2). My dad was a tailored (he was a French teacher before he married my mother) he sewed so many clothes for the soldiers. I remember the soldiers sang this song. The soldiers were very nice. This song touches my heart so deeply. one of the soldier who sang this song was killed by the mine blew up on him when he stepped on it. It was so sad. He fought for our Freedom.
This song just touched my heart so deep. . . becuz I was about 10 years old in 1972 at a small city name Chombok. At that time Lon Nol's soldiers were fighting the Khmer Rouge. The soldiers were lined up and walked on the roads in front of my house (a two stories concret building).
Seriousy valuable resource, I have been in Cmabodia this lat month and it is so hard to find this track on cd even though every Cambodian person over the age of 10 knows this song off by heart. I ended up only gettin it in a Kareoke format with quiet vocals (the best part of Sereysothea's tracks) Of course I can't speak Khmer so I only have myself to blame..arrrgh
Danish Lyrics: I år er jeg 16 ... I år er jeg 16 Der er ingen bekymringer fa la la la Livet er som blomster, afgiver en dejlig duft fa la la la la la la la I år er jeg 16 ... I år er jeg 16 Der er ingen bekymringer fa la la la Hvad er kærlighed? Er det bitter, sur, eller sød? fa la la la la la la la
esta musica es genial....trizte polpot tu y tu fea rrevolucion, nos quitaste una gran cantante.....................me pregunto si aca en america latina se podra conseguir la musika de esta chinita(bueno camboyana)la e buscado en especial esta cancion pero nada mas no se puede
I was reading a piece of paper about her life and the journalist was impressed by some of her songs: Pink night, New year's eve. Can anyone tell me what is the title in khmer pls? Thanks
The song that the band Dengue Fever covered as "New Year's Eve", is really called "Jam 10 Kai Theit", or "Wait Ten Months More", which is actually paired with the song in this video. I'm not sure about the Khmer name for Pink Night.
Pink night (Yub Poar P'kar Chhouk) you refer to is actually Ros Serey's version of Middle of the Road's Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep. One of Ros Serey's 1972 output, when she was at the peak of her popularity.. so popular she was that Pen Ron, Huy Meas also started to sing in a higher pitch than they used to.
@lumieresrei Pink Night is based on a song by a UK band called "Middle of the Road." The original title is "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep." I haven't been able to find the Khmer title either.
The male backup singers said "som sror lahn" , no doubt. Check out LauraMam's video and acoustic rendition of this song, she cleared pronounced "som sror lahn". BTW, she did a great job and Ros Serei Sothea would have been proud.
WOW i haven't listened to this song since like when i was like a 4 year old i used to dance to it all the time and sing it with my mom wow have not listen to this for a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a great, great song! I only discovered Khmer rock music a week ago. I think it's going to become a big part of my life. Yesterday was the 34th anniversary of the Khmer Rouge marching into Phnom Penh. It makes me very sad to think about what happened. It's so important to remember and honor these great musicians. Love and peace.
I agree. I really like the versions of Chnam Oun 16 by Meas Soksophea and by Chhom Nimol of Dengue Fever, but Ros Sereysothea's voice is like a very fine instrument played by a master musician. She was definitely one of the greatest singers of the 20th Century.
Can you believe it, this song consist of like 20 words sung over and over again but yet it's one of the greatest hits from the golden era ...I wish Khmer music today can make great hits like it did in the 60's-70's, or I hope they can make hits like they use to in my life time at lest. Thanks for sharing!
well, if we want today's songs to make a great hit like the 60-70 we have to wrote our own songs and create the music. Nowadays, we only translate and edit others music, so i doubt ikt would make a hit.
I want to thank you all for working out the lyrics. I love all these songs even though I have no idea what they're saying, except for a title here and there. Someone should make a webpage with transliterated (i.e., Roman alphabet) Khmer lyrics and the English translation, just so I can sing along and know what I'm singing. Someone who already has a Ros Sereysothea website, maybe? ;-)
@garymaher I'm glad to hear that you love Cambodian oldies. I'll work on translating this song, per Gary :). I'll let you know...better yet, just subscribe to my channel, that way you'll know when it's ready for your viewing. It'll be quite awhile before the project is completed.
Thanks guys for this video,whoever put it!! I have discovered it thanks to my mum and brother and I am now showing it to my kids (8,6 and 2 years old!!) GREAT!!
cambodians are natural born rockers. we were meant to rock, thank buddha for chhom nimol from dengue fever. i love her, thats the type of music i love to hear.
man we need to bring this kinda rock back, khmer rock these dayz is more pop than rock. this the real shit i feel the western melody in it. and loveing the guitar solo
This year, I'm 16. There is no worry. Life is like flowers, ...(something I don't know the words for). This year, I'm 16. There is no worry. What is love? Is it bitter, sour, or sweet? la la la la la.
great classic rock. something the viets and siamese never had. khmer need to emerge and get known in society more. example: khmer should keep owning khmer restraunt instead of chinese and thai!!!!!!!!!!! KHMER PRIDE!!!!!!
This song came out in 1973, I remembered because I have to pick a song and sing in front of the class. In Phnom Pehn school, one of the grade is music. In other towns, sewing is more important than music.
I remember this song when I was in 3rd grade. In Palin on April 1975 Ros Sereysothea almost leave the country with my family and others. Her husband called and demanding for her to return to Phnom Pehn immediately. I was standing there listened and looked at her sad face when she hanged up the radio.
man, i hope these days come back our way soon :D
