"The King's Procession"

Oh, I think with nostalgia of the king’s procession

Oh, I think with nostalgia of the king’s procession

He never traveled alone, he never traveled alone

Always escorted by his army.

Oh, the day started, the day started, with dimly light

Oh, the day started, the day started, with dimly light

Escorted the king, escorted the king who traveled by land.

Oh, the king was on a horseback, the king was on a horseback

The king rode on the back of an elephant

The king was on the back of the royal lion, regarding the forest.

Oh, I continue to think nostalgically

Oh, I continue to think nostalgically

With rejuvenated body

Surrounded by flowers, surrounded by flowers

The king entered the victory hall.

Sdach Yeang, or The King’s Procession in English, is a Khmer wedding song
