Crush
Palmy feat. Erlend Øye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He remembers feeling something between them walking close.
He wondered, should he make a move but the chance would never come.
When she left and he thought it was all until one day.
He found out she had had a crush on him but dare not to say.
I guess, I should have tried to make her mine.
But all that I could do was make her smile.
I guess that there were things I did not see.
For not believing this happening to me.
She would call him talk for hour never say a word. (never say a word)
He could never quite find out just what he felt for her.
I guess he thought until they met again their love could wait.
But when he found out he had a crush on her, it was too late.
I guess, I should have tried to make her mine.
But all that I could do was make her smile.




I guess I should have known how this would end.
And now, I'm stuck with yet another friend.

Palmy:
He remembers feeling something between them walking close
He wondered should he make a move but the chance would never come
When she left and he thought it was all until one day
He found out she had had a crush on him but dare not to say

เขานึกถึงความรู้สึกบางอย่างที่เกิดขึ้นบนระยะห่างของเธอกับเขา
เขาครุ่นคิดว่าเขาควรจะทำอะไรสักอย่างหรือไม่, แต่โอกาสก็ไม่มาสักที ว้า
เมื่อเธอจากไป, เขาคิดว่ามันจบสิ้นแล้ว
จนวันหนึ่งเขามารู้ว่าเธอแอบชอบเขา แต่ไม่กล้าบอก

Erlend:
I guess I should have tried to make her mine
But all that I could do was make her smile
I guess that there were things I did not see
For not believing this happening to me

ผมคิดว่า, ผมควรจะพยายามทำให้เธอเป็นของผม
แต่ทั้งหมดมันก็แค่ทำให้เธอยิ้ม
ผมคิดว่ามันมีหลายสิ่งที่ผมไม่เห็น
เพื่อหลอกตัวเองว่าสิ่งนี้เกิดขึ้นกับผม

Palmy:
She would call him talk for hour never say a word
He could never quite find out just what he felt for her
I guess he thought until they met again their love could wait
But when he found out he had a crush on her it was too late

เธอโทรคุยกับเขาเป็นชั่วโมงแต่ไม่เอ่ยอะไรสักคำ
เขาอาจไม่เคยรู้ว่าเขารู้สึกกับเธอแบบไหน
ฉันเดาว่าเขาคิดว่าจะรอจนกว่าจะพบเจอเธออีกครั้ง, ความรักของพวกเขารอได้
แต่เมื่อเขารู้ตัวว่าเขาเริ่มหลงรักเธอเบาเบามันก็สายเกินไปแล้ว

Both:
I guess, I should have tried to make her mine
But all that I could do was make her smile
I guess I should have known how this would end
And now I'm stuck with yet another friend

ฉันว่าฉันควรน่าจะพยายามทำให้เธอเป็นของฉัน
แต่ทั้งหมดมันก็แค่ทำให้เธอขำๆ
ฉันน่าจะรู้สักนิดว่าเรื่องนี้มันจะลงจบยังไง
ตอนนี้, ฉันหลงรักคนที่ยังเป็นเพื่อน

ชอบเพลงนี้ ฟังแล้ว รู้สึก ถึงความเป็นธรรมชาติ เสียงเพลง มันให้บรรยากาศมากๆ และ Palmy เป็น ศิลปินที่คนไทยทุกคนคงจะรู้จักดีว่า ผู้หญิงคนนี้ ทำอะไร ทำแบบ จริงใจ เหมือนกับเวลาที่ขึ้นร้องเพลง ทุ่มเทเต็มที่ ศิลปินดีๆแบบนี้ ควรจะอยู่คู่กับสังคมไทย ไป ตลอด ปาล์มมี่ เป็นตัวอย่างที่ดี ให้กับเยาวชนไทย ควรทำเยี่ยงอย่าง เป็นกำลังใจ ให้กับ ปาล์มมี่ ครับ สู้ ต่อไป
