Priep chun pen nok
I’m like a bird
Priep tur pen fah
You’re like the sky
Chun bin tao rao,
No matter how much I fly,
Tae tur mai teung suk tee
I can’t even reach the tip of you
Nuey laa aun raeng
Tired and fatigued
Mot laaw wun nee
I’ve used up all my energy
Sing tee koo kuan gaw kae ging mai
I’m only well-matched for a twig

*Tee krai wah nok bin yoo bon fah
People say that birds fly in the sky
Tae mun hah fah mai jur suk tee
But they search for the sky to no avail
Tee mong hen tur wah yoo kae nee
I can see that you’re just right there
Tae glai luer dee chun uem mai teung
But you’re so far out of my reach

Muer tur pen tur, tee soong yahng nun
When you are you, so high up like this
Teung tur ruk chun, gaw took geet gan yoo dee
Even if you love me, there are still obstacles
Kwai kwah tao rai
No matter how much I try to grab you
Mai teung suk tee
I can’t reach you at all
Sing tee koo kuan gaw keu puad jai
What I deserve is a broken heart

Repeat * twice

Tee krai wah nok bin yoo bon fah
People say that birds fly in the sky
Tee jing laaw pai mai teung suk tee
But the truth is, they never reach it
Tee mong hen tur wah yoo kae nee
I can see that you’re just right there
Tae glai luer dee chun uem mai teung
But you’re so far out of my reach
