Zleepy Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I was sorting through my files and found this - The Thai National Anthem translated into English and also with a transliterated Thai version in roman characters., . Maybe others will be interested to check it out.. hum along to it or whatever.. Just please don't ask me what the words are for the Australian National Anthem ok!! Because I'm sure that I, and like many many other Australians, would not be able to tell you. :shock: ============================== THAI NATIONAL ANTHEM: à ¾Å§ªÒµÔä·Â »ÃÃà ·Èä·ÂÃÇÃà Å×Ã´à ¹×éêҵÔà ª×éÃä·Â à »ç¹»ÃêÒÃÑ° ä¼·¢Ã§ä·Â·Ø¡Êèǹ ÃÂÙè´Ó礧äÇéä´é·Ñé§ÃÇÅ ´éÇÂä·ÂÅéǹËÃÒ ÃÑ¡ÊÒÃѤ¤Õ ä·Â¹ÕéÃѺʧº áµè¶Ö§ÃºäÃè¢ÅÒ´ à áÃÒª¨ÃäÃèãËéã¤Ã¢èâÕè ÊÅÃà Å×ô·Ø¡ËÂÒ´à »ç¹ªÒµÔ¾ÅÕ à ¶ÅÔ§»ÃÃà ·ÈªÒµÔä·Â·ÇÕ ÃժѠªâ !!! ============================== ENGLISH TRANSLATION: Thailand is founded on the blood and flesh Thai people share, Every portion of the land belongs to us, thus we must care; The reason why this country still exists is because the Thai people have long loved one another and been united. We Thai are peace-loving people but in time of war uncowardly, we'll fight to the bitter end, None is allowed to oppress and destroy our independence; To sacrifice every droplet of blood as a national offering, we are always ready, For the sake of our country's progress and victory, CHAIYO! ===================================== ROMANISED TRANSLITERATION: Prathet Thai ruam leuat neua chaht cheua Thai Pen pracharat pa-tai korng Thai took suan Yoo dam-rong kong wai dai tang-muan Duay Thai luan mai rak samak-kee Thai nee rak sa-ngob dtaa teung rop mai klahd Aek-a-rahd ja mai hai krai kom kee Sa-la leuat took yaht pen chaht plee Ta-lerng prathet chaht Thai ta-wee mee-chai CHA-YO!!

khun_lung Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Thats cool , what does chaiyo mean ? Chaiyo means "cheers!". When we Westerners hold our glasses high in a toast and say "Cheers!", the Thai word is "chaiyo!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the learning process is not always being right. I stand by what I said, but in the context of the national anthem I accept your correction. "Chai"(ªÑÂ) means victory. But the "chaiyo" you mention I can't find in my dictionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beamer Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Here is a site that lets you listen to it line by line if you want to learn it http://www.learningthai.com/songs/anthem.html It has an English translation at the bottom (although it also incorrectly translates Chai Yo as cheers) :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigKus Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 ..:: In my perception ( as a thai ) we use 'chaiyo' for celebrate the victory ! and in some celebration PARTIES. For holding glass with ready to drink ( generally ) we would say "chon keaw = crash the glass" or "mod keaw = drink it out" or sometime say both. Pls be noted, We do not hold glass singing national anthem, we usually stand up paying respect. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigKus Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Sounds like a communist anthem. ..:: You can considered that all is up to you.., but if you open your mind wilder you would see the pride of the country's owners in every national anthems.. 8) dun no.. it's the point of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejudgegiles Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Wasn't chaiyo the word used for cocaine in Scarface? :roll: Oh no... that was yaiyo, sorry! :oops: Yeah, my understanding of 'Chaiyo' is as victory... as it's said sometimes whilst pushing one's arm into the air in a victorious manner. I am doing a search on my com for other bizzarre Thai extracts I may have downloaded... will report back should I discover something amusing or of interest.

Loburt Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Well I don't know about the blood, but they certainly are sharing the flesh. Wonder how all the minorities who live here, some of whom lived here before the Thais, feel about the words. Yes, most national anthems are a tad xenophobic and racist, but maybe it's time to update some of them to reflect a broader view. Chaiyo does means victory. Every athlete shouts it when he wins an event or contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeusbheld Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Sounds like a communist anthem.If you ever wonder why Thai's (as a society) are xenophobic and racist , no need to look any further than the anthem. U are right on that one, but I guess most national anthems have those themes, which still doesn't make them right. British anthem about killing Scottish German: Deutschland uber alles (German are on top of all) Strange they didn't change anthems after WWII thank god the US national anthem reflects our history of peace and non-confrontational, diplomatic solutions to conflicts. "the bombs bursting in air... and the rocket's red glare... gave proof through the night that our flag was still there... " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaDaz Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Never thought much of 'God save the Queen'' as a National anthem... For real patriotic fervor that gets the natives nervous you can't beat.. ''Land of hope and glory'' Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned. God make thee mightier yet! On Sov'reign brows, beloved, renowned, Once more thy crown is set. Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained, Have ruled thee well and long; By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained, Thine Empire shall be strong. Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free, How shall we extol thee, Who are born of thee? Wider still and wider Shall thy bounds be set; God, who made thee mighty, Make thee mightier yet God, who made thee mighty, Make thee mightier yet. Thy fame is ancient as the days, As Ocean large and wide A pride that dares, and heeds not praise, A stern and silent pride Not that false joy that dreams content With what our sires have won; The blood a hero sire hath spent Still nerves a hero son. Real stiring stuff.....Watch out you colonials :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
