This song has been my jam lately. The title means like "the lady in bong's dream is who?". The video is a little sad.
ពាក្យតែប៉ុន្មានម៉ាត់សោះ
Just a few words
ឲ្យអារម្មណ៍ខ្ញុំប្រែ
So my feeling changes
ឈឺដែរទេរាប់គ្នាជាមិត្ត
It hurts because we only know each other as friends
សម្តីបងស្រាលៗ តែសង្កត់ធ្ងន់លើចិត្ត
The words are light and not serious but are heavy on my heart
ទោះពាក្យពិតតែចាក់បេះដូង
Although they are true words they pierce my words
ខំចិញ្ចឹមចិត្តស្រឡាញ់ក្នុងមួយជីវិតអូន
I try hard to fan the romantic flames
ដើម្បីបងលះបង់គ្រប់យ៉ាង
So bong gives up everything (to be with me)
តែទង្វើល្អៗ បងបែររុញទៅម្ខាង
But every good deed -- instead, bong goes to the other side
បងអះអាងមិនអាចលាយឡំនឹងអារម្មណ៍ស្នេហ៍
Bong says that he can't mix (our relationship) with love
នារីក្នុងសុបិនបងគេជាអ្នកណា?
The lady in bong's dream who is she?
ប្រាប់បានទេហេតុអ្វីស្នេហ៍គេ?
Can you tell me why you love her?
ខ្ញុំចង់រៀនតាម ចង់ធ្វើជាគេ
I want to learn how to be like her, become her
អាចជំនួសគេបានអត់?
Can I replace her or not?
ពេលខ្លះក៏ដឹងខ្លួនថាមិនអាចទៅរួច
Sometimes also I realize I cannot do it
តែមិនព្រមឈប់ប្រឹងទាល់តែហត់
But I won't stop until I am exhausted
ពេលនេះឈឺចាប់បានសម្រេចហើយ
Now I am very hurt
សមមុខមនុស្សល្ងង់...
A stupid girl like me deserves it
ពាក្យតែប៉ុន្មានម៉ាត់សោះ
Just a few words
ឲ្យអារម្មណ៍ខ្ញុំប្រែ
So my feeling changes
ឈឺដែរទេរាប់គ្នាជាមិត្ត
It hurts because we only know each other as friends
សម្តីបងស្រាលៗ តែសង្កត់ធ្ងន់លើចិត្ត

nice, thanks for taking the time and contributing heremerchantsmutual wrote:This song has been my jam lately. The title means like "the lady in bong's dream is who?". The video is a little sad.
the girl who sings that song won the Cambodian Idol 2 last year,
the boy in the video is the winner of Cambodian Idol 1
this was by far my favourite singer from Cambodian Idol 2 last year, her voice was incredible, didnt make it past the 2nd round though :O
i wrote the lyrics for you to read..
រលកដួងចិត្ត ជីវិតស្នេហា
ប្រាប់ថាជាតិនេះចំបែង
រស់នៅកំព្រា រងាម្នាក់ឯង
សង្រេងព្រោះគ្តស្នេហ៍ស្នង
ស្នេហ៍អើយសូមបងមេត្តា
សូមបងមេតា្ត
ឆ្លើយមក ឆ្លើយមកស្នេហា
អោយអូនដឹងផង
អូននឹក នឹកដល់ប្រុសថ្លៃ
គ្មានថ្ងៃកន្លង
នេះម្តងធ្វើម្តេចនឹងបាន
ប្រាណមកថ្នមបី
រលកចិន្តា ស្នេហាកវី
លុះក្ស័យស្រីនៅតែចាំ
Personally i prefer watching the Voice over Cambodia Idol, more fun to watch,
you should get into the new Voice Kids Cambodia if you like your music...
this kid was a blast the other week
loved this girl at the weekend, love this song
this girl was great too

Jamie: my Khmer friend sent me the ពេជ្រ ថៃ video recently. One of the things I noticed watching the prologue and the interview after he stuns the crowd and that he is actually 12 years old and says that he is a middle school student. But when he stands next to Sokun Nisa and the other famous singer who holds him, you can see he is a very short child, seemingly no more than 5-6 if I had to guess. I hope he doesn't have some issue like malnutrition.
The Khmer comments are fawning. I wonder why they like him so much.

Are you talking about the kid singing the sinn sisamouth song? If so, sinn sisamouth + 12 year old + reality tv = fawning.

