I know, I know, I know, I know ทำให้เหมือนว่าดูเลิกกันดี
I know I know I know I know tum hai meuan wah doo lerk gun dee
I know, I know, I know, I know you’re making it seem like we broke up on good terms
You know, You know, You know, You know ความจริงเธอไม่คิดจะใยดี
You know, you know, you know, you know kwahm jing tur mai kit ja yai dee
You know, you know, you know, you know in truth you don’t think we have a good relationshp
I know, I know, I know, I know เธอไม่เคยเป็นห่วงอะไรใคร
I know I know I know I know tur mai koey bpen huang arai krai
I know, I know, I know, I know, you’re never worried about anything or anyone
You know, You know, You know, You know ทำห่วงใยไปงั้นให้ดูดี
You know you know you know you know tum huang yai bpai ngun hai doo dee
You know, you know, you know, you know, you’re acting worried to look good
(*) ฉันยังเจ็บมั้ย ฉันยังป่วยมั้ย เธออยากรู้ความจริงหรือไง
Chun yung jep mai chun yung bpuay mai tur yahk roo kwahm jing reu ngai
Am I still hurting? Am I still sick? Do you really want to know the truth?
ฉันขอบอกไว้ ว่าต้องขอบใจ ตั้งแต่ที่เธอไป everytime everyday everynight
Chun kor bauk wai wah dtaung kaup jai dtung dtae tee tur bpai every time every day every night
I want to tell you that I must thank you, since you left, every time, every day, every night
(**) ชีวิตดี ดี ดี ดี ดี ดี เมื่อไม่มี ไม่มี ไม่มีเธอ
Cheewit dee dee dee dee dee dee meua mai mee mai mee mai mee tur
Life is good good good good good good without, without, without you
เธออยากลั้ลลา ก็ลา ลา ลาที อย่าได้แคร์อะไรให้เวิ่นเว้อ
Tur yahk lulla gor la la la tee yah dai care arai hai wern ver
You wanna be carefree? Then go la la la, don’t pay attention about any nonsense
ยังเต้นดี ดี ดี ดี ดี ดี แค่เลิกกัน หัวใจยังเต้นถี่
Yung dten dee dee dee dee dee dee kae lerk gun hua jai yung dten tee
I’m still dancing well well well well well well, we only broke up, my heart is still beating

ตั้งแต่เลิกกันไป ซีวิตเธอดีขึ้นเท่าไหร่
Dtung dtae lerk gun bpai cheewit tur dee keun tao rai
How much has your life improved since we broke up?
I hope you feel better now

ขาด You เป็น My Queen ก็เหมือนเป็น King ที่ไม่มี Crown

Without you as my queen, it’s like I’m a king without a crown

Waii has always been a guilty pleasure, and I really like this song haha. I like the bitter, independent lyrics, I like her voice, I like the mixture of traditional Thai instruments and vocal stylings, and aside from the bits of broken English in Timethai’s rap, I think his rap lyrics actually fit the song and aren’t awkward and disjointed like TJ 3.2.1’s always were. As for the music video…I want to love it, I really do, but I feel like something’s missing, though I just can’t put my finger on what. I like the wigs Waii used, I really like the outfits, both the hip-hop and the traditional Thai. The choreography, though hardly present and seemingly only in the chorus, is good too. Perhaps with all the hype surrounding it, I just expect a little bit more, like some essence of a storyline, or with all the behind-the-scenes dance practice promos, I expected there to be more coherency with the dancing. But. For what it is, I don’t hate it~ 😀 I said it before, but I’ll say it again, this song vaguely reminds me of Tata Young’s “Good Times,” and I can see Waii possibly being Thailand’s next reigning pop princess~

Just watched the MV. Of course, their translation’s a bit off. The song aint so bad, but it took me a while to get used to her voice on this one. But, that dance was awkward and there was awkward shots in the MV. Not much was accomplished in it either; they built up the hype up way too much for it. That outfit she wears when she is with Timethai, is that a Thai traditional garment?
I’m actually embarrassed to say how much I really like this song hahaha~
As for the music video, I don’t hate it, and I do want to love it, but it seems to be lacking something, though I can’t put my finger on exactly what. Perhaps, like you said, it was just over-hyped and couldn’t live up to the expectation haha. I agree that it would have been stronger with at least some essence of a storyline, or stronger, more coherent choreography.
But yes, that’s traditional Thai dress she wears in the middle 🙂
