Duay Meu Kong Ter
By Your Own Hands
by Nat Myria Benedetti
Yark bork ter leur gern
I really want to tell you
Yark hai ter dai fung
I want you to listen
Yark tob tan ter duay kum neung kum
I want reciprocate to you with a few words
Kum tee mai keuy pood jark park
These words have never left my lips
Bork krai tung nun
Or have ever been spoken to anyone else at all
Kum tee koo kuan tee sood
These words are most suited
Gub kon dee chain ter
For someone as good as you
------------------------------
Refrain 1
Yark kob khun leur gern
I really want to thank you
Gub kwarm dee kong ter
For all your goodness
Gub cheewit nee tee ter hai wai
For the life that you have given me
Cheewit tee keuy mai mee kah
My life, that never used to have any value,
Gaw glub mee kwarm mhai
Has now returned to have meaning
Cheewit tee yeun keun mai
My life, which has risen anew,
Dai duay meu kong ter
Came about by your own hands
------------------------------
Refrain 2
Chun rooh chun seung chun oon-jai
I know you are there for me and I feel warm deep in my heart
Mee ter prakong pong gun
To have you look over and protect me
Ter tum hai duay jai took yarng
You do everything with your heart
Mai wung hai tob tan hai ter
Without expecting any return
Chun rooh chun seung chun huang yai
I know you are there for me and I worry deep in my heart
Ja mee arai mah tod tan
That I will have nothing to give in return
Mee kae piang kum tee bork
I have only these words to tell you ...
Wah ruk ter jing jing
That I love you very much
------------------------------
Back to Refrain 1
------------------------------
Cheewit tee keuy mai mee kah
My life, that never used to have any value,
Gaw glub mee kwarm mhai
Has now returned to have meaning
Cheewit tee yeun keun mai
My life, which has risen anew,
Dai duay meu kong ter
Came about by your own hands
