I Will Make Myself Up And Wait For You

The grasshoppers are chirping,
The trees of the forest are lulling,
Lulling the minds of the farmers.
The sound of the bells
At the necks of the buffalos
Tells of the life back home on the farm.
The smell of the cheeks1 of the forest people
Is like the smell of angels' cheeks2.
Chatting is what we do
Because it simply is in our nature.
Whoever wants to be my lover
Must have this trait as well.
 
Has rice harvest already come?
Who will come and become my lover,
The lover of a farmer girl?
Don't you like fermented fish?
I dislike those adulterous drunkards,
Those flirting men.
If you want to meet me,
Come to my kitchen, where we can spend some time together,
I will prepare to reveal my feelings to you
And let you come in, I will make myself up3 and wait.

• refers to the Thai sniff kiss, called 'หอมแก้ม'('smell cheek'), which is a common way of greeting loved ones and obviously consists of smelling eachother's cheeks
• specially refers to young, female angels as 'สาว' means 'young woman' or 'maiden'
• 'ทาแป้ง' literally translates to 'to apply (talcum) powder' which many Thais (especially those from rural regions) do every evening before going to sleep because of its cooling effect (but some also do it for beauty)
