The Little Farm Boy

I'm just a little farm boy

I'm just a little farm boy

No merchant's son am I

I love my folks, I drink no booze

I smoke some hash, it's true

And honk as loudly as a goose

And am as thoughtless, too.

At dawn I rise

My hair untouched by comb or brush

Out under the sun I tan my tush.

Work's not worth the worry

Work’ll ruin you, surely!

Love on Cowback by Hak Chhay Hok, English translation by Nic Bozanic
