[pmore141fuckutubelol]

In which grove do the trees destitute of leaves?

From a deep abyss hearing an invitation then waking up

Oh this lot of sand and dust,

Some ink stain erases it unheeded.

-the end- -translated by Le Uyen-

[pmore141fuckutubelol]

All these years being human's incarnation,

Suddenly one afternoon the hair turns white as lime.

The faded leaves high above fall profusely,

For a hundred years then dying one day.

Which sun illuminates my heart?

For the love is ground into cobble-stone.

Let me bury my face melancholically,

Each passing day tiredly waiting for good news. -translated by Le Uyen-

[pmore141fuckutubelol]

Sand And Dust

Which speck of dust became my incarnation?

For one day rising up into this grown shape.

Oh wonder sand and dust!

The sun illuminates a wandering incarnation.

Which speck of dust became my incarnation?

For one day I will return to sand and dust.

Oh worn sand and dust!

Some noise beats time inconsolably. -translated by Le Uyen-

[giangnhi1991]

hay quá, thank

[sunrise20able]

How many years of human life Suddenly an afternoon hair is turned white as lime Fallen leaves from high are filled For one hundred of years to die in one day Which sun enlightens my heart? For love grinds away into pebbles I look down melancholy For everyday passing wait in desperation for good news Which clusters of forest with ragged trees? From the deep abyss I heard the call Oh dust your position Any ink can remove you without any trace.

[sunrise20able]

From which dust comes my body?

Then one day grow up to a this shape

Oh great dust

The sun shed a lifetime wandering

From which dust comes my body

Eventually will comes back to the dust

Oh exhausted dust

Which noise is beating unceasingly?

[sunrise20able]

To MRgspro, This is the lyrics for you.

Oh great dust

Eventually will comes back to the dust

Oh exhausted dust

Which noise is beating unceasingly?

[sunrise20able]

To MRgspro, This is the lyric of the song Cat Bui, Author Trinh Cong Son From which dust comes my body? Then one day grow up to a this shape Oh great dust The sun shed a lifetime wandering From which dust comes my body Eventually will comes back to the dust Oh exhausted dust Which noise is beating unceasingly? How many years of human life Suddenly an afternoon hair is turned white as lime Fallen leaves from high are filled For one hundred of years to die in one day

[sunisshined]

Jesus said to his 12 students: I'm the Tree, you're the branch. If the Branch connect to the Tree there will come the Leaves and the Flowers will bloom. I will turn all your Feast into mourning and all your love song into the lamentation, you see but not seen, you hear but not heard and your life be pity end till you knee in the front of the Lord, who is Creator of Heaven and Earth

The Moon can't shine, sometime dark sometime light.

The Moon can't make the World go around. No Mercy in the Moon

[MRgspro]

I have reproduced the music to this song and a few others, after it, but Cat Bui was the first song I heard and was hooked on vietnamese music, ever since. I have actually grown to appreciate at least the artist himself, through the music end of it since, I don't read, write or speak vietnamese. I'm originally from Italy, but been leaving in the USA for over 21 years.

I would love to see an english translation. Anyone?

[thaikhuett]

@MRgspro it's quite hard to translate this song into Eng

[MRgspro]

@thaikhuett

Thaikhuett, I greatly appreciate your response to my request and your honesty. It's a real shame about the translation.

There is no doubt in my mind that, this is indeed a great and very well written song.

As I said, I recomposed the music because the feeling was just perfect.

[thaikhuett]

@MRgspro so, do u still need the translation. If so then i can try

[MRgspro]

@thaikhuett

Thank you again for the reply. I tell you what, if you can do that for me, in exchange, I send you the music I have reproduced and the original version of the song that I heard, to reproduce the music from.

I'll send you a private message with my personal email, if it's ok with you.

Thank you very much.

[MRgspro]

@thaikhuett

By the way, here are 2 others that I did without the vocals. The music again, is an exact reproduction and as always, they just feel right, are the titles:

Vi Do La Em

Tinh Khuc Cho Em

[thaikhuett]

@MRgspro haha, i really want to listen to the music u reproduced from this song. It's interesting that a foreigner is inspired by Cat Bui. I like the song pretty much. Now I'm quite busy so when i have time i ll translate. Do u mind waiting? :)) I also like "Vi do la em" (because that's you). I am not sure which song r u referring to "tinh khuc cho em". Is it the one that has the 1st sentence, "Như hoa đem tin ngày buồn ..."

