The Life That I Have
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours

The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.

A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.

You have put this in the Crossword section. I would suggest you try Art and Literature or even Chatterbank where we probably have some people that can speak the Thai language.

I wish you luck.

All the online translation services . google translate, babblefish etc do Englist to Thai

i read that poem at my wedding, and both of my children's funerals. The simple beauty and meter will probably be ruined by translating it, imho, so don't get upset if you can't

LoftyLottie

EDDIE, have you ever witnessed the total nonsense that those sites come forth with with translations. 20market's aged father could end up sending something really unsuitable to his SIL. ;o)

Carakeel

I have to agree with Lottie here! The translation sites are atrocious!! I used to be a simultaneous translator and when I put texts into the languages I used to work with, they invariably come up with total rubbish!! Seeing as the Thai people can be very offended by some things, it might be best to find an English speaking Thai (perhaps at a local Thai restaurant?) than use one of these online translation services. Best of luck!

I agree that for something like poetry even an accurate software translation(if such a thing is possible) would likely miss the point. If this is important I would look round for a professional job.
Anything in Yellow Pages in your area under Translators?

Did this with Google Translator - hope its accurate! It's one of my favourite poems.
