Title: Island of Three Tongues
(Andreas "Andi" Becker, ABSound Orchester & Choir & Soloists)

Salt on the wind, a whisper from Java
Junks and dhows carve the Andaman blue
Pearl-white shores where Malacca currents meet
And the island breathes its first true name

PHUKET RISES FROM THE TIDE!
Stone and silk in one heartbeat wide!
Mountains bow to ocean’s call—
This is where all journeys fall… and rise again!

ภูเก็ตเอย ฟังเสียงคลื่นซัดฝั่ง
เรือจีนแล่นผ่าน สายลมรำพัน
แร่ดีบุกหลอม ไฟคืนวาน
คนสามแผ่นดิน ยืนเคียงกัน

|[ Phuket, listen to the waves crashing against the shore.
A Chinese ship sails by, the wind whispers.
Smelted tin ore, fires of yesterday.
People from three lands stand together. ]|

海风翻过山脊
锡矿映着月光
闽粤的帆影
停泊在槟榔湾旁

|[ The sea breeze sweeps over the mountain ridges; 
the tin mine reflects the moonlight; 
sails from Fujian and Guangdong are moored beside Penang Bay. ]|

PHUKET RISES FROM THE TIDE! (ภูเก็ตลุกจากคลื่น!)
|[ Phuket rises from the waves! ]|
石与绸 编织千年光! (หยกและไหม ทอเป็นหนึ่งเดียว!)
|[ Stone and silk weave a thousand years of light! Jade and silk, woven as one! ]|
Mountains bow to ocean’s call—
This is where all journeys fall… and rise again!

Monsoons came. The earth cracked open.
But hands reached—not to flee, but to rebuild.
From tin dust, temples. From loss, lanterns.
One island. Three tongues. One soul.

PHUKET RISES FROM THE TIDE! (ภูเก็ตไม่เคยจม!)
|[ Phuket has never sunk! ]|
石破天惊 是她的回响! (เสียงระฆังดังถึงสวรรค์!)
|[ A thunderous revelation—that was her echo! The sound of the bell reaches heaven! ]|
Mountains bow to ocean’s call—
This is where all journeys fall… and rise again!

Phuket…
ภูเก็ต…
普吉…
