This song is called "Kom Nirk Oun Eiy", by Ros Sereysothea. I consider it to be the jewel in the crown of the Khmer music queen.

In the description of the video you find a partial (and rather doubtful) English translation. I wonder if any of you happen to know a complete translation, or want to make an attempt. I myself don't know any Khmer: even finding the original lyrics in Khmer script would be a feat.
Thanks in advance,
Aung
Here translated it for you,
I've wrote the Khmer lyrics/Transliteration/English translation...
Ros Sereysothea - Kom Nuk Oun Ey
គន់មើលមេឃ មេឃអើយខ្ពស់ឆ្ងាយ
Kon Merl Mech, Mech Ery Khpoas Chhngay
I look up at the sky, Ohh the sky so high and distant,
គន់មើលទៅផ្កាយ ផ្កាយអើយនៅឆ្ងាយអនេក
Kon Merl Tov Phkay, Phkay Ery Nov Chhngay Onaek
I look up at the stars, Ohh the stars still distant and so many.
ទឹករលកបក់បោកផ្លេកៗ
Dtuk Rolok Bok Boak Phlek Phlek
The wind blows hard making the water ripple and shimmer,
នឹកឡើងសង្វេគៗស្ទើរបែកឱរ៉ា
Nuk Lerng Songvaek Songvaek, Ster Baek Aora
I increasingly miss and worry, to the point my chest almost bursts,
ស្រណោះដៃថ្លៃធ្លប់ស្រវា
Sronaoh Dai Thlai Tloap Srova
I miss the hand my dearest used to grab,
តែអនិច្ចាស្នេហាយើងរលាយហើយ
Tae Onicha Sneha Yerng Roleay Hery
But its a pity our love has already faded away.
អូនឃ្លាតឆ្ងាយនៅស្ដាយរូបថ្លៃ
Oun Khleat Chhngay Nov Sday Rub Thlai
I leave far away and still regret it dearly,
កុំនឹកអូនអី ណាថ្លៃៗមាសអូនអើយ
Kom Nuk Oun Ey, Na Thlai Thlai Meas Oun Ery
Dont miss me, Ohh where is my dearest beloved?
កម្មពង្រាត់ឲ្យព្រាត់គ្នាហើយ
Kam Pongroat Aoy Proat Knea Hery
Our fate forces us to separate so we've separated already,
ជាតិនេះជាតិក្រោយ មាសអូនអើយ អូនសុំផ្សង
Jiat Nis Jiat Kraoy Meas Oun Ery Oun Som Psong
This life and the next life Ohh my beloved I pray,
សុំឲ្យបានជួបដូចបំណង
Som Aoy Ban Juab Doch Bomnong
Please allow me to meet the same as i desire,
បានជួបបងលង់លុះរៀងរាបអើយ
Ban Juab Bong Long Luh Reung Reab Ery
Ohh to meet you always.
here is also my favourite Ros Sereysothea song,
it really does show off her beautiful vocals more than any other song of hers i've ever heard, hope you enjoy...
Rolok Kompong Saom / Kompong Saom Dael Khnyom Nuk (the waves of Sihanoukvile or the Sihanoukville that i miss)
