Khmenglish by Gobshite – a great way to learn some Khmer words

[Robin]

I came across this video clip by coincidence while browsing Youtube. What a great way to learn the Khmer language. These guys did an amazing job putting together this song and video clip!

These are the lyrics for the newbies who want to learn some ”khmenglish”:

A gon gayp is a frog, a chikaye is a dog, to tarp is to snog a bon tup tuk’s the bog, if you’re a moron then we say you amoke, you ot loy that means you’re broke and if you chu uk then you must smoke, if you’re crazy im’a call you ch’goot, you’re kçhul if you’re lazy meeun means you got loot, s’dap, that means listen man i glisten on beats, i keep these fine rhymes bahime and bahime means sweet, yo, your ming is your auntie, your uncles your bpooh, leave you rappers muk krahom or red faced to you, lahor is good, add the ot if it’s bad and sabay that means your happy add the ot if your sad, your pataya’s ya pad, ya pah is your dad, you keung you must be mad and bong thom means your a gangsta lad, cheeers, see you laters what i’m saying to toys, chuop khnear pil krowie man and chol gow moi……

I aint fluent but i chat it a bit, Gobshite coming through on a Khmenglish tip,
i aint fluent but i chat it a bit Gobshite reppin’ right on a Khmenglish tip,
I aint fluent but i chat it a bit, Gobshite coming through on a Khmenglish tip,
i aint fluent but i chat it a bit Gobshite reppin’ right on a Khmenglish tip

Tik-tik is a little and charan means a lot, and if you need to chop your mop we say gut sot, and if you’re pissed then that means you’re srovung, don’t know the answer to the question then just say ot dung, chnang is tasty, ot chnang if it’s rank and ch’ngoy that means it’s smelling good, sahoy means stank, to neekyay is to speak, if your kh’sowie you’re weak and if you jong meun panyaha …you want grief, teeth are th’meng, if you’re young you’re kh’meng, your songsa that be your Mrs and your poohma’s your friend, cheap it towk and th’lay means expensive and if somebody mentions gom plerng you best be apprehensive, barang means westerner, before it meant French, kh’nyom mow pee Anglais so put that shit on the bench, i love Cambodia cus’ here i feel freer, in Khmer we say Kh’nyom srolang Kampuchea!!!
