This week is the week of Loy Krathong day, this year it falls on Nov 17th, 2013. (If you are not sure what this festival is, click here to learn more about it) I have been hearing the Loy Krathong song everywhere I go and also in the local TV. It is kind of catchy so I have this song playing in my head over and over. In case you would like to sing along, here are the lyrics.
วันเพ็ญเดือนสิบสอง น้ำนองเต็มตลิ่ง
Wan-pen duean sìp-sŏng , náam nong dtem dtà-lìng
The full-moon day (of) the twelfth month, as water fills to the banks
เราทั้งหลายชายหญิง สนุกกันจริง วันลอยกระทง
Rao tang-lăai chaai yĭng sà-nuk gan jing wan loi grà-tong
We all both men and women are having fun in Loi Krathong day
ลอย ลอยกระทง ลอย ลอยกระทง
loi loi grà-tong, loi loi grà-tong
float float the Krathongs, float float the Krathongs
ลอยกระทงกันแล้ว ขอเชิญน้องแก้วออกมารำวง
loi grà-tong gan láew,kŏr chern nóng gâew òrk maa ram-wong
We have already floated the Krathong already, I would like to ask you (beloved younger lady) to come out and dance (Thai folk dance)
รำวงวันลอยกระทง รำวงวันลอยกระทง
ram-wong wan loi grà-tong, ram-wong wan loi grà-tong
dance in the Loi Krathong day, dance in the Loi Krathong day
บุญจะส่งให้เราสุขใจ บุญจะส่งให้เราสุขใจ
bun jà sòng hâi rao sùk-jai
making merit will give us happiness
The Loy Krathong song in English
There is also English version which has slighly different lyrics to the Thai Loi Krathong song.
Hope you enjoy singing and dancing in this beautiful celebration:)
Really best 🙂

Hello
hi every one im so happy to sing the song loi karthong
This song is cool, but the lyrics is hard to memorize, and also those complicated alphabets. Because we need to memorize the song, and the lyrics here is different from the copy form our teacher. So, please add the version of the lyrics of the song with the non-complicated basic a-z alphabet. I greatly appreciate your response.
Thank you for your comment. I am not sure how you would like the song lyrics to be shown. You meant only the Thai language and the English translation?
Nice! I am lookrung so I don’t really know the words
I’m so in love with the melody of this song. It makes me feel so happy and peaceful. Happy Loi Krathong, kruu Mod and everybody! 😀
Used to sing this song as a child in Thailand. Thankyou.
