สาวสวนแตง - สุรพล สมบัติเจริญ

"My Watermelon Farm Girl - Suraphol Sombatcharoen"

A Thai country music song from the "king" and founder of the genre, with Thai subtitling and a loose translation into English.

The title is ambiguous. It loosely means "A Girl from X" where X is literally "Watermelon Farm". But there's a section of Supanburi province in Thailand that's called Watermelon Farm, so the song might not refer to a farm at all, but instead just that particular location. Also, the word I've translated as "watermelon" can also mean "cucumber", but on its own the Thai word แตง usually refers to watermelons.

why did find this vid?! lol

btw, Specifically watermelon in Thai is "Thang Mo".

"Thang" just means melons in general.

I made the video with the shitty Windows Movie Maker software, the song is from a CD I bought when I lived in Bangkok.

I'm aware that watermelon is "tang mo." In the song, though, he uses the word "tang" by itself. I asked some Thais which "tang" he was talking about -- tang mo or tang gwa -- and no one knew. In the end I went with "watermelon" over "cucumber" because the word Tang on its own is a popular girl's name, and the girls assume they're named after watermelons, if you ask.

Is he a Laotian?

[SheepGoats00]

@rajamysay He's Thai. Many Thai country music songs and points of reference come out of Isaan, the NE region of Thailand, which borders Laos. The Isaan dialect has many Lao sounding words so it's not unexpected to hear what you might at first think is the Lao language when you're listening to a Thai country music song

(I think I'm saying the same thing that teppasit9 is, actually.)
