Lyric
Lam Tangwai Phairin
Phairin Phonphibun
Verse 1:
Let's put our ten fingers together
Over the head to worship
We put up incense and candles
I worship the great earth
I will begin with a tangwai
Please listen (Repeat)
Verse 2:
So long
Phairin is still very young
And my singing is not so good
Please forgive me, everyone
My beloved (Repeat)
Verse 3:
You
Why can't a beautiful man like you
Why can't a beautiful man like you be born in a village where the soil is black and the water is rich?
I wish you had been born in my village, Phibun Mangsahan Distrct
A beautiful man (Repeat)
Verse 4:
Guy
I'm not the most brilliant woman in the world
But I will listen to my parents
I don't get involved with men so as not to worry my parents
Beautiful man (Repeat)
Verse 5:
Guy
What if I'm a careless person?
I'm full of stupidity
I see a toad, I'm startled, I jump over the fence
I stepped over the tub and flooded the whole house
Beautiful man (Repeat)
Verse 6:
It's you
Our fields are far from the village
Our fields are far from the village
In the evening the cows go back to their hut and I don't even notice
Is it still my sin to be dumb?
Sweetheart (Repeat)
Verse 7
It's you
When I sleep I see you in my dreams
When I wake up, I can still see your face
I always want to see you
Beautiful man (Repeat)
Verse 8
The time has come to say goodbye
The tangwai girl is saying goodbye
Farewell to all my fans
Please think of me when you're far away
Don't forget about me
My fans (Repeat x 6)

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.