[MRgspro]

@thaikhuett

I sent you the music at your gmail. Let me know what do you think and thank you for the translation.

[nbkhh]

Music is an expression of life - Tring Cong Son is a true musician.

@CucNamCham

Hon Khoai is one of the well-known landscapes of the southernmost province of Ca Mau, about 15kilometres from the mainland. Hon Khoai is a group of islets and the biggest island is called Hon Khoai.

Hon Khoai is a rock island with hills and forests including various kinds of precious wood such as Star wood. The wild natural landscapes attract tourists a great deal.

[cnnguyen2784]

Its good to hear and know:songs can be sung by others on in different ways.

This is also excellent performance.

Trinh Cong Son is one of the greatest song writers of our time.

His music is timeless

His song lyrics are very poetic, the lyrics are soul and mind wrenching.

[lucirz]

Vietnam has so many talented singers, including amateur ones. they all song great live.

[lucirz]

her voice is so soulful!!!!!!!!!!

[yndarjabelo]

man, where the fuck can i get Trinh Cong Son's song "Hat Tren Nhung Xac Nguoi". Please can anyone help me? i don't want the khanh ly version, i want the original version bad...

[lucirz]

isnt khanh ly's version the original?

[Xoimang]

it is.

[cnnguyen2784]

My favor version is Khanh Lys.

but it is different way to express the song.

Thanks so much for posting!

I wished that our friend, who posted or uploaded or sang or covered songs let people know who the original artists or singers are so people might be turned on to something they never knew. A lot of great singers or writers or composers or artists including amateur ones need to be recognized.

[dominicamy]

The vocalist is awesome!

[vietcongngu]

[nguyetca1985]

This is me who sang this song, one night over one year ago.

[HaiSaoBac]

Such a beautiful rendition you offered. The performance - that you and your accompanied guitarist played - reminds me great shows I saw in Lisboa and Seville.

[DuMaHCM]

Are you still singing?  Which bar/address. Thanks

[HaiSaoBac]

My Dear Alky Friend,you should look for neon signs such as Budweiser,Heineken in your 'hood where abundannt bars locate, and there, you can satisfy your sensational desire. You will find and understand the meanings of TrinhCongSon music, way, way, beyond your current level. How to get there????? By a heck of a lot of mental development, by looking into the messages in songs that the great humanistic Trinh Cong Son left behind.Too much for you to understand?? No problem. 24 Heinekens for you!!

[HaiSaoBac]

Obviously, this is a note to my friend with screen name DuMaHCM. Hope he found his bar by now.

[cnnguyen2784]

thanks.

Its good to hear and know:songs can be sung by others in different ways.

[DatKhoTheFilm]

Trinh Cong Son once starred in a full-length feature film during the Vietnam War era. See a clip and more info on my channel.

[lucirz]

i shed tears hearing this...when u listen to the lyrics and just let the music move u..its rely emotional

[vietcongngu]

Day la Y ien ca nhan : Bai hat hay qua ,noi len than phan con nguoi khong phan biet Chinh Kien,Mau Da,Chung Toc deu chung mot so phan nhu nhau (Lam Con Nguoi)

[Tarasbunba]

As a son of God, Trinh Cong Son wrote songs for ordinary people. 100 millions Vietnamese knew him, the fallen and the alive. No medal, no political recognition. But I am proud that I first recognized him with his song the first time I listened. His songs helped me through the war.

[lumpileben1]

As a German I lived in Saigon and Da Nang during and after the war. At that time it was forbidden to listen to songs of TRC because he was accused to be pro Communist. Shortly after the war he was forbidden by the Communist, because he was said to be pro Thieu regime. Please, think a bit before you give any comments and listen to the words which are beautyfull at a time where are many wars going on in the world and where is peace in Vietnam now. A dream TCS has dreamed for so long...

[SVVNhaingoai2010]

@lumpileben1

Time has proven that the songs by TRC live forever in our hearts. It is undeniable and that I think everyone of us - whether for or anti- - should treasure the set of songs generated and created by TRC. I was growing up in the 60's in VN and these songs live forever in my mind while spending several decades outside Vietnam. A country has suffered most during the war and after the war.

