Thank you for posting this nice video...I 'm a french guy in love with khmer love songs and with a sweet khmer woman...C'est tellement romantique ! j'adore !
@thierrypaponneau that's cool, you frenchmen ruled over Kampuchea for seventy some years, I'm american and also appreciate the culture of Cambodia. Viva la France and long live the nations of Vietnam and Cambodia
We just had different spirit. Those who've been through the camps have never been polluted by the current society where greed, pride and hatred exist.
I remember when we first came to Australia, our spirit, our joy of helping each other was strong. Our people from the church were always ready to welcome those who just arrived from the camp to settle them down, finding houses, furniture and buying old cars together. We had fun. Now we just don't have this kind of spirit any more. Don't no why?
I think that those who went through the refugee camps and then around the world in the 80's are the ppl who can appreciate each other better. It's because we left our homeland together, living packed together and being transferred from camp to camp not knowing where they were taking us.So when we got out to live in different part of the world, the countries, the ppl, the language that are not ours, we tend to appreciate each other more. We seek to get along and help each other all the time. Cont
1) the poster & the introduction 2 the song aint mention that it's an oldy, and
2) the actor & actress aint "khmao", as the song of course implies that the singers are "khmao", which literally means "black", not "dark-skinned". the khmer word that roughly means "dark-skinned" sounds like "sror-ehm".
jealousy is inherent in all human societies and civilization, I have learned to accept that. Sooner or later all of you will realize that you can't have the good without the bad, there's no such thing as "happiness" if you've never been sad.
Yes, there are those sick habits of jealous and invidious of other khmer doing well. but you younger generation don't have to follow the bad habits, and pass it down to your own children the teaching.
i like what the female singer is saying..she's saying yes she might be dark/tanned-skin but she's not cold hearted or bad. she's gentle and sweet to her lover (husband).
i just notice too that they are talking more than skin deep..they're talking about personality and characteristic. so yaay my khmer is getting a whole lot better =)
me too, I love my tan...nice brown tan ever..guys loves tan girls ..yes, I wonder why they thing that they are so better then other khmer,they go to the bathroom too won't they?hehe..If they scared to come close to me, stay away then I don't want them either,,,If they think they too good to be my friend,they can stay where they at...I have seen those stuck up khmer in usa also..
@khmerstar08 Hey...Sweetie Kristen so wat do you think about dis1 huhh we told you now you got it baby n hope you love it ...hahaa love 100% but only 99* come baby s/b U LOVE DIS SONG 100% VDO/SONG S/B 100* NA NOT 99*...LOL..J/K
haah in cambodia all the people want to be white like frikin chinesse lol they all take whiting cream but they should be haopy of ther dark color cuz thats what khmer is. im only half khmer but im a lil tan:)
most of my brother and sister or light skin,because my mother is from china my father is from cambodia,my father he got dark skin,one of my sister and brother is dark ,because my of my father,It doesn't matter is you dark or light as long as you are very nice and sweet,I go with all of them all colors and race..
I love this song so much,because my husband he is a black man,I love all colors peoples it don't matter where are you from I love them all..I love asian men too and all races..as long they really good to you it don't matter what they looked like I love them all,,,
It must be really tough being Khmer with talent. I hate Khmer hating on Khmer! Too many stupid Khmer in this world. There are some here in Canada. Khmer hating on Khmer because the other Khmer is doing better. Why can't us Khmer just fucking get along??!!!
I hear ya. There are plenty of those khmer in United States as well. They always step on each other and jealous of one another. That is so sad that I am khmer too but it is hard to see this kind of thing happen before our own eyes.
AHHH! i remember this song from when i was 6! i used to hear khmer music nonstop when i was 6 to the age i am now XD. i remember a lot of old people (friends, and relatives), my grandma gambling....and winning XD, ming hay boo yome muy srah, food all over the place, and khmer videos playing. and to think that that's all still happening each saturday-sunday at my grandma's house XD
Some of the reasons why Khmer people love so much are because the songs are so good. Another reason is that the singers are already dead. If they were still alive, Khmers would not support them. Cause all of us think we can sing. And we don't want to say that others are better than us. If that is not the case, howcome no one supports the new singers? Say my name y'all!
KHMER AND LAO don't like viet, I'm sure. Vietnam is a bad neighbore, even Thailand is also not a good neihbor either. These 2 neighbors are keep stealing khmer and lao territories. After all present time Thailand were used to be Khmer empire and the whole South Vietnam were belong to Cambodia. Shame on these 2 bully neighbors.
This sounds like such a beautiful song, im not even Khmai, but my boyfriend is and so is my best friend and half the people I know, lol. And to the person 3 comments below me, they have a point. When my best friend was teaching me Khami, kmao was on of the first words I learned and it sucks how people try to forget their culture and become so Americanized anyway, thanks for posting. This is a beautiful song! :)
cambodia dates way back before india cultural influence. assuming that, what does khmer look like. if you take the india out of khmer before india's arrival, khmer would look like chinese.
ignorant young khmer americans only understand the word kmao in this song, i know because my little brother and sister even my oldest sister claim khmer pride but they have no interest in learning anything khmer and when i speak khmer with my wife or my new khmer arrival friends they hear only words they understand and see us laughing so they think we are making fun of them, I use to be so american like them ashamed and as ignorant till I went there and learned the true meaning of khmer pride
I'm ashamed 2!, I don't have any khmay friends. Helps me differentiate between my friends. (Which are majority kmao or abrick) My mom was like born in the sray area so she can't teach me much. Like reading and high vocabulary wise. I actually, am fluent, but my vocabulary is jus like a country person! I feel sad for them, but I jus laugh at them.
Song title translate to "beauty is only skin deep."
It's a beautiful and classic song. No, it's not the original singer but the vocal isn't too bad. I like vocal diversity and enjoy how other might sing another version of the oldies.
So, how can so many people commenting on here misconstrue the real meaning of this song...unless you 1) don't fully understand Khmer language 2) you're ignorant and or 3) don't like this song.
The word to this song is the "nickname" to the one we loves. My brother in-law used to call his daughter and I used it to call my beautiful daughter. I love to sing this song to my daughter and my wife would laugh.
but it says that its a different singer... i think. my grandma read it to me last night!! LOL i forgot....but i dont think it was touch srey nich....but yet again i could be wrong
you know how SOME Cambodians say that if you're light skinned its consider beauty well i THINK.. shes saying dark skinned people are as good as people who are light skinned
Thats true, MOST Cambodians do think light skin is better because it shows a higher class of people. Typically peasents are darker because they work the fields. I personally don't like that idea, Khmers are darker naturally anyway. I even purposely tan myself so I won't get confused as something else. Beside dark girls are HOT! I'd pick dark one over a sick looking light skin one anyday.
i know huh... i don't see anything wrong with being dark..it's how you carry yourself.. im half black and Cambodian.. and i speak khmai better the some people that are actually full blooded Cambodian..
This is a classic song from the 70's, I forgot who sung it, I think I have it the classic one,from the original singer, but I haven't listened to it for along time.
Hush! is that the voice of my beloved singing? I have planted a garden for my love. Come to the garden, my love, let me see your face and hear your voice. Your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. My love is not black, but lame. What shall I do for my love? I shall call upon the Master Physician to heal her. Arise, my love, out of your bed of sorrow. Come away to his chambers and let him cover you with his balm of Gilead.
I love,being Khmer and kmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
