Cambodian Song Lyrics (requests welcome)

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.

Could you translate the old classic Bong srolanh te Oun by Sinn Sisamuth?



I remember telling my wife it sounded romantic, but then she told me it was basically a song about a one night stand.

Thanks!

You may have already done it but do you know the song "ចេញអោយឆ្ងាយ៉?
I am learning the words,and would be helpful to have a set of English lyrics, but I cant seem to find any online.
Thanks

Its something i enjoy doing anyway and do it a lot in my spare time for studying/practicing my Khmer, probably about 3-4 songs a week,
So if anyone has any song requests they would like, feel free to drop a message here or PM,

Ps. I cant guarantee the songs to be completely bulletproof, translating/interpreting Khmer>English is sometimes hard to be completely accurate, but they should be close enough

@CBEQ here it is for you... (yeah its more of a sad song than a romantic song tbh)

Sinn Sisamouth - Bong Srolanh Tae Oun

បងស្រលាញ់ៗតែអូន ស្រលាញ់ស្ងួនពេញក្នុងចិន្ដា
Bong Srolanh Srolanh Tae Oun, Srolanh Snguan Penh Knong Chenda
I love, love only you, love my beloved completely in my thoughts

គ្មានបែកបែរប្រែសាវា ឬចង់ដោះសារកថ្មីឡើយ
Kmean Baek Baer Brae Sava, Ruu Jong Daos Saa Rok Tmey Lery
Without becoming fickle, or wanting to find an excuse to look for someone new at all


ឲ្យបងដកចិត្តចេញពីស្នេហ៍ម្តេចបាន
Aoy Bong Dak Jet Jenh Pi Snei Mdech Ban
Let me remove these feelings of love, how can i?

I'm begging for your support

ក្នុងលោកនេះបងស្រលាញ់តែចរណៃ
Knong Laok Nis Bong Srolanh Tae Joronai
In this world i love only my beloved

ចិត្តស្មោះភក្តីតែស្រីមួយ
Jet Smoas Peakdey Tae Srey Mouy
Honest and loyal heart to only one girl

បងស្រលាញ់ៗតែអូន សូមស្រីស្ងួនកុំទុក្ខា
Bong Srolanh Srolanh Tae Oun, Som Srey Snguan Kom Tukkha
I love, love only you, please beloved don't suffer


ចិត្តសន្សំខំប្រឹងស្រលាញ់ សុខចិត្តចាញ់ៗព្រោះស្នេហា
Jet Sansom Khom Brung Srolanh, Sok Jet Janh Janh Proas Sneha
feelings store up trying hard to love, willing to lose because of love

ប្រឹងបម្រះមិនឈ្នះវាសនា សូមចិន្ដាមេត្តាប្រណី
Brung Bomreas Min Chhneas Veasna, Som Chenda Metta Broney
trying hard to struggle free but unable to change my destiny, please pity me


ឲ្យបងដកចិត្តចេញពីស្នេហ៍ម្តេចបាន

Thanks so much for this Jamie. It's awesome that you're able to understand Khmer. The lyrics are a trip. Not like any lyrics I'm used to. Something to think about
