Sorry, didn't find the cute Icelander Lady who sings to us about the volcano Eyjafjallajökull.
This one?
Your song is cool too but I think the Welsh are an obvious competitors to it for pronunciation from Iceland's neighbours
Ding Dong

Yahhhhh…that's her!
Back when the Icelandic vulcano
Eyjafjallajökull
interrupted all international air traffic 
️ and newsreaders across the world broke their tongues 
, she came up with this super-cute
'apology'
.
Btw. I still prefer to write
"vulcano"
(= Vulkan in D) though outdated.
"Volcano"
sounds for me like
"Wolken"
what means clouds.
…Welsh are an obvious competitors…
Prove it! -

Here's a potential competitor Tara
Eve Goodman - Dacw 'Nghariad [Welsh folk song]
[video]
I'll put up some Thai Luk Thung next:
Thai Isaan song Pornsak Luk thung
[video]
Kap khun krap!
Nice songs
, but for Karaoke the lyrics are required. 
As the funny Icelander has lyrics/subs in his
"Hardest Karaoke Song"
(my post above).
Your last line (praying) the translator identified as Hindi.
Under a Thai song?!
Kap khun krap (Hindi) –> Tasse Khun Krap (German)
I'll better not tell what that
COULD
mean…how it
sounds
in German.
Hmmm, now I've a kind of déjà-vu…fuzzy…cannot recall where I saw that
"Krap"
before. -

Welsh and Thai have their own alphabets for pronunciation Tara, I'm not sure that they have a translator which makes karaoke any easier for either (Plus each region of those countries have their own lilt on how to say certain things, makes for interesting conversations as you cross each country).
The praying symbol is the Thai way of showing respect and is called a
wai
. It is generally placing your hands in the traditional Christian prayer gesture and raising them to somewhere between the lower jaw and the beneath the nose depending upon who you are greeting or who is leaving you.
"
Krap
" is the masculine way of being polite in Thai and "
Kah
" is the feminine version.
Kap khun krap
is a man saying thanks very much to anyone else with the
wai
as a physical means of emphasising a visual means for all to see.
As for the German translation from Hindi…koto krap (Very sorry in Thai!).
Ding Dong

Aha…You didn't appear
"very sorry"
.
However, here's
your
Welsh song with lyrics.
NOW
we can sing along.

I can see how the cup of poop might be interpreted as as not being Sorry Tara but I have German friends who are in Thailand often and they know the difference well
Yep, the Chinese also had much fun with me (singing).
I'd rather not know what I was
really
saying/singing.
And no…you won't provoke me with your missing punctuation marks now. -

Well thankfully the Chinese are very kind about mispronunciation or how their own words can sound like they mean something different in other languages.
Their words for "This" and "That" do not settle well into American English
Singing is always fun, I wouldn't worry about it. Mae sure you dance while you do it though as it adds so much more

Welsh is grand Loki but I'm better at singing karaoke in Malay than I am in Welsh
And you don't get to drink alcohol in Malay karaokes
Speaking of Wales, have you seen The Accident (2019)?
Odd drama but definitely Welsh
