Merry Christmas !!!

Merry Xmas, tối nay vào SG đón giáng sinh rồi, tặng mọi người clip Hello Vietnam nghe cho ấm lòng đêm giáng sinh nhé.

Hello Vietnam
(singer: Pham Quynh Anh)


Tell me all about this name, that is difficult to say.
It was given me the day I was born.

Want to know about the stories of the empire of old.
My eyes say more of me than what you dare to say.

All I know of you is all the sights of war.
A film by Coppola, the helicopter's roar.

One day I'll touch your soil.
One day I'll finally know my soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.

Tell me all about my colour, my hair and my little feet
That have carried me every mile of the way.

Want to see your house, your streets. Show me all I do not know.
Wooden sampans, floating markets, light of gold.

All I know of you is the sights of war.
A film by Coppola, the helicopter's roar.

One day I'll touch your soil.
One day I'll finally know my soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.

And Buddha’s made of stone watch over me
My dreams they lead me through the fields of rice
In prayer, in the light…I see my kin
I touch my tree, my roots,my begin

One day I'll touch your soil.
One day I'll finally know my soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.

One day I’ll walk your soil
One day I’ll finally know my soul
One day I’ll come to you
To say hello…Vietnam
To say hello…Vietnam
To say xin chào…Vietnam

FLAVOR OF LIFE

Giáng sinh sắp đến rồi, tặng mọi người một nhạc phẩm nổi tiếng do ca sĩ Utada Hikaru (Nhật Bản) trình bày. Hy vọng đêm giáng sinh sẽ trở nên ấm cúng hơn với FLAVOR OF LIFE.
Bài này nổi tiếng đến mức các fan hâm mộ đã chuyển sang (cover) nhiều thứ tiếng khác nhau như English, Korean.

FLAVOR OF LIFE


Dưới đây là phần lời bài hát đã chuyển sang English (bản dịch để hiểu nội dung bài hát).

When you say thank you to me,
For some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesn't
Get undone even after the good bye.
A hint of bitterness.
The flavor of life

Stuck midpoint between friends and lovers,
Like an un-riped fruit dreaming about the day of harvest
Because of being unable to just move one more step forward
What's causing this frustration baby

When you say thank you to me,
For some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesn't
Get undone even after the good bye.
A hint of bitterness
The flavor of life

Sweet talk and tasteless conversations.
It sparks no interest in me
Even when things do not go the way you want
It doesnt't't mean you've thrown your life away

When asked ‘What's wrong?'
I answer ‘It's nothing'
The smile that disappears after goodbye
It's unlike me

The more I wish to believe in you,
For some reason it hurts even more
'I like you a lot' instead of 'I love you' sounds more like you
The flavor of life

The period when you suddenly remember the scent of someone you had almost forgotten
I want to be able to openly and honestly cherish the white purity of the falling snow more

A future tender and warmer than a diamond
I want to grasp it, in this limited time we have, I want to spend it with you

When you say thank you to me,
For some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesnt't't
Get undone even after the good bye.
A hint of bitterness
The flavor of life
