- “Flower Blooms in The Sky”
Vocal by Ros Sereysothea
Music/Lyrics by Voy Ho
Arrangement by Has Salan
Darling, do you see that odd flower?
The one blooming in the clear blue sky?
That is me looking down
Beckoning at you.
The clouds want me to stay up here
While the wind floats me around
I feel like I’m in heaven
But you are on middle earth.
I wanted to stay up here
But up here there is no you
I won’t stay up in the vast, meaningless sky
I rather live in the hut next to you
Listening to your adoring words
Darling, be faithful.
Faster wind
My darling is waiting to receive me
A flower blooms in the sky
Will stay in bloom in his loving hand.
Translation is a serious craft. One must capture the voice of an author writing in one language and relate it to another without overtaking the original author’s voice. One has to leave traces that the translation had ever taken place. Translating lyrics doesn't work if one were to translate word by word, or even sentence by sentence. And translating Khmer lyrics to English is even harder as some words just don't translate well. So I took some liberties to get a smoother translation.

That doesn’t sound good. The tones are crowded. The instruments are not tuned.
Because it is not the original sound. It had been dubbed, or remastered, as the people did it and thought that’s what they were doing. For a while, some overseas Khmer people, mostly in America, made their living by dubbing music over the original recordings of the pre-1975 songs. Years and years ago, I bought some CDs that had been compiled with oldies, thinking they were the original sounds. Sadly, most of them are of the atrociously "remastered" version. You can find the original recording of this song on TH-cam, though you have to search using its Khmer title.
