[thenguyen]

What are they saying about us !!!! I would like to know.

since I have spare time now, I'll translate these songs for you
- the first song: Sóc Sờ Bay Sóc Trăng
Vietnamese lyric: Người dân quê tôi Sóc trăng đã bao đời dầm mưa dãi nắng, đổi lấy chén cơm thơm ngọt như sữa mẹ mát ngọt đời con.
Sông quê tôi đổ về 3 ngã, cây trái ngọt muôn dòng phù sa. Chiều qua Trường Khánh có người bạn qua. uà chể tùa hia ưa tá lư thiền
Về Đại Tâm thăm người bạn Khơ Me, nghe hát Dù Kê và điệu múa Lâm thôn. Sóc sờ Bay bòn tô na bòn, tô na ơ bòn, tô na ơ bòn ơi
Về đây quê hương Sóc Trăng, lũy tre làng, hàng dừa rợp bóng, dù đi bốn bể năm châu, xa quê rồi mới hiểu lòng đau

English: our people in Sóc trăng had spend our hard lives with raining and hoarse sun, to earn a bowl of rice that sweet like mother's breast milk nourishing my life. the rivers in my hometown end in 3 branches, sweet fruits with rich Phu Sa. once afternoon pass through Trường Khánh, there is my friend. "uà chể tùa hia ưa tá lư thiền" (these phase is Khmer language, the singer tried to sing in Vietnamese, If you don't know what it means, then I have no idea)
come to Đại Tâm visiting my Khmer friend, listen to a melody of Dù Kê and Lâm thôn dance (Dù Kê is type of Khmer music and Lâm thôn is Khmer dancing style, I think you all know them). Sóc sờ Bay bòn tô na bòn, tô na ơ bòn, tô na ơ bòn ơi (one again this is Khmer phase).
come here to my hometown Sóc Trăng with Bamboo trees surrounding the village, with coconut trees we can hide the sun, even though I go anywhere in 4 big Oceans and 5 Continents, but still it is broken my heart for missing my hometown.

Second song: the Lam Thol dancing

LA LA LA LA LA LÀ LÀ LA LA LÁ LA LÀ LÀ.
LA LA LA LA LA LÀ LÀ LA LA LÁ LA LÀ LA.
Đường về Trà Vinh chim hót mừng lúa chín vàng đồng.
Hàng dừa ven sông mưa nắng bao kỉ niệm nhớ mong.
Đây đó vang vọng khúc Mù Âm,tiếng trống Xà Dăng đến bập bùng.
Và điệu LamThol như vàn đôi tay múa theo nhịp nhàng.

Người về Trà Vinh năm tháng còn nhớ Ao Bà Om.
Trở lại quê xưa nghe khúc ca Tiểu Cần vấn vương.
Ai đón ai về xóm Cầu Ngang bên mái nhà tranh có tấm lòng.
Một lần qua đây trong lòng mê say nhớ quê hương này.

Em dang đôi tay,vui đón nhau về đây,quê em xinh xinh,mang trái tim Trà Vinh.
Có Biển Ba Động nếu duyên phải lòng thương nhớ lắm không.
Chùa Cò ai qua Khách Du đường xa trắng cây cò bay.

Người người về đây chan chứa tình thắm duyên Trà Vinh.
Ruộng đồng bao la mưa nắng lúa hai mùa tốt tươi.
Ai có đi về đất Trà Vinh xin gửi lại đây chút ân tình.
Và điệu LamThol của người Trà vinh sống mãi bên đời.

Here is English lyric

LA LA LA LA LA LÀ LÀ LA LA LÁ LA LÀ LÀ.
LA LA LA LA LA LÀ LÀ LA LA LÁ LA LÀ LA.
On the way come back to Tra Vinh, the birds sing happily for the rich yellow rice fields.
the coconut trees around the rivers carried many my memories
Here, there, I can hear Mù Âm and the sound of Xà Dăng drums (Mù Âm is Khmer music and Xà Dăng is Khmer's drum instrument)
And Lam Thol that makes me want to dance

People visit Trà Vinh, for many years still remembering Bà Om lake ( Bà Om lake, also be called square lake, is a very famous lake in Tra Vinh which was made by ancient Khmer people and there is a legend story about it)
come back to my old hometown, listening to beautiful Tiểu Cần melody
Who waiting lover in Nha Tranh of Cầu Ngang village (Nha Tranh is a house making by water coconut leaves)
Once come to this town, I fall in love with it

I open my arms, welcome you here, my beautiful hometown that carried the heart of Trà Vinh
There is Ba Động beach where you will miss it once fall in love
Tourists visit Chùa Cò with many white storks on trees (Chùa Cò is a Khmer Pagoda, it famous for a huge amount of white storks living there)

People come here with the loves for Trà Vinh
the endless rice fields, in two seasons sunny and raining, the rice keep growing
Who comes to Trà Vinh, please leave here some loves
And Lam Thol dance of Trà vinh people will live forever.

I heard about the Bat Pagoda. But I don't remember the story about the bats. Correct me if I'm wrong but they're supposedly "protectors" of the pagoda?

[thenguyen]

I have no idea about that. from some paper I have read, they say that the pagoda was build about 400 years ago. at beginning, bats come and live. the monks feed them and allow them to stay.

[KhmerBoi]

I have been there. I think that pagoda is rich. The mink work as capanter. The bat is live on the big b tall trees. The monk speak better Khmer then the mijority.
