Lyrics - Never Talk

🎵 Never Talk

Khmer Style

"A haunting tribute to Cambodia’s unspoken traumas, where silence carries the weight of loss, memory, and quiet resilience."

They never talk, their voices fade, Through silent fields, where lives were laid. A parent’s tears, a child’s last breath, A nation fractured, bound by death. The earth remembers, it keeps their cries, A story hidden in the skies. Never talk, the silence screams, Of broken lives and stolen dreams. We’ve all lost something, through the years, Echoes of sorrow, in quiet tears. Homes stand empty, names erased, Through endless nights, their pain replaced. ស្រមោលអតីតកាលនៅតែរស់ (The shadows of the past remain), ចងចាំការបាត់បង់នៅលើដីស្រពោន (Remembering loss on this broken plain). Their hands once strong, their faces brave, But silence fills what they couldn’t save. Never talk, the silence screams, Of broken lives and stolen dreams. We’ve all lost something, through the years, Echoes of sorrow, in quiet tears. Behind those walls in Phnom Penh’s heart, Where screams of fear tore souls apart. Their ghosts still linger, their shadows stay, The pain of memories won’t fade away. The chains, the cells, the stories untold, A haunting truth the world must hold. Everyone lost a part of life, A home, a name, a child, a wife. (Khmer) ជីវិតត្រូវបែកបាក់ពីរបៀបផ្សេងៗ (Life shattered in so many ways.) (English) Through tears and loss, they found their way, A quiet strength that won’t decay. Never talk, but I still hear, The silent cries, the endless fear. We’ve all lost something, far and wide, Yet through the pain, their hope survives. In every field, in every stone, Their whispers tell we’re not alone. Though silence hides the paths they tread, The echoes guide the lives we’ve led.
