Never Talk

A haunting tribute to Cambodias 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 parents tears a childs 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 Weve 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 couldnt save

Never talk the silence screams Of broken lives and stolen dreams Weve all lost something through the years Echoes of sorrow in quiet tears

Behind those walls in Phnom Penhs heart Where screams of fear tore souls apart Their ghosts still linger their shadows stay The pain of memories wont 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 wont decay

Never talk but I still hear The silent cries the endless fear Weve all lost something far and wide Yet through the pain their hope survives

In every field in every stone Their whispers tell were not alone Though silence hides the paths they tread The echoes guide the lives weve led
