- ยิ้ม yímให้ hâiกับ gàpฉัน chǎnหน่อย nàwy
Give me a little smile
ยิ้มyím = to smile. ให้hâi here = for, to (someone): ยิ้มให้ฉันyím hâi chǎn = smile at me; ให้กับhâi gàp is a fuller way to say it, common in songs and writing. หน่อยnàwy at the end softens a request, like 'a little' or 'please': ยิ้มหน่อยyím nàwy = smile a bit (what Thais say before taking your photo), ช่วยหน่อยchûay nàwy = give me a hand. - ได้โปรด dâi bpròotอย่า yàaโกรธ gròotฉัน chǎn
Please don't be angry with me
ได้โปรดdâi bpròot = please, the pleading kind of songs and dramas; in real life you'd soften the request with นะná instead: อย่าโกรธนะyàa gròot ná. อย่าyàa + verb = don't. โกรธgròot = to be angry, + a person = angry with them: โกรธฉันgròot chǎn = angry with me; ไม่โกรธmâi gròot = I'm not angry. - บางที baang-tiiฉัน chǎnก็ gâwรู้ rúuแต่ dtàeทน tonไม่ mâiไหว wǎi
Sometimes I know better, but I just can't take it
บางทีbaang-tii = sometimes (also 'maybe'); this part of the song lists three of his 'sometimes': he can't hold back, he knows but can't help it, he's too hot-headed. ทนton = to endure, to put up with, and ไหวwǎi = to manage, to cope: ทนไม่ไหวton mâi wǎi = can't take it any more, can't stand it. ไม่ไหวmâi wǎi on its own is everyday Thai for 'I can't (go on)': too tired, too full, too fed up; ไหวไหมwǎi mǎi = can you manage? - แต่ dtàeอาจจะ àat-jàขี้หึง kîi-hǔengเกินไป goen bpai
But maybe I'm too jealous
อาจจะàat-jà = might, maybe. ขี้หึงkîi-hǔeng = the jealous type, the title: หึงhǔeng = to be jealous in love, and ขี้kîi in front turns a feeling into a trait: ขี้อายkîi-aai = shy, ขี้เกียจkîi-gìat = lazy, ขี้ลืมkîi-luuem = forgetful. On its own ขี้kîi is a crude word for poo, so keep it inside these words. เกินไปgoen bpai = too (much): แพงเกินไปpaeng goen bpai = too expensive. - แต่ dtàeใจ jaiทั้ง tángใจ jaiมีแต่ mii dtàeเธอ toeคนเดียว kon-diaw
But my whole heart holds only you
ใจทั้งใจjai táng jai = all of my heart, the whole heart (ทั้งtáng = whole, all of: ทั้งวันtáng wan = all day). มีแต่mii dtàe = there is only, nothing but: มีแต่เธอmii dtàe toe = only you; ตู้เย็นมีแต่น้ำdtûu-yen mii dtàe náam = there's nothing but water in the fridge. คนเดียวkon-diaw = one person, alone: here 'you and nobody else'. - เธอ toeจะ jàรู้สึก rúu-sùekหึง hǔengและ láeห่วง hùangไหม mǎi
Would you feel jealous and worried?
He turns the question round: if someone else made his heart waver, would she be jealous too? จะjà … ไหมmǎi = would you…? will you…? รู้สึกrúu-sùek = to feel, + a feeling: รู้สึกดีrúu-sùek dii = to feel good. หึงhǔeng = jealous in love; jealous of what someone has is อิจฉาìt-chǎa. ห่วงhùang = to worry about someone you care for. The last word, ไหมmǎi, is held for over three seconds.

Grammar in this song
อย่าyàa + verb = don't, made gentler with นะná at the end: อย่าโกรธนะyàa gròot ná = please don't be angry. Verb + ไม่ไหวmâi wǎi = can't manage to, can't go on: ทนไม่ไหวton mâi wǎi (can't take it), กินไม่ไหวgin mâi wǎi (I can't eat any more). Adjective + เกินไปgoen bpai = too…: ขี้หึงเกินไปkîi-hǔeng goen bpai, ร้อนเกินไปráwn goen bpai (too hot).
ขี้kîi + feeling or habit = someone who is always like that: ขี้หึงkîi-hǔeng (the jealous type), ขี้อายkîi-aai (shy), ขี้เกียจkîi-gìat (lazy), ขี้บ่นkîi-bòn (always complaining). Most of them are a little critical, so they're used for teasing.
The culture behind it
Silly Fools are one of Thailand's leading rock bands, formed in the mid-1990s. "ขี้หึงkîi-hǔeng" comes from Juicy (2002), their fourth album, on More Music, the GMM Grammy label started by the singer Asanee Chotikul; the album sold over 500,000 copies. Toe, the band's singer at the time, wrote the words, and the music with the bassist, Rang. In 2005 Silly Fools won Favorite Artist Thailand at the MTV Asia Awards, and the song has lasted: it has spent 304 weeks on Spotify Thailand's weekly chart, with over 66 million streams counted there (kworb, October 2026).
The whole song is a ง้อngáw, the Thai word for trying to win back a partner who's upset with you: smiling, pleading, promising not to do it again. A little หึงhǔeng is often read as a sign of love, and teasing a partner with หึงเหรอhǔeng rǒe (are you jealous?) is a classic. ขี้หึงkîi-hǔeng, jealous all the time, is less charming, as the song admits.
