Mot Minh by Huong Giang
(Paris By Night 88 – Lam Phuong Duong Ve Que Huong)
English Translation
Waking up in the early dawn of morning;
looking around I see myself alone.
Outside the sun is blinding causingthe patches of birds to jerks.
Speaking of my sorrow who can
hear my grief and thoughts?
The lights shine through the leaves,
the fruits leave the stem of the tree.
Life is too short, why speak of my life.
The ray of the sun suddenly diminishes.
The path from the past is forgotten,
the lies you had to carries.
The fate of love is endless,
one love life is worthy enough.
Keep searching, for that love.
How longer until my hair turns gray?
How long until we meet and
we look dreamingly at each other.
Then what else can we offer each other?
Morning, afternoon, night I’m lonely.
The familiar path I won’t take;
looking at you is quite awkward –
because in my life I haven’t found my paradise.
Analyzing the song:
This song speaks about the life of songs writer, Lam Phuong, after getting old. After written so many amazing masterpieces Lam Phuong is obviously happy about the success of his music, but he wakes up every morning alone. The only friends and person/things he could chat and talk to are his birds that he own which I think is very sad. He wishes and longs for a happy family where he can love and cherish, but because of his love for music he had abandon his personal love life; leaving it to his next life.
Thoughts:
I thought that the song was so simple yet dramatically beautiful. It’s more than just a song it’s about Lam Phuong and his life – a poem or a biography. This was one of his best works because of the fascinating lyrics and the story it carries within. It also teaches you life moral; to live life and cherish everyone around you before you turn old because times flies. Picking this song to end the show of PBN 88 was a great idea because it’s represent and speaks up of Lam Phuong’s life. As for the singer, Huong Giang, I thought she did a tremendous job with the song because she has such a strong and demanding voice. More of the song review here.

(Paris By Night 87 – Talent Show Final)
English Translation
Listening to the weary night
makes all the worries disappear;
when the night has no colors.
When you arrive you bring the light;
so bright it makes my nightmare dreamy.
My hearts aches when you are far.
My soul is disaster when you lie.
Seeing you with another woman
and here I am alone – hurts badly;
my love – like the past.
[Chorus]
Wo Ai Ni, I love you.
Wo Ai Ni, I need you.
It hits me now that I have no more hope.
Our love has vanished with the glow.
Now you are in love with someone
else like you were in love with me.
Sour or spicy I’m now blind by the fog.
[Chorus]
My love, I love you.
My love, I need you.
It hits me now that I have no more hope.
Our love has vanished with the glow.
Analyzing the song
Basically this song talks about a girl mesmerizing and thinking about her love in the dark weary night – remembering how her loves brought happiness and sun shine to her darkest hours of her life. Her soul and heart is dedicated to this love; even the slightest mistake would break and destroy her life. Now she sees her love with another person kills and hurts her to the heart and soul. Blind by the love she wishes and pray for the love to glow and maybe one day he would come back by her side. However, she now realizes that their love had die and vanish just like the sun after sunset.
Thoughts:
This is one of my favorite songs sung by Tu Quyen because it matches the low sexy tone of her well. When I first heard her sang live I thought she sounded magnificent in real life and for me to once again listen to her sound equally beautiful – maybe even better – it makes me love her as a singer even more. The song ended the Talent Show Finale and I must say I couldn’t be happier because the song was unique, enjoyable, and just fun to listen to. Even though Tu Quyen is not the best singer out there, but I recommend the wannabes singers to listen, watch, and learn the way she present herself – she’s so loveable and sweet on and off screen which is also one of the reason so many fans loves her.

Vang Trang Dem Troi by Minh Tuyet(Paris By Night 86 – Talent Show Semi-Final)
English Translation
The beautiful moon shine in the sky
with the snow falling slowly down
as I sit here with tears on my cheeks
Living with love is a beautiful thing.
Hoping for you to be back by my side,
but my heart tells me you’re gone.
Leaving me sitting here alone looking at the moon.
The reflection of the shining moon
brings back great memories between us two.
The tender kiss we gave each other
was like a rose in my heart.
It’s so sad to be the one waiting
silently in the hollow nights.
Looking at the sky all I see is
the bright and beautiful moon.
Out love is now gone far away
like the full moon drifting away.
My tears are falling down
why. why. why my love?
Where are those beautiful days
when we share our loves.
How longer will we be apart?
With the full moon tonight
I have lost you forever.
Analyzing the song
The song speaks of a girl, Minh Tuyet, who sits and stare at the magnificent full moon and thinks about her love. As the snow floats slowly down from the sky, tears began to form in her swollen – red eyes. Hoping for the day where that person would come back into her arms. However, she knew that it would never happen because their love has vanished into thin air. Her love has beginning to drift away like the full and bright moon beginning to be covers by the dark clouds. Begging and hoping for that person returns, but she realize that she have lost him forever.
Thoughts:
Having Minh Tuyet to sing such a wonderful song was just great because this song need someone that could put their feelings and emotion into the song. Minh Tuyet extended the song and made it her own – best version thus far. Her pitch and note were close or even flawless. I understand that she was singing live and the microphone jacked up, but she still kept her cool and sounded fabulous. This song has wonderful lyrics and I just love this wonderful song.

Thoughts
What an excellent song choice for a tet show! I loved the song because of the cute acting from both Tu Quyen and Luong Tung Quang. Tu Quyen has impeccable comedic skills, priceless facial expressions, and a sweet singing voice. The lyrics of Thien Duyen are also very sweet and cute. The song “sounded” good and in fact, the lyrics are quite simple and it is a great thing. It’s an amazing song for tet show because it show how our older generation loves to go see a fortune teller.
