@portlandlovely : y'r not Vietnamese, aren't you. If not, I'm more than happy to tell you that the song is about the gorgeous beauty of Saigon, my birth place, my home. Enjoy!
@portlandlovely its about how beautiful saigon is, since many people had to escape saigon because of communism, saigon isn't there anymore but the nostalgia is still pretty much there
For those who haven't been to Saigon ever or since the war it is still pretty much called "Saigon" there despite what's on maps. Even the official Vietnam Airlines uses SGN as the city destination. Their version of Greyhound Bus has SAIGON as the destination. The government office is Saigon Tourism. I could go on...
@zero00tolerance actually they changed it from Sai Gon (from the French when they took over Vietnam) to Thanh Po Ho Chi Minh City (TPHCMC). The local people their still refer to the city as Sai Gon, because the people who still live in Vietnam and failed to leave the country don't support the communist government. They have no choice but to keep quiet because those who speak out or stand up against the communist government will be imprisoned and possibly even executed.
Cộng sản lên đổi tên là Lenigrad,Stalingrad, TP.Hồ chí minh v v...nhưng xem kià ,một cơn sóng quét qua thì mấy cái grad đó giờ biến mất dù nó đã bám được 70 năm. Sài gòn thân yêu ơi,một ngày nào đó trời quang mây tạnh thì Sài-Gòn sẽ trỡ lại tên xưa!
@Vietnamese742 : Hà Nội (Thăng Long xưa) là long mạch mà tổ tiên ta đã chọn để khai quốc đó bạn! Bạn có biết câu : " Ai về Bắc, ta đi với. Thăm lại non sông giống Lạc Hồng". Giống Lạc Hồng được sinh ra từ đâu thì bạn biết chứ? đừng bao giờ nói từ người Việt trong cái cụm từ của bạn! Tp. Hồ Chí Minh (Sài Gòn) là một thành phố năng động, mãi xứng đáng là trung tâm kinh tế của Việt Nam mình, Hà Nội là trung tâm văn hóa của người Việt bởi từ đây mà người Việt khai cơ lập nghiệp.
Sẵn cho hoi? them la tren TG co nuoc nao bi chien tranh chi sau 35 nam ma tro thanh nuoc giau co trong top 10 TG khong?! Tất nhiên không phải VN. Vietnam chỉ nằm trong top 5 những nước có tốc độ phát triển nhanh nhất TG thôi.

Saigon is what put Vietnam on the world map, HCMC is such a stupid name. Firstly, the city's residents were mostly anti-communist, secondly HCM had nothing to do with the city
Saigon or Sai Con has its root in a Khmer word Prei Kor (Kapok Tree Forest). In actuality, Saigon and the rest of the Mekong Delta area used to be Cambodia's land.
@iv0va All I've seen are monkeys that traversed the Truong Son mountain :P
I bet you were 1 of those monkeys that mistook the toilet bowl for cleaning vegetables, and proudly told us humans that radio and TVs run all over streets in Hanoi after April 30, 1975.
Big difference between 2 cities' naming after their country's most famous founding fathers. George Washington was the real revolutionary, while HCM was acting as a COMINTERN agent (committing genocide against his own people through the Land Reform campaign, killing the vietcongs and innocent south VNese through the Tet Offensive, etc.). Americans would be aghast upon reading your comparing HCM to Washington.
@toiacvietcong Washington is a great American Revolutinarist and then became President of the NewFound American. Perhaps I could lecture you on Western Civilization and a little of the U.S.A History up to the Revolutionary. You cannot compare HCM to Washington! HCM would be a midget or a hermit compare to Washington. HCM is probably doing time at the 5th level of hell right now!
@emRongVAanhNguoiNui There are historians who say that Washington was pro-slavery and was very dictatorial. In Vietnam people do not give a damn Washington and Ho Chi Minh has been worshiped as a family god. US people think Washington was a great guy, so the vietnamesse do about HCM. Never you will be convinced each other otherwise.
@toiacvietcong Shut the fuck up with your failed american politics , Hochiminh beaten the France out of indochina , he asked for american supports for independence of Vietnam and peace, yet america turned him down ,split the country in half , so he was forced to make ally with Communist Soviet and China .America only ask for peace ,and agreed to provide support when they knew they were fighting a fight that they couldnt win,and after bombing the fuck out of vietnam.Fuck washington , who cares?
@toiacvietcong The communist will not be overthrown in a long time. Most communist were from the north and now have migrated all over the map. If you go to any city in central and south vietnam you will hear many people speaking with northern accent. Also China will support the Vietnam Communist Regime (Thats how the north won against the south in the first place...with China's support but you dont hear much of that being spoken).
@BboyChunGViN No dictatorships last forever. So long the VCs keep stealing people's properties & render the majority of VNese lives unbearable with oppressive laws & measures, it's only a matter of time before everybody will rise up.
@toiacvietcong it is very difficult to overthrow now because anyone that speaks bad of it is sent to prison. the majority of the people in Vietnam are also very poor. Meaning they work one day so they can provide one days meal... the government do the economy like this purposely so that the people do not have the financial resources to think of overthrowing the government. The people can only focus on one thing, and that is survival. Even if a war start, China will help the VC. USA no power now.
@BboyChunGViN Vietnam just allowed 20% of election votes to go to non-communist party members, compared to less than 7% previously . Ho Chi Minh created a democratic state in the first place ,and he was running socialist party ( communism is the ultimate,and also the most unrealistic stage of socialism ). I think Vietnam will eventually get back to democracy again, yet it can't be done suddenly, or an overthrown ,else all would be gone to chaos, war, and foreign occupation
@toiacvietcong communism is perfect in theory and unpractical , yet VNCH was one of the most authoritative , fascist , barbaric, corrupted government ever created . If you love Vietnam as your motherland , quit fucking projecting all the negativities, failures of VNCH government to the current government . Even the US has to conclude that VNCH was the biggest failure during their involvement in vietnam . get some national identity , and quit bitching at the situations.
gameover....you must not be vietnamese, coz this song is a Southern song, so does not make sense when you say the accent killed the song. It would be like saying Ha Noi mua thu is spoiled by a northern accent...but learn some more vietnamese and you ll understand...
if you noticed most songs are sung in north dialect. Of course their are songs that just have to be sung in southern dialect like "em di tren co non" or some other song that must be sung in central dialect like "mua tren pho hue." besides southern ppl are too dumb to write their own song. most songs that were written in the south were composed by northerners. i prolly know more vietnamese then you do anyways, but your opinion is as fair as mine thank you.
you answered had nothing to do with the song saigon dep lam, but even if it did, it s stupid to say it was spoiled by any accent...you got no clue who wrote it anyway. I am sure you never heard it sung in any bac accent. Stick to what you know, and if you know more vietnamese good for u! It s simply dumb to say whether northerners or southerners are smarter or not. This is beside the point and quite childish. no matter what you may say after that posting...GAME OVER (what a name)
