I haven't made a video for a while. It's getting rusty on me. Life has been busy, yet peaceful. I just want to dedicate this piece to a special someone.

Song arranged by Vo Ta Han

Trinh was dubbed the "Bob Dylan of Vietnam" by American singer Joan Baez. Trinh music is the most influential in Vietnam. He wrote over 600 songs, his music was banned during the war. I grew up listening to his music from my parents' stereo. He is known for his lyrics, so insightful and mysteriously fitting with life. After his death at 62 years of age, thousands of people including government officials honored him at his funeral. Cafes, music clubs, and younger generations still adore his music, which seem to be endless and ageless.

Lyrics;
Tôi ru em ngủ một sớm mùa đông
Em ra ngoài ruộng đồng
Hỏi thăm cành lúa mới
Tôi ru em ngủ một sớm mùa thu
Em đi trong sương mù gọi cây lá vào mùa

Con đường thật buồn một ngày cuối đông
Con đường mịt mù một ngày cuối Thu
Em vào mùa Hạ nắng thắp trên cao
Và mùa xuân nào ngẩn ngơ tình mới
Đi nhẹ vào đời thầm thì gót chân
Em gọi nụ hồng vừa tàn cuối sân
Nghe tình chợt buồn trong lá xôn xao
Để mùa xuân sau mua riêng tình sầu

Tôi ru em ngủ một sớm mùa xuân
Em hôn một nụ hồng
Hỏi thăm về giọt nắng
Tôi ru em ngủ hạ cũng vừa sang
Em hôn lên tay mình để chua xót tình trần.

  • Cháu chơi nhạc - như thế nào chú ko biết ?

    Nhưng chú cảm thấy rất thanh thản, bình an: khi nghe ~ nốt nhạc cháu độc tấu, khi nhìn cháu trình diễn.

    Very simple in the performance manner. Played each note with special care - full hearted - by Khiêm Trần !

    Background setup: very artistic !

    Thanks though !
