Lyrics
[Verse 1] Sampeah — hands together, head bowed low A greeting older than the temples know Respect and kindness in a single sign A Khmer tradition standing strong through time [Chorus] Sampeah, Sampeah The way we say hello Palms together, gentle bow Sampeah, let the kindness flow [Verse 2] From grandma's house to Angkor's sacred ground This greeting carries love without a sound A stranger smiles and presses palms with grace The world feels warmer in this gentle place [Chorus] Sampeah, Sampeah The way we say hello Palms together, gentle bow Sampeah, let the kindness flow [Bridge] Chum reap suor — we welcome you With open hearts and skies of blue One simple gesture, worlds unite Sampeah, everything feels right [Outro] Sampeah, Sampeah The Khmer way to say I care
