GOLDEN LAND Lyrics by VANNDA
Here, I stand, representing the essence of Khmer
Like Vishnu, the deity with a thousand hands
Those who understand me are spellbound,
Like being tattooed with a Sak Yant – entranced by something so sacred
I possess the power, the influence to command rains and thunders
My voice echoes worldwide like those of the wise, they say it resonates
I gotta hurry since I’m still young
The compass of my conscience guides my voice.
Elderly love it when i’m adventurous
They call me the young king
People celebrate me with so much roar, the earth shakes
My flow disperses in all eight directions
I am embodied by the power of Baramey, like a sage
My words carry the weight of the ancient wisdom of the Pali sutras
My name is VannDa
Rooted in the land of Sovannaphum
I’m solid as a rock
I place Cambodia on the map, people are zooming in on us
It’s remarkable
As I raise Cambodia’s flag for the first time,
My voice echoes worldwide
Permeating from the north to the south, to yonder
My name is VannDa
Rooted in the land of Sovannaphum
I’m solid as a rock
I place Cambodia on the map, people are zooming in on us
It’s remarkable
As I raise Cambodia’s flag for the first time,
My voice echoes worldwide
Permeating from the north to the south, to yonder
Casting sweet words to lure the fair
Honor and good reputation do fade with reckless words
Let wisdom guide the words that flow
Grinding like the poets, from the great golden Angkor
Play with a sheer, and I’ll show you what it cuts
Drop this track with so much bang, you’ll feel the whiplash
You’ll feel so lost
You can’t tell black from white
You’re under the influence, your eyes are hallowed
You probably can’t distinguish the fat from the butter
Telling people I’m your friend
When I don’t even know you
If you want clout, you should work for it
Eating my leftovers, there’s only bones left
Why are you so okay with it? That’s so parasitic
You’re clawing your way up
Why are you acting like that?
Maybe you think I am a prey?
So you’re observing me like an owl on the hunt
But you forgot that I am the predator
Uhhh, ain’t nothing new to me
Nothing seems impossible now
Let me do it if no one else cares
Let me be the one to see through it if your eyes are covered by a cyst
The Khmer people are not Asia’s ailing patients
Look down on us and I’ll split your skull in two
Whoever disrespect my people
I’ll step on your neck until your eyes pop out
My name is VannDa
Rooted in the land of Sovannaphum
I’m solid as a rock
I place Cambodia on the map, people are zooming in on us
It’s remarkable
As I raise Cambodia’s flag for the first time,
My voice echoes worldwide
Permeating from the north to the south, to yonder
My name is VannDa
Rooted in the land of Sovannaphum
I’m solid as a rock
I place Cambodia on the map, people are zooming in on us
It’s remarkable
As I raise Cambodia’s flag for the first time,
My voice echoes worldwide
Permeating from the north to the south, to yonder
