lyrics

Xin Lễ Cưới Em

Ngày nào vừa quen anh nói với em
Hẹn hò tình yêu khi tiếng súng êm
Giờ này bình yên xin lễ cưới em
Họ hàng Mẹ Cha ăn miếng trầu duyên

Choàng vào người em chiếc áo cưới xinh
Tặng em nụ hôn âu yếm môi tình
Trời đẹp bình minh đang đón chúng ta
Hoà bình về đây vang tiếng tình ca

Nắng lên dắt em đi trên đồi
Tiếng yêu trao em thật nồng
Rồi cùng nhau ngồi kề vai trên viên đá
cùng mùng ca của tình yêu nay đã đến với ta

Một ngày bình yên không tiếng súng reo
Cuộc tình không chết trong tiếng reo neo
Mộng đẹp ngày mai thôi hết cheo leo
Còn gì đẹp hơn ta nói “tình yêu”!

Người yêu tôi hỡi tôi đón em đi
Về vùng tình yêu không có phân ly
Làm nhạc tình yêu em sẽ làm thi…
Nguyện cầu Việt Nam không vướng sầu bi!


Proposing To Her

When we just met, you used to tell me
Our love will blossom when the bullets soften
When peace has come, you proposed to me
Our parents share the fateful betel* together

Cover me with a beautiful wedding dress
Give me a gift of a warm blissful kiss
A beautiful dawn is awaiting us
Peace has come echoing of love songs

Take me on the sun-kissed hill
Your affection to me is so warm
Then we’d sit side by side on the rock
Happily singing that our love has finally come

A peaceful day without the gunfires
A love that won’t perish in grieving moans
Tomorrow’s dreams are no longer hazy
What could be more beautiful than love?

My darling, I will take you to,
Somewhere with no restricted areas for love
Where I will freely make the romantic songs
Praying that Viet Nam won’t longer be in pain


* In Vietnam, the areca nut and the betel leaf are such important symbols of love and marriage that in Vietnamese the phrase “matters of betel and areca” (chuyện trầu cau) is synonymous with marriage. Areca nut chewing starts the talk between the groom’s parents and the bride’s parents about the young couple’s marriage. Therefore, the leaves and juices are used ceremonially in Vietnamese weddings.

Jan Hagenkötter a music-lover, producer and DJ released 2017 the Saigon Supersound Compilation Vol.1 as part of series that tells the story of a musical era in Vietnam that was almost lost. The so-called “Golden Music” period in the south of Vietnam, where – under difficult circumstances – a lively pop culture had developed and disappeared after the Vietnam war ended. ... more
