Royaume de Siam [English translation]

I saw you sitting in a street

With your child under your shirt

Shoulders exposed, covered with gold

To please your god, again you dance

The river flows at the edge of the temple of Dawn

Nobody cries or complains

At night streets are warm, children play

Wide eyes without eyelids

Tanned skin, fair belly

The river flows at the foot of the great stone Buddha

Kingdom of Siam

Path leading to the happy people

Kingdom of Siam

Who sees the world through your eyes

Maybe that one will find happiness

I saw you in the strange city

Door to heaven, town of the angels

With love and freedom

Eat mango and drink tea

Your river will flow for ever

Kingdom of Siam

Path leading to the happy people

Kingdom of Siam

Who sees the world through your eyes

Maybe that one will find happiness

I saw you sitting in the street

With your child under your shirt

Shoulders exposed, covered with gold

You always dance, again you dance

The river flows at the edge of the temple of Dawn

Kingdom of Siam

Path leading to the happy people

Kingdom of Siam

Who sees the world through your eyes

Maybe that one will find happiness

Who sees the world through your eyes

Maybe that one will find happiness
