We don't smoke gancha in Issan
We don't take trips on PAD
We don't burn tires in our parliament
We like livin' right, and bein' free
We're proud to be kon Issan from Udon
A place where even chao na's can have a maulam
We still wave thong trairong at the amphur
And lao khao's still the biggest thrill of all
We don't make a party out of hating
We like holding hands and making koo
We don't let our lips flip and flap
Like the Padies in Bangkok do
And we're proud to be kon Issan from Udon
A place where even chao na's can have a maulam
We still wave thong trairong at the amphur
And lao khao's still the biggest thrill of all
Rong tao tae are still in style for manly footwear
Jat-dtu-kam-ra-ma-tep won't be seen
Foot-baun's still the roughest thing in the mooban
And the kids still wai the kru
We still wave thong trairong at the thetsaban
Nai Udonthani, Issan, Prathet Thai.
