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.
