📝 បងក្រ lyrics
យើងស្រឡាញ់គ្នា តាំងពីអូនទើបធំ
អូនទើបពេញក្រមុំ
អូនធ្លាប់យំ ដោយសារបង
រឿងកន្លង បងចងចាំវាមិនដែលភ្លេច
គ្រប់ពេលដែលថ្ងៃរៀបលិច
អូ! ម្តេចក៏ឈឺបេះដូងខ្លាំងម្លេះ
ខូចចិត្តពេក ទើបខ្ញុំនេះញៀនស្រា
ធ្លាប់សន្យា ថាមិនប៉ះបារី
តែឥឡូវ ស្អីក៏ខ្ញុំពាល់អស់ដែរ
ស្នេហ៍ធ្វើអោយខ្ញុំប្រួលប្រែ
ព្រោះមនុស្សស្រីម្នាក់ប៉ុណ្ណោះ
ជាកូនប្រុស មិនសមស្រក់ទឹកភ្នែក
នឹកគេពេក អ្នកណាទៅទប់ជាប់
ស្រឡាញ់គេ ចង់ងាប់
ធ្លាប់តែមានគេក្បែរ
ឥឡូវគេប្រួលប្រែ
ចោលស្នេហ៍ដ៏កំសត់កំរ
ក្រដូចបងនួន
ល្អងរត់ចោលសមហើយ
🌐 English Translation (Subtitle Style)
You used to concern that I would betray you,
And you were tired of controlling me.You used to be jealous and question me every day,
And I felt so proud back then.You were overconcerned relentlessly —
Oh! You used to physically fight because of me.We fell in love since you were young,
A very early adult.You used to cry because of me.
Whatever happened, I will never forget.Every time the sun sets —
Oh! Why does my heart hurt so badly?So broken,
That’s why I became an alcoholic.I vowed not to touch cigarettes,
But now I’ve smoked everything.Love has changed me
Because of just one girl.As a man, it’s not worth crying.
Missing you too much, who could hold it back?Loved her to death,
She used to be by my side.
Now she has changed
And abandoned this miserable love.Poor like me,
You’ve run away and left this scene.
