Song

I Let You Go

EnglishKhmer

PopBallad

Although the song is titled “I Let You Go”, it repeatedly features the reversed phrase “You let me go”.

The lyrics alternate between English and Khmer, sometimes beginning a thought in one language and continuing it in the other.

I Let You Go

The stars are gone

The stars are gone,

Bong trov ros kmean oun

I have to live without you.

You made me comfortable

You made me comfortable,

I trusted you

I trusted you.

Het avei chanh lbech bong pel nih

Why did I fall for your tricks this time?

The sky is calling you

The sky is calling you,

'Cause it's been way too dark for me

'Cause it's been way too dark for me.

Sneha yeung asann bong pel nih

Our love is in danger now.

Baby, would you let me know?

Oun tuk bong chea trem santom kbot

You left me with nothing but betrayal.

I put you on a pedestal

I put you on a pedestal,

But you went out and ripped my soul

But you went out and ripped my soul.

Let me know

Let me know,

Let me know

Let me know,

Let me know

Let me know,

Let me know

Let me know.

Oun deng tha oun bong srolanh bong tae

I know that I still love you, but

Som chuob bong nov chong kraoy

One last time?

I feel like you forgot where we used to be

Please.

Baby, did you love me?

I feel like you forgot where we used to be.

Baby, did you love me?

My worries

My worries,

Kom yok teuk

They disappear.

Phnek mok sroch tae thngai nih

Don't use your tears

The truth comes out

To water this love today.

You've got me begging on my knees

You've got me begging on my knees.

Baby, would you let me know?

Oun tuk bong chea trem santom kbot

Baby, would you let me know?

I put you on a pedestal

But you went out and ripped my soul.
