My mother's favorite song when we first came from Cambodia. She passed away several weeks ago. We use to sing it and it helped us learn the American language. Love and miss you mom, may you find the enlightened path to peace, prosperity and nirvana.. God bless your soul!

My Cambodian mom also liked this song (i think there was a lynda trang dai version?), I always associate it with her.

When my only son, Alvaro, was born in 1979, I used to sing this to him so often. Now he's an adult and today, 8/4/2019, he sent this to me, remembering that I used to sing it to him when he was a kid. Gee, I wish it was possible to go back in time to 1979, the happiest day of my entire life was the day my son was born on December 13, 1979.
