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.

This would be the English version , is it not ?

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Good on you Jamie, I love the old music as well. You seem to have more appreciation for this stuff than most Khmers. You and i have to catch up sometime and talk music.

Australia, but often in Cambodia. I could take you down to Kandal Province and show you where Sin Sisamouth is buried in a mass grave, well within a few hundred metres. These things are important to me, not to Khmers unfortunately. The locals have no idea. We should do a road trip together if you have time.
The Khmers seem to have no interest in their own history or anyone elses. Strange fruit Jamie.
