Who knows this famous song and what it is about?
Made in Thailand. [In] this Thai country of ours
We keep old [ways/things], and have very good things
Coming from, first, the Sukothai [period], through the Lop Buri, Ayuthaya, [and] Thon Buri [periods]
This age is the Bangkok [era]*
The city where people fall into the sewer. (Hey! Don’t go saying that about them!)***
Made in Thailand. Thailand makes [things] itself:
When singing and dancing, the style is profound with slow gentle movements**
Foreigners are secretly impressed, but Thai people don’t appreciate
They are afraid they will feel inferior, that their fashion isn’t modern.
Made in Thailand. [But] then who will guarantee it? Huh?!
(I think maybe someone should be in charge of this!)
Made in Thailand. Fans [please] understand:
Products that Thai people use, [they] make themselves
Sew clothes, pants
Jeans (sha na na)
Then load them on an airplane, send them out, bring them back in
Thais get a good reputation.**** Farang get the money.
Made in Thailand. As soon as [they] hang [them] up in the store,
Label [them] “Made in Japan”
Then it will sell well for a high price
People can boast that it’s foreign
Totally up-to-date from the magazine
They didn’t trick us for money
We tricked ourselves . . . [oo-oo]
