I want to be near/close to you.

It is a phrase I seen before in Cambodian film and karaoke. Usually has a romantic connotation.

no kabiy net = Nuv Kbaay neak = Nuo Kbay neak

It is spelled awkwardly as there is no standard romanization for Khmer. Hopefully that makes sense! If not I can send you a jpeg of it typed in Khmer!
