andymori - Transit in Thailand (english translation)

Transit in Thailand

Music and Lyrics: Souhei Oyamada

Transit in Thailand
Tonight as well white, black and yellow monkeys are dancing at a party
CNN’s explosive sound*
A road movie that capitalists are crazy about

Sawadee clap your hands**

Transit in Thailand
A beach party I’m struggling through with my body like a jellyfish
On the other side of the horizon that the retired old men are gazing at, a brand new game is waiting***

Sawadee clap your hands

Transit in Thailand
The monkeys crowd the Khaosan Road
Boys and girls and a blind singer smile back at me

Notes:
*I don’t know what CNN he means
**I think this is a play on words? “Sawadee krap” (or various other slightly different pronunciations/spellings of it) seems to be a Thai greeting used by men, but I guess since the end sounds like “kurappu” (loan word for “clap”) Souhei fused the two words together and it’s like “Hello, clap your hands”
***Not sure about this line

Transit in Thailand

TORANJITTO IN TAIRANDO konya mo shiro ya kuro ya kiiro no saru-tachi ga odoru PAATII
CNN no bakuhatsuon ano shihonka-tachi no nekkyou no ROODOMUUBII

SAWADII KURAPPYUAHANZU

TORANJITTO IN TAIRANDO kurage-mitai na karada de tadoritsuita BIICHI PAATII
RITAIAMENTO no jii-san mitsumeta suiheisen no mukou ni oite-kita BURANNYUU GEEMU

SAWADII KURAPPYUAHANZU

TORANJITTO IN TAIRANDO saru-tachi ga mureru KAOSAN doori
Hohoemikaeshita shounenshoujo moumoku no SHINGAA
