Apsara

After seeing a few beautiful videos about Khmer Apsara, I was inspired to make a short video. The dancing and cultural attires are just beautiful.

Apsara, the goddess of love
The most beautiful of all
This lullaby fulfills my senses
With a scent so enchanting
And a name that is so legendary

Apsara, my beloved
Your beauty truly surpasses all
With a figure so petite and a smile so sweet
Long hair that covers the length of your back
And a flower that adorns your face

Enchanted by an Apsara
The flower of Cambodia
So stunning, she captures the heart of men
She raises her hands to dance with grace
I love you dearly with all my heart

Apsara, the ruler of my heart
I bestow to you my life
For you, a love that is faithful and true
Eternally, Cambodia

What are the hats called that the women wear?

@Erika107 Actually, I don't know what the golden crown headdresses are called in Khmer.

If one can understand that, then there is truth.There's no justification for music preferences. What ever floats your boat.;)

@TZ

With time, there's also progress in any era of music. The style and genre might not always appease everyone's musical senses, and music doesn't need to be conformed to a certain standard in order to be appreciated. I love traditional instruments too, yet more importantly than how this particular song was arranged with contemporary electric guitars and drum machine, it's the fact that the music and the language itself speaks to the heart.
