Three Lands One Heart
From the mountains of the south,
a story
crossed the sea Teochew blood,
Cambodian memories, America became our destiny គ្រួសារខ្ញុំ…
(My family)
យើងនៅជាមួយគ្នា…
(We stand together) Three lands,
one heart,
our story lives forever
Southern China,
where our roots began
Teochew voices, passed from hand to hand Across the ocean,
Cambodia became home We built our lives,
never standing alone Khmer skies,
warm nights, memories remain Family laughter through the joy and pain Different
lands, but the same heartbeat
Our ancestors' footsteps beneath our feet
Then the winds of war came rolling through
Took us away from the life we knew
Packed our hopes with the dreams we held
Faced the unknown, but our love never fell
One family!
Three lands!
We survived, now here we stand!
From China to Khmer,
across the sea
America became our destiny!
គ្រួសារខ្ញុំ!
(My family!) ខ្ញុំស្រឡាញ់អ្នក!
(I love you!)
Through every storm, through every fight
We carried our home in our hearts tonight!
Por Chiem, Father,
the strength of our name
Ky Lim, Mother, our love’s steady flame
Meng and Ju,
standing side by side
Houar and Hong, walking through the tide And I’m Peng,
carrying the roots we could never leave behind
Refugees with hope inside our hands
Starting over in a brand new land Different language,
new roads to cross We kept moving forward through every loss
Built a better tomorrow from yesterday
ចិត្តមួយ គ្រួសារមួយ…
One heart, one family
មិនបោះបង់គ្នា…
We never leave each other behind
One family!
Three lands!
We survived, now here we stand!
From China to Khmer,
across the sea
America became our destiny!
One blood, one name,
one legacy
No ocean can divide our family!
From our past to eternity
One family, three lands—our history!
To the land that gave our roots
To Cambodia and the life we knew
To America,
where we began again
Our family’s love will never end អរគុណ គ្រួសារខ្ញុំ…
(Thank you, my family) សេចក្តីស្រឡាញ់ជារៀងរហូត…
No matter where tomorrow leads,
our family is all we need
ONE FAMILY!
THREE LANDS!
LOOK AT US—HERE WE STAND!
China to Cambodia, America we call home Through every chapter,
we’ll never stand alone!
Por Chiem! Ky Lim!
Hear our story rise!
Meng, Ju, Houar, Hong—our family survives!
Peng carries the memory,
the flame! គ្រួសារខ្ញុំ! យើងនៅជាមួយគ្នា!
Three lands, one heart,
our roots live on through eternity!
From southern China…
to Cambodia…
to America…
We carried our memories,
we carried our dreams
We carried each other
គ្រួសារខ្ញុំ…
My family
Three lands.
One heart.
Forever.
