“Champey Riik Prouh Sansaem”
(Frangipani Blooms Because of Dew)
Vocals by Sinn Sisamouth & Pen Ran
Music & Lyrics by Voy Ho
Arrangement by Mer Bun
Dawn is like the span of our love, ready to bloom and finally blooming in nature. Even with roses and jasmine scattering and brightening all around, I do not want to leave you. I want to taste your flavor and breathe in your scent, my lovely Champey.
Champey blooms brilliantly because of the dew, and I can breathe because of your sympathy. If our love changes and we lose devotion, this champey tree will lose its meaning and cease to exist in the world.
White champey is the most lovely; I truly adore you, my love, truly!
I fear I will only be fragrant when fresh.
Believe me, my dear, even if you are wilted, withered, and dried, I would still desire you.
I will nourish you with holy water. I shall love, cherish, and protect you every day so that you, dear Champey, will remain fresh year after year.
I put my life in your hands. Be sympathetic, my dear. Please look after the love of this white champey.
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.
