"Oh Brahmin" is a very old Khmer song, written in Baky Buon (four-syllable metre)Oh Brahmin,You never walk along the ground.You usually ride an elephantIts howdah decorates with flowers.Oh Brahmin,Your feet tap as you walk along.The thorns of the feroniaCut your feet.Anak cau brahm oeyMin tael toe tiDhlap jih tamriKancaen ray phkayAnak cau brahm oeyCau toe tamn tamnPanla krasamnMut joen cau brahm
