lyrics

(a two-stroke engine kicks, kicks, catches)
Okay okay — full tank... half tank. Bpai!

Three hundred k's of red dirt road
My old bike whines just like a fan
Your mama's mangoes are my load
Green ones — I'm a careful man
(bpai! bpai!)

A buffalo blocks the whole lane
(he is not moving)
I show him your photo — he moves
(even he approves)

Faen jaa, I'm on my way
Faen jaa, I'm on my way
(nee! all the way!)
Broke down twice but not my heart
Faen jaa, I'm on my way
Faen jaa, I'm on my way

I pushed my bike two k's uphill
Bought gas poured from a whisky bottle
The auntie laughed: for love, no bill —
Then charged me double on the throttle
(aroi mai? — not now, auntie!)

Faen jaa, I'm on my way
Faen jaa, I'm on my way
(nee! all the way!)
Broke down twice but not my heart
Faen jaa, I'm on my way
Faen jaa, I'm on my way

I see the temple fair from here
(the lights, the lights)
Save me one dance, faen jaa
And one sweet mango bite

Faen jaa, I'm on my way
Faen jaa, I'm on my way
(nee! all the way!)
Broke down twice but not my heart
Faen jaa, I'm on my way
Faen jaa, I'm on my way

(the kickstand clicks)
(bpai... bpai... okay, walking now)
