Go. Bunchawi! Quickly

Bunchawi watch out

Junsen Junser

Keep going! Keep going

Lafa!

Bunchawi, hurry! Go quick!

No

No

Lamphun

Do you remember me

How could I forget

You're Lumpao

the little Chiangsaen tramp

who betrayed her own home

You really love your home, don't you

Well, look at it now

Today, the land you love so much

has been turned to ash

The city

is ours.

The city is all mine

Gumpawa

Guchin

Guchin

Bunchawi Boonchawe

The cities of Chiangsair and Dtai

have been destroyed

Many perished in the fire

The leaders have been put to death

This was all made possible by just

300 pieces of gold and a red carpet

The Thais brought shame upon us four years ago

As Han, we can never forget that

the Thais are divided once again

We should move our armies in to gain revenge

And I would like to volunteer

to lead the Han forces against the Thais

Emperor Qin respects your abilities

But Litongjia,

since history began

the Han nation has never been led into war

by someone who is maimed

the Han nation has never been led into war

by someone who is maimed

Wait until we have captured the Thai region

Then you shall have any position you desire

Then who does Lord Soonpo think

should lead the Han against the Thai

General Tiewliang was in charge of the

Thai region, and he understands the people.

I, Emperor Qin ruler over al Thai lands

command you to bring me the tattoo

from Gumpawa's breast

I want it placed at my feet on Han earth

Tomorrow we will march the Ler army

to the Lad Kwan plains

The night is bitterly cold

You should get some rest. Gumpawa

Let me stay

and admire the scenery for a short while

I shall see only blood and death

Thai people say that

. you fear no one

I too have faith

that you can be victorious

Han soldiers are weak

The Thai soldiers are strong

but they will also die

What is this grudge

that the Han hold against us.

Gumpawa

that we must pay for it with our land

Tiewliang used to be in charge her

He knows us well

That's what scares me

Tiewliang once respected

our people and our land

Bunchawi

you must lead the people out of the city

But I

Thai soldiers may sacrifice their lives

at the Lad Kwan plains

But I will never sacrifice the future

of the Thai race

You must raise a future generation

Don't let the Thai blood line

vanish from the earth.

Gumpawa

order your soldiers to retreat

We will take care

of the land and the people

There is no need for more blood shed

I cannot let you rule our land

Go back to your army and prepare for battle

This battle will be for our land

a final stand

Battle formation

Battle formation

Charge

Charge!

Retreat. Gumpawa

- The Thai people will go nowhere

- Enough. Gumpawa

I said no

Don't

Gumpawa

Gumpawa

Loojor! Loojor

'Loojor! Loojor

Gumpawa

Protect Gumpawa

Protect Gumpawa

Loojor

Gumpawa

Gumpawa

don't leave me like Lamphun did

Don't go away

Guchin

Don't cry

You've been stubborn

ever since you were a child

Gumpawa

Don't you leave me as well

It's me, Siboon, your brother.

Siboon, my brother.

Always remember

Thai people must find freedom

The Thai race must live on

There is land in the south

Keep going till you reach the sea

The land is still unoccupied

Take the survivor

and flee there

Gumpawa

You may weep

that the Thai nation could not unite

But you must never give up

Even though the journey will be hard

For there

you can build a future

- Go

- No

I won't leave you. Gumpawa

All of you! Go

I shall stay

I shall live on in spirit

I will remind future generations

that this was once our home

But because we couldn't stick together,

we had to flee the land.

Gumpawa, brother.

Gumpawa

Gumpawa! Gumpawa

Gumpawa

Siboon. Guchin

take Bunchawi away

I won't go

Go

Siboon

Go

Take Bunchawi away

Go

I won't go

Go

Go now

Take care of Bunchawi! Go

You always were

more fortunate than me. Gumpawa

In life

you followed your own heart's desire

whereas I only follow

the bidding of others

Even in your last moments

you met death

on your own terms

as a sacrifice for your people

and for your land.

Your reputation in life

however great

is no match for your greatness in death

Siboon was right

Mere weapons

could never kill the Thai spirit

Let me see the skin

from the breast of the Thai warrior

known as Gumpawa

Keep going till you reach the sea

There is land there still unoccupied

Take the survivors

and flee there

Even though the journey will be hard

There

you can build a future

Thai people must find freedom

The Thai race must live on

Do not be disheartened

that the Thai nation could not unite

I shall be here

I shall live on in spirit

I will remind future generations

that this was once our home

But because we couldn't stick together

we had to flee the land

THIS STORY IS A REMINDER TO US ALL

OF THE IMPORTANCE

OF HARMONY AND TOGETHERNESS

DEDICATED TO THE THAI PEOPLE

IN THE HOPE THAT ALL DIFFERENCES

CAN BE RESOLVED THROUGH HARMONY
