Khmer Rouge Part Three: The End

Episode Summary

"Oh Phnom Penh During the three years we were apart, I missed you and my heart suffered each and every day Because the enemy cut off the affection between you and me. When I was forced to leave you, anger burned in my heart And compelled me to avenge the sufferings you bore To show my faithfulness to you. Phnom Penh, our beloved city In spite of 3 years of hardship, you managed to preserve our nation’s Bright history of courage and represent the soul of Kampuchea, Which was once one of the world’s glorious empires. You prevented the disappearance of Cambodia, the descendent Of the majestic Angkor empire. Oh, the soul of the Khmer nation lives on and oh, is inspired by The majestic Angkor Empire. Oh, Phnom Penh, now we are reunited and you are relieved From bereavement. Oh, Phnom Penh, our nation’s heart and soul.

     (rough English translation: “The wind blows so cold. I miss Seav Hua and Seav Chhieng. Oh pitiful child! I am separated from father and mother like it blows the treetops. The trees strangely sway. The trees rocks and shake. I am like the leaves of a swaying tree. To quickly return to my mother’s side.

The light of day is hot, I miss Seav Hua and Seav Chhieng. Oh pitiful child! I don’t have a father and mother. Time passes by and is not missed. Take my childhood. Take away time. A young child doesn’t need to suffer. A child shouldn’t be without a father and mother. To quickly return to my mother’s side.)
