lyrics

Thôn Trăng Mở Hội Trăng Tròn

Quê tôi
Có đàn, một đàn con gái
Xinh như là bóng trăng
Ca mừng trăng bóng tròn
Tang tình tang tính tang

Quê tôi
Có bầy, một bầy, em bé
Cứ như là đoá hoa
Ca mừng vui ánh trăng
Tang tình tang tính tang
Vang lừng vang xóm làng

Nhìn vầng trăng ta hát vang
Trời tự do, câu ấm no
Nhạc véo von, vui trăng tròn
Nhìn làn mây, tay nắm tay
Mừng năm nay, bông lúa xây
Trời gió hây, vui sum vầy
Mà nghe tiếng hò đâu đây!
Đồng quê hai tuổi trăng tròn

Nhìn vầng trăng xinh quá xinh
Mừng hồn trăng, tan chiến trinh
Trời ngát thương, hương thanh bình
Nào ai ơi, ai bán trăng
Một vầng trăng bao mến thương
Người bốn phương yêu nhau cùng
Kìa nghe không trong bập bùng

Quê tôi, bao chàng,
Là chàng trai cháng
Yêu trăng còn hơn gái tơ
Vui thì hơn sóng cơ
Ca mừng trăng ấm no
Lơ hò lơ hó lơ

Quê tôi, có người
Mẹ già ra ngóng
Thôn trăng mừng trăng hát ca
Vui niềm vui thái hoà
Đem đường, khoai, sắn, nha?
Ra tặng ai chút quà


The Village’s Full Moon Festival

My hometown… Has a group, a group of ladies
Pretty like the moonshine…
Chanting to celebrate the fullmoon
Tang tinh tang tinh tang

My hometown… Has a group, a group of children
They are like a flower… Chanting under the moonlight
Tang tinh tang tinh tang
Echoing through the village

Under the moon, I loudly sing
Peaceful sky, warm blessings
Melodious tunes, cheerful harvest moon
See the clouds, hand in hand
Bless the year, grains will grow
Chilled wind, a united joy
The sound of hò* chant is somewhere nearby!
My hometown has aged two full-moons

See the moon, so pretty it is
Harvest moon, send the war away
The sky shed tears, the smell of peace
Dear someone who sells the moon
A crescent full of fondness
One nation, let’s be in love
Can you hear it under the flickering lights?

My hometown, with the lads, the youthful lads
They love the moon more than the young ladies
The joy is more than a gigantic wave
Chanting under the fulfilling moon
Lo ho lo ho lo

My hometown, has an… An old mother who goes out to see
The village celebrating the full moon… Blissfully in peace
She brings sugar, potatoes and manioc… To cheerfully give away


* Hò: chanty is a popular musical genre that has existed in the Vietnamese culture since the ancient time. Its’ roots begin from the lifestyle of the people living at the plains, often expressing the feelings of the working class. A person who chant usually represent a collective on a task together, or can be used as a solo to express their emotion. During the harvest moons when a group of guys would hang out, they would usually use the chanty as a way to ask the girls about how they are doing. A fateful chanty connects the two sexes, usually in the form of a question-answer. When sailing on the boat, chanty can be used between different partie to flirt with the boat nearby.
