Downpours help Phnom Penh to get its new name,
Up high, the highest of its fame,
The magic rains change the streets to rivers,
Cars, m'bikes, all become swimmers.

O City of Pearl gets what's so famous,
Boasted of being prosperous,
You are in the dubbed "Kingdom of Wonder"
Of face immersed under water.
Boasted of being prosperous,
You are in the dubbed "Kingdom of Wonder"
Of face immersed under water.
Surely not like Venice in Italy,
Under water, it's real beauty,
From Phnom Penh, 'tis completely different,
Here, floods, sewage, filth -- no comment.

From Phnom Penh, 'tis completely different,
Here, floods, sewage, filth -- no comment.
May you not be buried under water,
And lost like Atlantis fore´er,
Nowhere can the City be found as though,
None of us as of now would know.
And lost like Atlantis fore´er,
Nowhere can the City be found as though,
None of us as of now would know.
