For those who know me in Discord, I have an obsession/love for Cambodia, perhaps a "Khmerphile" if you can say. Anyway, there are some of the lyrics I didn't properly understand which you might know which, but I apologize it's the best I could do. If anyone knows Khmer and make a better translation, post it in the comment section and I'll pin it
This song was probably made before 1970, which is the date the Khmer Republic was founded, but I digress, ignore that it is a Khmer Republic flag and imagine it's the Kingdom flag. I didn't bother checking the date
This song was sung in duet by Meas Samon & So Savoeun. Anyone who is knowledgeable of Cambodian music would recognize those two but if you don't I'll explain:
_Meas Samon_ - He was a comedian and singer (and also adopted a Charlie Chaplin-isc appearance). He sometimes snuck social commentary within his music which is one of the only Cambodian singers, aside from another singer, to ever do so. He was killed by the Khmer Rouge after disobeying them acouple times
_So Savoeun_- She was a member of the first Cambodian rock band called "Baksey Cham Krong". She managed to escape Cambodia from the Khmer Rouge, to France, and is still alive and lives there to this day

ប) បងប្អូនជាតិខ្មែរចិត្តមិនមែនខ្មៅ មិនមែនល្ងង់ខ្លៅដេកចាំតែស្លាប់ (២ដង)
ឃើញខ្មែរមានទុក្ខចិត្តខ្មែរឈឺចាប់ ច្រើនហួសរាយរាប់ប្រាប់ក៏មិនអស់
ស) ជាតិខ្មែរមានធម៌ឈាមជ័រឱ! តែមួយ បើខ្មែរទុក្ខព្រួយរួមគ្នាស្រណោះ (២ដង)
អាល័យអាណិតដោយចិត្តស្ម័គ្រស្មោះ សុខចិត្តស្លាប់រស់ព្រោះតែជាតិឯង
ប) ក្តិចចុងច្រមុះវាហូរទឹកភ្នែក ហូរដោយសង្វេគព្រោះក្តីចំបែង (២ដង)
ចិត្តខ្មែរប្រុសស្រីគ្រប់ទីកន្លែង អាណិតឈាមឯងជាតិខ្មែរតែមួយ
ស) ខ្មាំងចាក់រុកខមរឱយបកសមគគ នគរបទសទធវកមមធវពរ (២ដង)
