about

A father's last hymn to his dying child, while wishing him happiness in the next life. Inspired by folk like songs my mother used to sing to me as a child. Lyrics in Khmer

lyrics

Kouhn aing keeng thouh
(sleep my child),

Kouhn kom kwahl s’ay thiet
(don’t worry about anything else my child),

Puoploke ni, kthiek ah hai
(this world is destroyed),

Aht mien s’ay as’ah
(there is nothing left),

Bet pnaik, youa sop sabai
(close your eyes and dream of happiness),

Pah taa le’uy hai kouhn
(father says goodbye my child),

Pah sra’lyngh kouhn
(father loves you my child)
