Lyric

Lam Phloen Handsome Guy

Lumyai Sungkamani

Intro:

That person with the short cut, whose neckline is arranged like a beautiful wave

Behind her clear cheeks and piercing gaze, she hides her loneliness…

Bridge:

It's you

The time has come (Repeat)

The time for a change has come

The beauty is here

Let's show our fans what we're made of with a spectacular dance

Stepping slowly on the stage on tiptoe (Repeat)

This dance is meant to turn men around and make them fall in love with you

Somehow, you looked away (Repeat)

Just like everyone else

Turn around and look at me (Repeat)

Give me your smile (Repeat)

Show me your beautiful smile with your sparkling eyes

It's you (Repeat)

That man, turn to me (Repeat)

You, with your dark shirt

Do you have a girlfriend? (Repeat)

You, with your slim body (Repeat)

Skin as white as a yam bean

I want to turn your seeds into molam (*1)

I want to follow you home (Repeat)

Verse 1:

You

I've never loved anyone

Even if it were a man's word without falsehood (Repeat)

I'm not going to have a relationship

These are my true feelings (Repeat)

Hook 1:

Come here quickly (Repeat)

You're standing there, come closer

I've been in love with you for a long time

Your beautiful eyebrows tickle my feminine fancy

So much so that I can't play in the river in front of you (Repeat)

Beautiful eyebrows in the shape of a bow (Repeat)

What is your sweet gaze staring at? Stop it

Tall and cool standing pose (Repeat)

Gazing at you with the corner of her eye, smiling at you

Who's your girlfriend? (Repeat)

I can tell at a glance that she's used to dancing

Are you sure you want to talk to a woman like me? (Repeat)

Verse 2:

If I had a boyfriend, it would bring me misfortune (Repeated)

If I could ask you to love me

Lam Yai is still single (Repeat)

If you're thinking of taking me in, now's the time (Repeat)

Hook 2:

Come here (Repeat)

Cool guy standing there

Lam Yai has been in love with you for a long time

What village are you from?

To be honest, I've never seen you before

You shine like the white light of a full moon

You're a star, staring at me from the sky

Like a bee seeking honey in the hollow of a flower

Verse 3:

I'm about to freeze to death because of a bad relationship (Repeat)

I'm looking for you, but you don't show up

I'm filled with loneliness in my heart

My heart hurts from my poor life (Repeat)

Beautiful man, do me a favor (Repeat)

If you don't mind molam, will you come and ask me to marry you?

Hook 3:

If you come (Repeat)

I'll soon make up my mind

Don't you want to take me back with you?

Let's listen to music while looking at the snowflake flowers (Repeat)

If you have a red sedan

Let's have our wedding night together with me (Repeat) (*2)

EM Records again shines the spotlight on legendary Thai producer Surin Phaksiri in this second edition of his classic productions from the 1960s-80s. The first edition, released in 2019, focused on his innovative productions in the luk thung style. This 2022 release features his stellar, glowing molam gems from the 60s-80s, drawn mainly from his golden era in the late 70s and early 80s. Surin Phaksiri is a highly esteemed figure in Thai music, rooted deeply in his native region of Isan in northeast Thailand, a producer with a deep respect for the traditional artistry of his culture, yet always moving forward, looking outward, listening ahead. The molam style of Thai music showcases the voice; indeed, the genre's name means "expert singer", and Thailand is blessed with an abundance of experts, singers with amazing control, grace, vitality and finesse. This collection of 22 songs features 15 singers, ranging from venerated legends to unjustly unheralded masters of the art. These songs were recorded and released after the era of the 7-inch single; with the advent of the cassette boom in Thai music, most producers adopted a quantity-over-quality conveyer belt production style, churning out soundalike material to fill the expanded length of cassette tape. Phaksiri resisted these tides and continued to work with a single-song mindset, tailoring each production's instrumentation and arrangement to precisely fit each singer and song. This care and integrity can be clearly heard in this sweetly groovy collection. These gems, originally released on 7-inch vinyl, are all first-time official reissues, a project years in the making. Compiled by Soi48, who also provide liner notes.
