Khmer Original Lyrics
[Verse 1]
អូនលង់ស្នេហ៍គេអ្នកទីក្រុងហើយមែនទេ?
គេលាបឡេស្បែក គេនោះសផូរផង់
បណ្ដើរគ្នាក្នុងផ្សារទំនើបជីបម៉ុង
ធ្លាក់ថ្លើមក្តុក សុខៗលេចវត្តមានគេ…
បងអ្នកស្រែស្គាល់ត្រឹមការហ្វេចិញ្ចើមផ្លូវ
ស្បែកក៏ខ្មៅមិនស៊ីវីល័យមិនត្រូវ ត្រែន
មិនដែលស្គាល់ទេហាងកាហ្វេ ប្រែនៗ
បងអែបកៀនមិនមានសមត្ថភាពទេ…
[Chorus]
ភ្លេចបងហើយ មែនទេ?
ភ្លេចបងហើយ មែនទេ?
ទាំងថ្ងៃត្រង់ បណ្ដើរគេ
ភ្លើតភ្លើននឹងស្នេហ៍ព្រោះតែអូនស្គាល់អ្នកទីក្រុង
បងស៊ូគេមិនបានទេ សង្សារ
បងអ្នកស្រែចំការ គេឡូយហឺហា គេអ្នកក្រុង
គេប្រើរបស់ High high
គេចាយតែលុយក្នុងកុង
បានប្រាណអូនហើយគេបោះបង់…
គេមិនស្មោះត្រង់នឹងអូនទេ…
អា……
អូ…
[Verse 2]
OUTFIT ១ម៉ឺន ១ម៉ឺន ម៉េចហ៊ានកខ្លើនទៅប្រៀបគេ
លីអូបងធ្លុះគូទ គេវិញស្លៀកសុទ្ធតែ CK
គេមានឡានផ្ទាល់ខ្លួន
បងជិះអាសង់ ១២០cc
សាវ៉ារកគេ បើស្មោះស្នេហ៍មករកបង…
ស្ទាវក្រដូចបងពៅអើយចាក់គេម៉េចចុះ
គេសុីសុទ្ធសាលម៉ុន ឯបងញាំតែមីស្រុះ
សក់ក្រហមរាងបញ្ឆិត ខោជាន់កែងត្រចៀកចោះ
នាងណាយត្រីរ៉ស់ បោះចោលយកសុីឈ័ន…
[Chorus]
ភ្លេចបងហើយ មែនទេ?

English Translation
[Verse 1]
Have you fallen in love with that city guy?
He uses skin lotions, looking bright and fair,
Walking together at Chip Mong shopping mall,
My heart dropped when I suddenly saw him…
I’m a country boy who only knows sidewalk coffee,
Dark-skinned, unstylish, and out of trend,
Never knowing branded coffee shops,
I stand aside, having no ability to compete.
[Chorus]
Have you forgotten me? Have you forgotten me?
Even at noon, walking with him,
Infatuated with love because you know a city person.
I can’t compete with him, my love.
I’m a farm guy, he’s cool and living lavishly in the city,
He uses high-end items, spending money from his bank account.
Once he gets what he wants, he’ll abandon you…
He won’t be faithful to you…
Ah……
Oh…
[Verse 2]
$10,000 outfits—how dare I compare myself to him?
My underwear has holes, while he wears pure CK.
He has his own car, I ride an old 120cc Honda Dream.
If you want playboys, stay with him; if you want loyal love, come back to me.
A poor youngster like me, how can I compete?
He eats pure salmon, while I eat plain instant noodles.
With red tilted hair, low-rise pants, and pierced ears,
You dumped simple local fish to go eat Sichuan cuisine…
[Chorus]
Have you forgotten me? Have you forgotten me?
Moving to the city, your lifestyle changed degree—
Showing off three camera lenses on an iPhone 17 Pro Max!
I can’t compete with him, my love.
I’m a farm guy, he’s cool and living lavishly in the city,
He uses high-end items, spending money from his bank account.
Once he gets what he wants, he’ll abandon you…
He won’t be faithful to you…
Ah……
Oh…
[Verse 3]
$10,000 outfits—how dare I compare myself to him?
My underwear has holes, while he wears pure CK.
He has his own car, I ride an old 120cc Honda Dream.
If you want playboys, stay with him; if you want loyal love, come back to me.
A poor youngster like me, how can I compete?
He eats pure salmon, while I eat plain instant noodles.
With red tilted hair, low-rise pants, and pierced ears,
You dumped simple local fish to go eat Sichuan cuisine…
Story Behind the Song
The song tells a poignant yet satirical story about the stark social divide in modern Cambodia. Here is a breakdown of the central metaphors and storylines within the lyrics:
- The Economic Divide: The protagonist compares his simple background (drinking roadside coffee, eating instant noodles, riding a 120cc Honda Dream motor) with the wealthy city rival who wears $10,000 outfits, dines on salmon, drives a car, and sports Calvin Klein.
- Modern Flex Culture: References like “Chip Mong Shopping Mall” and “iPhone 17 Pro Max with 3 camera lenses” highlight how urban materialism tempts young people away from humble, honest relationships.
- Loyalty vs. Flashy Romance: Despite his poverty, the singer warns his former love that the wealthy urban playboy won’t offer genuine loyalty—promising that true love lies back in the countryside with the boy who loved her unconditionally.
