When the cat callers call
"Take ears to the field, take eyes to the farm"

But when a lover calls
Rush to him with all your beauty, charms, brains

He will protect you
And keep you close to his heart

Unless he has a harem
Full of women like you and is fooling you

Then do not forget
To take your eyes and ears with you

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

From Thai translator Kelwalin Dhanasarnsombut:
The idiom: เอาหูไปนา เอาตาไปไร่
Literal translation: "Take ears to the field, take eyes to the farm."
What it means: "It means ‘don't pay any attention.' Almost like ‘don't bring your eyes and ears with you.' If that were possible."
