Title: เพื่อนรัก / Peuan Ruk (Dear Friend)
Artist: The Parkinson
Album: [Single]
Year: 2016

ขอโทษที่ฉันเอง ไม่อาจเป็นเหมือนเดิม อย่างที่เธอต้องการ Oh…baby
Kor toht tee chun eng mai aht bpen meuan derm yahng tee tur dtaung gahn oh baby
I’m sorry that I might not be the same, like you want, oh, baby
แค่เพื่อนเท่านั้น พยายามเข้าใจ
Kae peuan tao nun payayahm kao jai
We’re only friends, I’m trying to understand
แต่ทำไมในใจของฉันยังสั่น Oh baby
Dtae tummai nai jai kaung chun yung sun oh baby
But why is my heart still pounding inside? Oh, baby

(*) เธอ… เธอคงไม่รู้ ว่า…
Tur tur kong mai roo wah
You, you probably don’t know that
เพื่อนเธอคนนี้ ภายในใจนั้น
Peuan tur kon nee pai nai jai nun
This friend of yours, inside their heart
ข้างใน… ได้เปลี่ยนไปแล้ว
Kahng nai dai bplian bpai laeo
Inside, they’ve changed

(**) เปลี่ยนไปเป็นรัก รักจนหมดหัวใจ
Bplian bpai bpen ruk ruk jon mot hua jai
It’s changed into love, love with all of my heart
รักเพียงแต่เธอ ขอเพียงให้เธอได้รู้
Ruk piang dtae tur kor piang hai tur dai roo
I love only you, I just want you to know
ไม่มีอีกแล้ว เพื่อนที่เธอไว้ใจ
Mai mee eek laeo peuan tee tur wai jai
The friend you trusted doesn’t exist anymore
เหลือเพียงแต่คนๆ หนึ่ง ที่เก็บซ่อนความรักไว้ไม่ไหว
Leua piang dtae kon kon neung tee gep saun kwahm ruk wai mai wai
All that’s left is just one person who can’t hide their love anymore
ถ้าเธอไม่คิดอะไรอย่างนั้น ก็แค่ทำว่าฉันไม่เคยพูดไป
Tah tur mai kit arai yahng nun gor kae tum wah chun mai koey poot bpai
If you don’t feel anything like that, just act like I never said anything
(แค่สักครั้งที่ฉันได้บอกเธอว่ารัก)
(Kae suk krung tee chun dai bauk tur wah ruk)
(Just once that I told you I loved you)

ฉันคงไม่รู้ตัว ไม่ได้ทันระวัง
Chun kong mai roo dtua mai dai tung rawung
I didn’t realize it, I wasn’t careful
อยากให้เธอเข้าใจ Oh…Baby
Yahk hai tur kao jai oh baby
I want you to understand, oh, baby
สัญญาจากนี้ไป หากเรายังต้องเจอ จะไม่ทำให้เธอนั้นต้องรำคาญ Oh baby
Sunyah jahk nee bpai hahk rao yung dtaung jur ja mai tum hai tur nun dtaung rumkahn oh baby
I promise, from how on, if we still must meet, I won’t bother you, oh, baby

Another hit for the Parkinson~ The song itself is fantastic, but I love how the music video takes it a step further than just another friend-developing-crush-on-friend, adding in the extra emotional confusion of being transgender and starting to regret the decision of transitioning when the object of your affection isn’t into girls. What a cliffhanger at the ending! Will there be a part two?
I must say, I could have done with at least one less “oh, baby” though haha

    The melody stays in my head, and whenever i listen to it with my iPod, the MV will show in my mind.

  23. This song has a really emotional theme about a friendship slowly turning into deeper feelings, while the person tries to hide what is in their heart. The lyrics make the story feel honest and relatable, especially when the singer promises not to make things uncomfortable if the feelings are not returned. It also shows how food and shared moments can bring people closer, so planning a meal for friends or a small gathering can add another warm touch to the occasion. For group meals and event planning, the zaxby’s catering menu can also be a useful option.
