  • great song. thanks for posting

  • yeah...........rom vong

  • i remember listening to this song!

    KHMER PRIDE FOR LIFE!

  • khemera777,

    the modern songs aren't as good as sin si samouths' not only because the modern singers are copycats, but more importantly because they're not as good as him.

    btw, this may be another topic, it's good that they sing his songs. by doin' so they honor him & contribute 2 the keepin' of his memories alive.

  • about preab sovath,

    i cant understand how he can be that famous. he sounds like a YEE-AK (asorah)!! ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

    perhaps the people who're his fans have never heard sin si samouth.

  • i love this song..

  • not only did sin si samouth write his own songs, but none repeat NONE of the modern singers can be compared or even come close 2 him.

  • sin si samouth = beatles + elvis of cambodia.

    when i grew up in the 60s & was a youth in

    the 1st half of the 70s in cambodia, he was

    like the other half of the soul of every

    cambodian, pure khemera or mixed race, male

    or female, young or old, rich or poor.

    now after bein' away from cambodia 4 more

    than 30 years, i still have him & undoubtedly

    will always have him in my soul.

  • Lok Sin Sisamouth married his cousin who is my mother's first cousin in khat Stieng Treng, we were more Laos than Khmer at that time. The reason was that the province is very close to Laos and it was only return by Siam (Thailand) early in the turn of the century which mean less that 50 years under Kampuchea rule at that time but Laos had been living in that delta area long before Siam took and returned. Does anyone know why with all the great songs he sang, never one about Stieng Treng?

  • domgam,

    thanx 4 the info. in a site where some people seem 2b embarrassed or indignant about samouth marryin' his cousin, i tell them that in the cambodian culture it's ok 2 marry one's cousin, that they must not judge events happenin' in cambodia based on the beliefs & values of the west. in another site, i also ask the same question as you do here: why is it that samouth never sang about his home province of steung trenhg??

  • tks pkving, The main reason 4 close-marriage 4 us was to keep our land intact & local affluence. According to my sister who spend time w/ the family in the capital early 70s, he was very aware of the national pride raising high at that time, he didn't want his marriage / background be problem to his career & fame, no point of a song to remind people where he came from, he knew how gossip & judgmental can destroy career, he was right. The dress in the clip is in Esaan tradition, similar to Laos.

  • @domgam

    thanx 4 the info.

  • Preap for little teenagers who like loud no meaning. Preap sound so forceful  and didn't please my ears at all. I never care. I am appreciate Heng BunLeap; he has more gifts talent and he very good looking. And 100% true star artist Mr. Sisamouth.

  • luckey008,

    rite rite preab has loudness but no meanin'. he aint please my ears at all either. i never care either. i aint know who heng bunleap is. i know that preab aint the best male singer in cambodia at the present. yeah yeah the 100% true star artist is sin si samouth.

  • This is my favorite khmer oldies.

  • Sin Sisamouth is a hero in his days and a legend today,Hero's get remember but Legends live forever.

  • I like how every, I mean EVERY, khmer loves Sisamouth. Young and Old.

  • yea i love his songs but now adays well in australia some doesnt even no who he even is they like only no like preab sovath

  • Preap may be famous artist in Khmer today but you can't touch the king. Sisamouth did actually compose and write his own songs. Preap is just a singer. He just sings whatever RHM gives to him. Knowing your history makes you comprehend things better and you also have better appreciation for what is authentic and what is copycat.

  • Totally agree!!!

  • Comment removed

  • That's absolutely TRUE!!!
