Som tum (Papaya Spicy Salad) - English Version

V3.5

(Verse 1) Gather 'round the table, it's time to have some fun, We're making Som Tum, under the bright sun. Grab your green papaya, and shred it nice and thin, Mix in some flavors, let the magic begin. (Chorus) Som Tum, Som Tum, spicy and sweet, Crunchy and tangy, it's the perfect treat. Lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and spice, Toss it all together, oh it tastes so nice. (Verse 2) Pound garlic and chilies in a mortar tight, Add in the papaya, everything feels right. Throw in some tomatoes, long beans so green, Carrots and peanuts, it's a salad dream. (Chorus) Som Tum, Som Tum, spicy and sweet, Crunchy and tangy, it's the perfect treat. Lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and spice, Toss it all together, oh it tastes so nice. (Bridge) Don't forget the shrimp, dried and small, Or leave it out, if you don’t like it at all. Mix it up with love, from the start to end, Som Tum's the dish that we recommend. (Chorus) Som Tum, Som Tum, spicy and sweet, Crunchy and tangy, it's the perfect treat. Lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and spice, Toss it all together, oh it tastes so nice. (Outro) Now you're ready, to make Som Tum on your own, A Thai favorite, from a small seed it's grown. Serve it up fresh, with a smile on your face, Som Tum is a dish, that’s always in its place.
