Lyric

Lam Phloen Let's Fall in Love

Naree Rungruang

Intro:

Come on

I've been told many times that my love is over

This molam girl

I say the words, but all that comes back is silence (Repeat)

I don't know where my waiting person is

Verse 1:

It's you

I've met you (Repeat)

You, shining so white that the whole of Thailand is talking about you

At that moment, I fell in love at first sight

When the light hits you, you're as beautiful as a stone sculpture

Skin as fine and white as an egg

I felt like I was going to die of a heart attack I was mesmerized by you

You're as good-looking as a movie actor

Your voice is as sweet as boiled sugar

The only one on earth

Will you be my lover?

Even if you do have a lover

Your little bit of compassion will be my heart's support

If you become my lover, you will never stop smiling (Repeat)

I come from a village in Isan

I keep waiting to fall in love with you

Please have mercy on the unconnected Naree

Without a lover, I spend lonely nights alone

I can't get rid of the scars in my heart when I see people with lovers

Bridge 1:

I leave my body and soul in your hands (Repeat)

Until the end of my life, even if my wish does not come true

I will never forget this life (Repeat)

I can honestly say, "I love you

It was heavenly guidance that brought me to you

If Heaven permits, I will love only you (Repeat)

Hook 1:

Turn around for a second (Repeat)

Don't be so indifferent

Nally loves you so much it hurts her heart

If you don't hurry up and call out to me

I don't know if you'll regret it later

Nalie may be young, but I promise not to double-cross her

Bridge 2:

When I fall asleep, I don't have a lover (Repeat)

If you don't show me mercy

I'd be alone

I have no one to even talk to in my poor life

Who will be my lover?

If you don't mind me being poor, contact me right away

If you don't feel safe enough to contact Nally, then get engaged

You, please contact me (Repeat)

And get me a five-carat diamond for my engagement ring

Hook 2:

When the rum is over (Repeat)

Let's get married right away

The betrothal money is not expensive 15,000 is fine (*)

If you like me, give me the ring

If you're a man of courage

I'll let you kiss me on the cheek (Repeat)

15,000 baht is equivalent to about 800,000 baht in today's value

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.