I had never heard of this Khmer rapper, but this is great stuff. It is like Nine Inch Nails mixed with K Pop.
On an unrelated note, where can you catch concerts in Cambodia? When I visited, I asked around and was willing to pay even $100 for some prime Carabao concert seats but nobody knew anything.

The twelve year old who studies in grade 7?

Not really.Miguelito wrote:I spend zero time around kids here, but seeing as a lot of 20 year olds looks 15, 30 year olds look 20, etc, it only makes sense that a 12 year old may look a lot younger, no?
For foreigners trying to guess ages then maybe but my staff couldn't believe that he was 12. They said 'I think maybe he lie'.
I don't think he is lying and I don't think he is a midget, just is unusually young looking.

easy enough, most concerts get advertised on facebook, tv, posters and word of mouth,merchantsmutual wrote:I had never heard of this Khmer rapper, but this is great stuff. It is like Nine Inch Nails mixed with K Pop.

theres concerts on every weekend at somewhere in the country and often have them mid week too,
best way for you to know if a concert is coming up is by checking facebook, make sure you 'like' all the main drink brands as they usually advertise their concerts if they have a big one coming up, mainly Angkor, Ganzberg, Cambodia, Anchor, Tuborg, Carabao, Leo etc. any day there is a holiday or special occasion they will be numerous concerts
this was the last concert i went to, it had G-Davith, Preap Sovath, Aok Sokunkanha and Khemerak Sereymon performing as the main singers
G-Davith (the rapper) is fun live...
also follow your favourite singers on facebook, as they often post when they might be performing at a concert or gig at a bar,
i went to see my favourite singer Aok Sokunkanha at a small intimate gig in Phnom Penh earlier this year,
got to meet her after the gig too (and yes, i shamelessly got a picture with her haha)

Jamie. Good answer, thanks.
I sometimes wonder how much the Khmer stars make. Can't be all that much.

yeah it crosses my mind alsomerchantsmutual wrote:Jamie. Good answer, thanks.

i think they earn a pretty penny though, mainly through all the sponsorships and the amount of work they actually do
the top superstars perform at concerts every week, TV appearances etc
but just going back to the concerts,
they (the beer company?) can afford to pay for the whole concert (theyre always free so they dont get money from ticket sales)
buying beers at the concert gets you raffle tickets to where you can win numerous prizes at the end of the concert
including brand new motorbikes etc
im sure the main superstars, the ones that are the faces that are going to bring the crowds in,
im sure they get looked after,
but yeah even tonight i was even thinking about how much (or not so much) they might be earning when i was watching this weeks the voice kids cambodia

This charming song reminds me why I started learning Khmer. It is about a husband going to dig around for the country crabs so his wife can prepare samlaw (a sort of spicy stew/soup whatever . . .
I honestly have heard so many people call so many soup like things samlaw that I am not sure):
ថ្ងៃរះ រះទទឹងផ្លូវ
the sun rises, rises over the road
បងលីចបទៅ ទៅស្រែជីកក្ដាម
bong carries the hoe, goes to the field to dig for crabs
អូនអើយអូនកុំទៅតាម
Oun sweetie don't follow along
នែ! បងទៅជីកក្ដាមអោយអូនឯងស្ល
Here! Bong will go dig the crabs so oun can make the stew
ក្ដាមស្រែវាពិតជាឆ្ងាញ់
The country crab is really tasty
ព្រោះសម្បូរខ្លាញ់ ណាស្រស់បវរ
Because its skin is oily, the fresh one is great
បងជីកអោយច្រើនមក
Bong dig so can give oun many
នែ! អូនចាត់ចែងស្លជូនបងពិសា
Here! Oun will prepare samlaw for bong to taste
បងទៅជីកជិតនេះទេ
Bong will go dig near here
សូមកែវមាសស្នេហ៍ កុំដើរទៅណា
To give you one cup, sweetheart. Don't walk anywhere
បងទៅឆាប់ទេជ៉វ៉ា
I will go quickly my life (like sweetheart)
អោយតែកែវពុំងាអាំងស្លទាន់ព្រឹក
Just so that you can make the stew while it's morning
ឆាប់មកណាប្ដីសម្លាញ់
Go quickly my dear husband
អូនធ្វើអោយឆ្ងាញ់ មានគោកមានទឹក
I will make tasty, the stew will have dry and have wet (like it will have the soup portion and also meat, vegetables, et al)
យើងគ្របទុកត្រៀមបម្រុង
All of us will prepare
ក្លែមក្ដាមបាយព្រឹកអោយឆ្ងាញ់មាត់ម្ដង
A snack of country crab in the morning is so tasty
