Motodop, O’ Motodop!

Motodop, O’ motodop My partner and my friend You'll be my true companion 'Cause I've got money to spend

"Hello, my friend, you need a ride?" I hear you shout and holler And though the price is 1000 Riel You'll ask me for a dollar

"O, t'lai nasa" I doth protest "It's very far," you say So I retort, "It's very close!" And start to walk away

At last we settle on a price, And in the end we smile, I hop on back, and we set off A thrill for every mile

O' motodop, my motodop! You're with me to the end My driver and my tour guide, I'll miss you much, my friend!

NOTES:

  • One US Dollar is approximately 4000 Cambodian Riel
  • “T’lai nasa” = “It’s expensive”
