Inspirational Thai pop song newly translated
In fact, there's still a line I'm not sure of. Also I skipped one verse that is repeated.
Kon La Fun (People Chase Dreams) by Carabao
The sunlight just appears from the horizon
There is plenty more time for us again
Take your life towards its goal
Even if it’s risky, even if you might die, you should try
Watch the sky, the flock of crows looking for something to eat
Flying somewhere farther than you can see.
Like the reminder that every life is born
for seeking, fighting, and struggling.
*Oh, life has many, many things
There is birth, aging, pain, and death similarly [in every life]
The thing that is not the same is the dream
It’s up to the person to chase it ‘til they have it in their hand
Humans are people with good and evil mixed together.
Those who have honor are both rich and poor
To have love is a beautiful thing
To have disappointment is only natural
The sky above, the water below, the earth block the way
Cross over to grab your dream
Life comes just once.
Don’t let it go spiritlessly.
*Oh life has many, many things
There is birth, aging, pain, and death similarly [in every life]
The thing that is not the same is the dream
It’s up to the person to chase it til they have it in their hand
Even in months of darkness
[You] still have the right to dream gloriously
Like the candlelight lights the path brightly far ahead
Like the sparkling firefly in the night
To stand alone in the fear that you lie to yourself
Is the same as hastening towards failure
[You] haven’t yet started to do [anything,] good or bad
[You] burn [your]self in the fire of your fear
*Oh life has many, many things
There is birth, aging, pain, and death similarly [in every life]
But what is not the same is the dream
It’s up to the person to chase it til they have it in their hand
The sheet of wide sky, the gigantic mountain. You’ve crossed [both] before
The beautiful dream, I ask you once, did you ever cross over?
Go to the shore of your dream far away
But in the end you get it.
Try out being a person who chases dreams
The prize of dreams is dreaming
Life comes just once
Don’t let it be boring.
*Oh life has many, many things
There is birth, aging, pain, and death similarly [in every life]
But what is not the same is the dream
It’s up to the person to chase it til they have it in their hand (2X)
The sunlight just appears from the horizon
There is plenty of time for us again
Take your life towards its goal
Even if it’s risky, even if you might die, you should try
Try out being a person who chases dreams
The prize of dreams is dreaming
Life comes just once
Don’t let it be boring.
