ราชาใต้สายน้ำ

[Verse 1] Beneath the deep river, untouched by moonlight, A silent palace has hidden for ages. The people on the shore call me Phaya Nak, They bow, they pray… then they leave. A hundred years pass, a thousand years fade, People come and go like the flowing river. Only I remain, Guarding the silence beneath these same waters. [Chorus] I am the king of the river, Ruler of a palace beneath the waters. I have jewels, I have gold, I have power, But no one… to remain by my side. Above the water, people still laugh, They love, they part, they meet again. While I can only listen to the sounds of their world From beneath the river… alone. [Verse 2] At night, when moonlight touches the water, I watch its glow from far below. And wonder what it must be like To have someone beside you… keeping you warm. [Bridge] The river knows that I am here. The wind knows I am still awake. But the river cannot speak to me, And the wind… never stays until morning. [Final Chorus] I am the king of the river, My name spoken by mortals with reverence. Yet no one has ever heard The heart of the Phaya Nak. If one night you walk beside the river And hear the water sighing softly, Do not be afraid… there is nothing there. Only the king beneath the river, Who has been lonely… for a thousand years. [Outro] The river keeps flowing. The world keeps turning. And I… Remain where I have always been.
