What you are

You may not be my parents's first choice
You may be the one that causes noise

You may not know why, at new year, we splash
You may not know enough of our culture clash

You may not like our rotten fish called 'Padek'
You may not know of my birthplace, Thakhek.

But I know you have an opened mind
Like a gem, you are so hard to find

Like many paths, there will be a turn
And new tradition you're willing to learn

It's very cute and exciting to me
As you try to say 'sa-bai-dee'

I know we have many differences
and we both have our own stances

But it is not a big mystery
Why we make good chemistry

And  my feelings for you are  true
Because of everything about YOU.
