I am so laughing at the concept of this music video, seriously it’s ridiculous, it’s like every lakorn plotline–marriage via an exchange. She wants to learn how to make chocolate from him, he needs a wife to deceive his mum and dad–voilà, they get marry. After several guk-gik (flirty) and waan (sweet) moments together, they begin to realize they like each other and the fake marriage becomes REAL! Wah.
From the ‘Kulap Satan (Rose Satan)’ Ost, ’Yaak Ja Roo (I want to know)’ by Note Panayanggool feat. Junior the Star 7, been meaning to translate this song for the longest time.
Lyrics:
Far, no matter how far, there will still be an answer
Long, no matter how long, I will never forget…disappear
I look up at the stars as they can be like a friend when I am lonely
I am thinking of that person
You are like the star that I can rest my heart in
I close my eyes and dream.
I want to know at this moment where you are at (I want to know if you are still thinking of me)
I want to know what you are thinking of.
I want to know, I want to know, I want to know
I look up at the stars as they can be like a friend when I am lonely
I am thinking of that person (I really miss him)
You are still like the star that I can rest my heart in
It can only be in a dream
I want to know where you are at (I want to know if you are thinking of me)
I want to know what you are thinking of
I want to know, I want to know, I want to know
I want to know at this moment where you are at (I want to know if you are still thinking of me)
I want to know how you are
I want to know, I want to know, I want to know
(The time goes by slower)I want it to be as before
(I told myself it can never be) but I will keep you in my memories.
I will not let it go…
I want to know where you are at (I want to know if you are thinking of me)
I want to know how you are
I want to know, I want to know, I want to know
I want to know, I want to know, I want to know
The lyrics to the song by the indie trio Room 39 for Janie and Ken’s romantic comedy “Kon Ruk Luang Jai (The Trickery of Love Dupes the Heart)”–whenever I watch this lakorn, I get excited when the song comes on. It’s a narration of Janie or Bua’s side of the story– she is madly in love with Ran played by Ken that she is willing to play the role of his hired lover just to be close to him. They love each other; however, he is choosing his career over her. He wants to be the next Thai ambassador to the Czech Republic, he can’t marry a woman with a scandalous past. He reminds her often that their love can only be temporary.
Room 39′s “To keep you”
Although I know, it won’t be too long until our love ends
I know that it won’t be too long until our relationship is taken away
Although I know that no one will understand our love
And there is no way it will go far, no way it can be real.*
However, I’m against it. Against it even though I have accepted it.
Because the love I have for you is more than something that can be taken back
(Beyond what one can turn his back on)**
I truly want to keep this moment even though it is not real.
I want to keep the feeling, the happiness, everything deep inside where no one can steal it from me.
I want to keep every minute we have no matter how it will end.
But I want to keep it.
I don’t know for how long I won’t see or listen, or know the reason why.
I refuse to no matter how much it hurts in exchange for us to be together.(*, **)
(**)
I want to ask to choose the pain
I want to ask to choose to keep you.
Wrote a Thai netizen at Pantip, it brings back memories of the original with “Ann” Siriam Pakdeedamrongrit and Saranyu Wongkrachang from 1994. I agree, I fell in love with this song when I first heard it on Monday. The song is titled “Ter Keu Krai (Who are you?)”, sung by Khun Nalinrut, a graduate of Chulalongkorn University with a bachelor degree in Music. It’s a classical song telling the story of “Tawee Pope” about a young woman who travels through time to find her true love. The young woman is transfixed on an antique mirror with mystical powers that acts like a time portal to the past.
Before she purchased the mirror, she dreams of him, his home, the aroma of his world, his era, the sound of his violin. Her purchase of the mirror was not by chance, but rather it was designed by the heavens for this young woman to meet her destined lover.

Haven’t seen her in awhile, but she is back with a new single titled “Kid Mak (Think Too Much)”. It’s playful and upbeat, I like it.

‘Kao’ Jirayu La-ongmanee stars in a low-budget video for Kob Taxi, titled “Ngao Meuan Gan Mai Nai Keun Nee (Are you Lonely tonight too?)” produced by Grammy Records for his 2011 album “Neung Dieow (Only)”. The concept for the video is very simple, Kao has a girlfriend who is dying, then by some miracle by a dark angel played by Kob, she comes back to life.
