Cambodian Songs/Lyrics

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

Not many people would understand this. Why there is no English translation Jamie.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

That's a good one that I often hear in KTVs, at this one small family run karaoke I used to go to regularly since my friend is mates with the owner's sons, it's a poorly kept secret that their 20ish yo daughter's dowry is 5k$, so a few guys who are interested often come by and sing this song (among others). I wonder if they got the sum from the song in the first place. I'll have to suss it out when I return to Shv. BTW, she's a pretty nice girl, maybe introductions are in order (if she hasn't been married off yet!), you're practically fluent now right?? :beer:
