và một nông dân. 1 tái tạo một số của nó ở đây vì nó bắt rực rỡ như thế nào khoảng cách giữa toàn cầu hóa và phi toàn cầu hóa trong một xã hội, nếu không được canh tác, có thể mở rộng đến một điểm mà những người nói cùng một ngôn ngữ không thể hiểu nhau nữa, hãy để một mình cảm thấy một trái phiếu thông thường. | and a farmer. 1 reproduce some of it here because it captures brilliantly how the gap between the globalized and the non-globalize in a society if untended can widen to a point where people who speak the same language can t understand each other anymore let alone feel a common bond. Here is a rough translation The song begins with the refrain Our baht is floating now our baht is floating now. How long it will float will depend on the situation. Please watch the situation properly. Banker . Look here everybody today our baht is already floating. Farmer Yesterday a two-year-old kid fell into the river but did not drown. Banker How come What prevented him from drowning Farmer Yes the kid fell into the water and the people saw him bobbing up and down and they ran down to the river and found that he was clutching a floating baht. Banker Don t you understand I m talking about our currency floating. Farmer Well if not for the floating baht the kid would have drowned. Banker I am talking about the floating currency stupid. Farmer Well why are you telling us What s so important about that Banker I m telling you because you should care about it. I am telling you because I was afraid you didn t know. Farmer Why do we have to burden our minds with all these things Banker These are philosophical thoughts for you to ponder. Farmer Why do I want to go and think about this We are not philosophers. Banker You re a jackass. Farmer Actually if I hadn t been a jackass I would have been the head of a finance house. Most of Thailand s finance houses went bankrupt when the baht collapsed. Refrain Our baht is floating now. When the baht floats the price of every commodity floats up too. Banker in a lecturing voice When the baht floats commodity prices float to that level. And to whatever level the baht floats the price of goods also moves to that place within a day or two. Everything floats up nothing floats down. That s how things work. Farmer So why are you complaining and moaning .
