Verse 1
Na khɔ̀ɔ̀ jɨ̀ng hua chai khɔ̀ɔ̀ na hua chai khɔ̀ɔ̀, Na khɔ̀ɔ̀ thang khwām fan khɔ̀ɔ̀ pen thang thi sak-sit, Met sai khwām pen tua khɔ̀ɔ̀ thi na waai maa, Plian pen sing thi di kwaa lae mi phōn. Mʉ̂a na lʉ̂ak khɔ̀ɔ̀ nūa khwām yɔ̄t yā̄ng khɔ̀ɔ̀, Na khɔ̀ɔ̀ phop tua khɔ̀ɔ̀ thi thuk pit wai.
Verse 2
Khwām rak sɔ̄n hai na khɔ̀ɔ̀ hen jing, Kʉ̄n jāk krachok khwām tongkan khɔ̀ɔ̀, Khwām suk khɔ̀ɔ̀ klai pen pleng khɔ̀ɔ̀, Kān tō̄tō̄̄ khɔ̀ɔ̀ pen din thi winyan khɔ̀ɔ̀ kin. Mʉ̂a na wai khɔ̀ɔ̀ kɔ̀ɔn tua eng, Na khɔ̀ɔ̀ phop sap sin thi jing khɔ̀ɔ̀.

Verse 1:
When I placed your heart before my own, And made your dreams my sacred quest, The selfish seeds I'd always sown Gave way to something far more blessed. In choosing you above my pride, I found the person locked inside.
Verse 2:
Love taught me how to truly see Beyond the mirror of my needs, Your joy became my melody, Your growth, the soil where my soul feeds. By putting you before myself, I discovered my truest wealth.
