Google translation of Add Carabao’s intro under the YouTube: “As love stands the test of time, it transcends mere fleeting excitement; instead, it becomes a profound sense of ‘steadfastness’ and ‘genuine goodwill’—qualities deeply rooted within the heart. At times… a million words may hold far less significance than a single, authentic feeling. This song serves as a heartfelt expression from a man who has weathered the storms of life over many long years. Close your eyes, open your heart, and listen… perhaps this voice will reach deep into your own heart.”

My commentary: Another perfect song from Add Carabao. It sounds heartfelt. Check out another heartfelt Add Carabao song with a similar title, อยากได้ยิน Yaak Daiyin (Want to Hear).

I never spoke of it—a truth I carelessly overlooked and forgot.
I never went around telling anyone just how wonderful it is to be near you.
How many months and years have passed? Through how many cycles of heat, cold, and rain?
You had to force yourself to endure—to put up with the excuses and reasons I offered in explanation.

Along the road of music, I have sung countless melodies.
But this song comes straight from my heart—woven from the rhythm of our shared life.
I want you to know; I want to reveal what has been happening.
To be without you feels like losing my very breath; from this moment on, let me be your shadow.

Oh, my shadow—how foolish and lacking in attentiveness I have been!
How long have you waited, longing for the warmth of my affection?
I made a grave mistake, yet you—you still cared for me.

How many months and years have passed? Through how many cycles of heat, cold, and rain?
You had to force yourself to endure—to put up with the excuses and reasons I offered in explanation.
I want you to know; I want to bare my soul.
I may have failed to express it through my actions…
But deep within my heart… I want you to hear it.
