志忠愛你

Hi! I am Alain Serino, a graduate of Secondary Education in Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan. I currently teaching Grade 6 Social Studies, Health Education and Moral at Sarasas Witaed Nimitmai here in Bangkok. Aside from teaching, blogging and music has been my means of expression throughout my stay here in Thailand. At certain times, I cannot constantly update my blogsite due to my “hectic” schedule but I see to it that in a month, I get to write 2 or more. I enjoy people-watching and travelling. I am intrinsic at times ,which is due to my past experiences in life. I am also a musician as I play the piano and flute.

If you wish to contact me, please feel free to send me an email at adlserino@gmail.com or may even send it to these following channels:

Hello there you little blue thing with the seal of Thailand with the wordings “Work Permit”. Yes!

Another TPop (Thai Pop) song has hit me and yes, I am writing about it. I am always thankful to deungdutjai.com for being my companion in having TPop songs translated accurately into pasa ang krit. Feast on the song lyrics and video. Analysis below.

Title: บอกตรงๆรักจังเลย / Bauk Dtrong Dtrong Ruk Jung Loey (I’m Telling You Straight That I Really Love You

Artist: Cherreen the Star

Album: [Single]

Year: 2013

ไม่ได้พอใจยากนะ แค่ไม่พอดีใครง่ายนัก

Mai dai por jai yahk na kae mai por dee krai ngai nuk

I’m not satisfied, it’s hard, it’s just not not right, everyone’s too simple

ไม่ได้เยอะแค่ยังไม่เข้าใจ Feel เลยยังไม่รัก

Mai dai yur kae yung mai kao jai feel loey yung mai ruk

It’s not much, I just still don’t understand, I felt like I still don’t love anyone

เพิ่งได้ซึ้งถึงคำนี้ เมื่อมีเธอมาคุยมาทัก

Perng dai seung teung kum nee meua mee tur mah kooey mah tuk

I just felt this word when I had you come and talk to me and say hello

เหมือนลูกศรคิวปิดยิงตรงมาปักหัวใจ

Meuan look son cupid ying dtrong mah bpuk hua jai

It’s like Cupid’s arrow had been shot right through my heart

(*)

สเปคฉันแบบไหน อ๋อ รู้แล้วแบบนี้

Speck chun baep nai oh roo laeo baep nee

What’s my type? Oh, now I know it’s like this

ตอบใครได้ทันที ตอบโจทย์ที่ใจตามหา

Dtaup krai dai tun tee dtaup joht tee jai dtahm hah

Who can immediately answer? The answer to the problem I’ve been searching for?

(**)

เจอะคนนี้ FIN เลย บ่องตงรักจุงเบย

Jur kon nee fin loey baung dtong ruk joong boey

Meeting you and it’s finished, speaking frankly, I really love you

อยากอวดทุกคนเลย ว่าพบเจ้าของหัวใจ

Yahk uat took kon loey wah pob jao kaung hua jai

I want to show off to everyone that I’ve found the owner of my heart

ต้องลอง check in ละ อยู่ตรงนี้มองตา

Dtaung laung check in la yoo dtrong nee maung dtah

I must try to check in right here in your eyes

มีเธอทุกเวลา นี่แหละที่รอมานาน

Mee tur took welah nee lae tee ror mah nahn

I have you every moment, this is what I’ve been waiting for for so long

คอยมานาน เธอคนเดียว ไม่ต้องการใคร

Koy mah nahn tur kon diao mai dtaung gahn krai

Waiting for so long for you alone, I don’t need anyone else

ไม่สงสัยแล้วความรัก เพราะเธอเข้ามาทำให้ชัด

Mai song sai laeo kwahm ruk pror tur kao mah tum hai chut

I no longer wonder about love because you showed up and made it clear

ถ้าความรักเป็นหนังสือ คงมีชื่อเธอทุกบรรทัด

Tah kwahm ruk bpen nung seu kong mee cheu tur took buntuk

If love was a book, your name would be every title

ล่องลอยไปไหนไม่ได้ รักของเธอเหมือนเชือกมามัด

Laung loy bpai nai mai dai ruk kaung tur meuan cheuak mah mut

I can’t float off anywhere, your love is like a rope tying me up

ทุกอย่างที่เป็นเธอ บังคับให้ฉันต้องยอม

Took yahng tee bpen tur bungkup hai chun dtaung yaum

Everything is you, forcing me to give in

(FIN เลย FIN เลย)

(Fin loey fin loey)

(It’s finished, it’s finished)

(check in ละ อยู่ตรงนี้มองตา

(Check in la yoo dtrong nee maung dtah

(I’m checking in right here in your eyes

มีเธอทุกเวลา นี่แหละที่รอมานาน

Musicality wise, it has a KPop rip-off-theme in terms of beat, choreography, styling of the artist and the packaging of the video but overall, it does not really sound to be a total rip-off (if you get what I mean). I actually believe that we all have this KPop fever rising in Asian countries and so in order to compete with them, the Koreans, Thais are going for it yet still leaves space for national identity. Please try to understand me even if I speak gibberish.

Another fascinating idea is that, basing on the translation above, the artist, เชอรีน, which is the sister of Nickhun of 2pm, is, in a way, stalking the guy she likes; doing things that would catch the guy’s attention and publicly confesses through action that she really is truly in love with him. The song is shallow in meaning but it surprises me that Thais are now open to songs like these (there are many songs with this theme and even more) which makes me say that we all can compete globally.
