(HD 720p) Theme From "The Legend of Suriyothai" (Parts 1 & 2 Combined)

The Legend of Suriyothai

This song titled "Now and Forever" is the theme song from the Thai hit movie "Suriyothai". The movie was directed by a prince and financed by Queen Sirikit of Thailand.

The movie is a sprawling Thai epic in the tradition of Hollywood's biblical extravaganzas of the 1950s. A former film student-turned-prince of Thailand, director and co-writer Chatrichalerm Yukol recruited film-school classmate Francis Ford Coppola to shape this ambitious production (originally over three hours long) into a 142-minute "Reader's Digest" version for an international audience.

There's more pomp, circumstance, and pageantry in this historical saga than you'd find in a half-dozen lesser films, with bloody battles, assassinations, beheadings, parades of elephants, and jaw-dropping sets and costumes galore, and the attention to physical detail is astonishing. It's also a narrative mess, spanning two decades in the 16th-century story of Suriyothai, princess of Ayuthaya (now Thailand), where two kingdoms are quarreling while war with Burma (to the north) is about to erupt. Palace intrigue, lavish ritual, and traitorous deception abound, unfolding at a deliberate pace that will either test your patience or command your attention. As history lessons go, it's occasionally slow but certainly never boring. --Jeff Shannon

NOW AND FOREVER
In a time, when we let our fears define us
In a place, when we fell the ties that bind us
In this time, you lead us through
Now as then, when we face the final choices
You cry out, for the ones who have no voices
In this time, we will find you

* The fire which burned deep in your eyes
The truth you never compromised
You made the perfect sacrifice
To give us freedom, to give us life
Out of a perfect love

** Now and forever, help us stand for what is right
Now and forever, make us strong enough to fight
When the mountain is high, when the river is dry
We are one, you and I
Now and forever, Suriyothai

In a dream, where the darkest force is broken
In a prayer, where the softtest words are spoken
In all of this, you lead us through
In this word, mother of our nation
You are the sun, the moon, the sky, the heavens
In all of this, we will find you

[Repeat * , **]

ไม่ว่าคราใด เมื่อยามมีทุกข์ใจแสนสาหัส

ไม่ว่าคราใด ที่ต้องทนและท้อหมดเรี่ยวแรง

เมื่อยามนั้นฉัน อยู่ได้เพราะเธอ

ไม่ว่าคราใด เมื่อสิ้นทางมืดมัวทุกหนแห่ง

ไม่ว่าคราใด ที่สิ้นแรงท้อแท้ไม่คิดอยู่

เมื่อยามนั้นฉัน อยู่ได้เพราะเธอ

I call foul. You lot are carefully editing out the scenes wherein the warring princes hire European mercenaries for their expertise in musketry and cannon.
