk lumbon gor ja ton gom nah
It’ll be difficult, but I’ll persevere
ก่อนจะจากบ้านมา เพื่อนมันว่าให้อาย
Gaun ja jahk bahn mah peuan mun wah hai ai
Before leaving home, my friends made me shy
(*) ก่อนจากบ้านมา เพื่อนมันว่าให้ช้ำทรวง
Gaun jahk bahn mah peuan mun wah hai chum suang
Before leaving home, my friends said they’re heartbroken
ไปเป็นนักร้องให้เขาล้วง มันเจ็บในทรวงไม่หาย
Bpai bpen nukraung hai kao luang mun jep nai suang mai hai
I’m going to be a singer, it breaks their hearts
ไม่เด่นไม่ดังจะไม่หันหลัง กลับไป
Mai den mai dung ja mai hun lung glup bpai
I’m not amazing, but I won’t turn back
ทุกวันคืนนอนร้องไห้ อีกเมื่อไหร่จะโชคดี
Took wun keun naun raung hai eek meua rai ja chohk dee
Every night, I cry myself to sleep, how long until I get lucky?
(**) เมื่อสุริยนย่ำสนธยา จะกลับบ้านนา
Meua sooriyon yum sontayah ja glup bahn nah
At twilight, I’ll return to the farm
ตอนชื่อเสียง เรามี
Dtaun cheu siang rao mee
When I’m named for the voice I have
จะยากจะจน ถึงอดจะทนเต็มที่
Ja yahk ja jon teung ot ja ton dtem tee
Though it’ll be difficult, I’ll willingly endure it
นักร้องบ้านนอกคนนี้ จะกล่อมน้องพี่และแฟนเพลง
Nuk raung bahn nauk kon nee ja glaum naung pee lae faen pleng
This country singer will soothe the young and old and all her fans

does somebody has the score of this song please ?
thanks for this
The line-by-line translation makes the rural imagery much easier to understand, especially the contrast between the singer’s public performance and her private homesickness. For marking verses in lyric notes, I sometimes use simple text symbols from https://allcute.net/cute-text-symbols/ — they keep the layout readable without distracting from the song.
The translation makes the pull between ambition in Bangkok and longing for the farm very clear; the twilight images give the song a quiet ache even for readers who do not know Thai. I like tools that make unfamiliar things easier to compare, and I use the same principle with younger Adopt Me players by checking https://adoptmevalues.trade/ before a trade. Thank you for preserving the transliteration beside each line.
The side-by-side Thai, transliteration, and English translation makes the song’s tension especially clear: ambition in Bangkok is always pulling against the longing for home and the fields. That repeated twilight image is beautiful. I collect visual references with the same sense of mood and storytelling in PixArmory.
The line-by-line translation makes the song’s emotional movement especially clear: ambition in Bangkok keeps pulling against the longing for home and the fields. The repeated twilight image gives the whole lyric a beautiful, circular feeling. Between translations I like taking a short break with the free brain games at My 脳トレ. Thank you for preserving both the Thai lyrics and their meaning so carefully.
The line-by-line Thai transliteration and English translation make the contrast between ambition in Bangkok and longing for the fields easy to follow. I maintain PhotoMerge, a browser-based image combiner that can place lyric screenshots or translation notes side by side. The repeated return-home theme comes through clearly even for readers who do not know Thai.
The translation makes the song’s tension very clear: the singer misses the fields and farm at twilight while still pursuing fame in Bangkok. Keeping the Thai script, romanization, and English line together also helps readers hear how the longing and perseverance develop verse by verse. A short note about the song’s release year and Pumpuang Duangjan’s place in luk thung history would add valuable context.
The three-line presentation—Thai script, romanization, and English—makes the movement from homesickness in Bangkok to the promise of returning as a recognized country singer easy to follow. A translator’s note on the most idiomatic or culturally loaded lines would help readers see where the English necessarily chooses one interpretation. Adding the confirmed album and release year would also place this song more clearly within Pumpuang Duangjan’s luk thung career.
The lyric does more than contrast Bangkok with the farm; it connects the singer’s public ambition to a promise to return and sing for young and old fans. The line-by-line transliteration helps readers notice how that return-home theme grows through each verse. A short note on the luk thung conventions behind these images would add useful cultural context.
Placing the Thai text, romanization, and English translation together makes the song easier to follow without losing its original wording. The separate title and artist details are also helpful, and marking the album and year as unknown clearly distinguishes the information still to be confirmed.
The Thai text, romanization, and English translation placed together make it easy to follow the song line by line. The contrast between missing home and pursuing a singing career comes through clearly in this presentation.
The crows flying home at twilight is a simple opening image, and the line-by-line romanization makes it easy to follow how that homesickness turns into the singer’s promise to return to the fields. Nice to see the Thai, transliteration and English kept side by side instead of a loose summary.