[DarkCuteWhiteAngel]

@SVVNhaingoai2010 khan?

[tommyhonger]

Can we all just rejoice in the beautiful song, the greatness that is "Vietnamese" You may try to enforce your political view in this forum, or you can praise a great Vietnamese musician that wrote some of the most profound songs, tell me my dear friend, which would bring Vietnamese people together?

[tommyhonger]

Is CS or Commies not also Vietnamese? An eye for an eye leave the whole world blind. Are you any better telling your fellow countrymen to eat shit and die?

[Solaris1986]

TCS wrote all those songs against the war not against anyone. He loved peace, he loved the life so that he hated the war. TCS never pointed out anybody's name on all those songs. He wrote about the war itself not the one who is in it. Just because you don't like those songs, it doesn't mean you have the right to deny the greatness of the other songs. Think about music itself and leave out politic, that's the only one way you can understand the true meaning of his music.

[sashisashisashi]

who is this singer,,,her voice is full of emotion,,,,just beautiful

[MaxPowerKill]

Im living in USA also but I never trust VNDH . Why r they still stife with Vnxhcn . Now we are living in freedom . Dont stife more ,

secondly, dont tell how us how to live our life

"Now, you want to free them? They probably do not need your help. Better shut up and tender your shame and be faithful to your new country." -- Do not put words in VNese mouths, let them speak, let them vote if they want CSVN. Who would want CS regime? Let them vote, you, and CSVN alike, use killing to impose CS regime. Stop telling ME SHUT UP, YOU SHAMELESS, YOU FAITHFULL to a rotten CS Regime, sucking blood of VNeses over 30 yrs. WHO ARE YOU telling me SHUT UP? EAT SHIT AND DIE YOU and CSVN.

[VoBiQuocGiaDaLatVNCH]

"But you probably are worst than the commis and TCS." EAT SHIT AND DIE. Worst than TCS betrayed his own people from the South where he was born and raised, nurturing his "music"? Who is worst than commis? pulling VNeses into war to impose rotten Communist Regime, making VNeses poorest, immoral society over 30 yrs, on and on. I am proud to be NON-COMMUNIST. Only enjoy TCS if loosing head for FEELING. I am glad out of the mess by CSVN, sorry for VN people still there. TCS Hypocrite!Coward!Evil!

[mptt1]

Enjoy TCS and Do Things to Preserve the Next Birth of Free-Spirited TCS. Free-Spirited TCS came out of Non-Communist VN soil. CSVN regime by nature let not anything like free-spirited TCS come-out and prospers. Uprooting CSVN-Vietnamese Communist for next birth of TCS-KL -- TOI OI DUNG TUYET VONG -- I AND THOU DON'T GIVE UP HOPES

[proudvietnamese]

How many free spirited TCS have we produce outside non communist Vietnam since 1975? Or only mot lu lai cang?

[VoBiQuocGiaDaLatVNCH]

Eat Shit And Die with Him, a traitor, Back Stabber ----- "only mot lu lai cang" , we thuong thuc any music but his, music of Back Stabber makes us nausea, vomit, enjoy it, "whoever you are, probably same kind with TCS"

[proudvietnamese]

I respect your feelings. But you probably are worst than the commis and TCS, and the BACK STABLERS Your language is vulgar full of anger and bitterness of a looser. TCS is a free spirited artist, and he has given us joys and reflections of our feelings whatever our and his feelings are. Freedom is just that. He deserves better than your comments. It has been 32 years since you have lost the "American war" (it took 28 years and the invasion of Iraq for me to realize it). Forget it and enjoy.

[proudvietnamese]

Let history judge the commis and the people like your self, the VNCH. GIA TAI CUA ME MOT LU DAI KHO (including me)

[proudvietnamese]

Good for you! You left your 70 million compatriots behind in 75, when your American friends abandoned you, you coward. Now, you want to free them?, day dreamer. They probably do not need your help. Better shut up and tender your shame and be faithful to your new country.

[VoBiQuocGiaDaLatVNCH]

Eat Shit And Die, Blood Sucker of same kind, CSVN and you alike, sucking blood of 80 millions Vietnameses, EAT SHIT AND DIE. DOWN DOWN CSVN FOR good, for BUILDING A PROSPEROUS VN. CSVN AND YOU EAT SHIT AND DIE
