Prai (Thailand / Laos)
Verse 1
Kha waang chai khɔ̌ɔ jɔ̀ɔn chai kha, Hai khwaam fan khɔ̌ɔ pen thāng bun, Met sai khwām pen tua thi kha waai maa, Hai plian pen sing thi mi khwaam suk. Mʉ̂a kha lʉ̂ak khɔ̌ɔ nūa khwaam ying yɔ̄t, Kha phop tua eng thi thuk khang nai.
Verse 2
Khwaam rak sɔ̄n kha hai hen jing, Nɔ̄̄k jāk khwaam tongkan khɔ̌ɔ, Khwaam suk khɔ̌ɔ klai pen siang pleng, Kān tō̄tō̄̄ khɔ̌ɔ pen din khɔ̌ɔ chai. Mʉ̂a kha wai khɔ̌ɔ kɔ̀ɔn tua eng, Kha phop khwaam ruai thi jing.

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.
