Here is a Hmong artist with music that I love. This one got me through some lazy days with its more upbeat tempo and lyrics about loving someone like there is no tomorrow. Love without regrets.
If you speak different languages, have you ever noticed how some words can never be fully translated into another language because the depth of the meaning does not carry over? Also, have you ever felt the cringe when it also doesn’t translate into another language well but it’s so meaningful in it’s original language? Both of these things happened while I was looking over the translation and trying to figure out if I wanted to make some changes to it or add clarification.
Kuv rov los txog qhov chaws nyob ntawm no
Tseem zoo li qub tab sim tsis muaj koj
Kuv tig qhov twg los pom Koj lub ntse muaj
Vim Kuv tseem nco Koj
Yog tau lub sijhawm los hlub Koj dua
Yuav hlub Koj kom txau siab tsim nyog
Ua zoo rau Koj mus txog tag ib txhis
Yog Koj tau hlub leej twg
Tsis txhob muab nws tso mus
Tuav nws nruj nraim ntawm koj ib sab mus
Ib txhis
Zoo li yog nws tsis muaj tag kis
Yog muaj ib hnub tau txoj hmoo
Los tau Koj nyob ntawm kuv xub nthiag
Ib pliag
Yuav tsis ua rau Koj tus siab ib zaum txim
Zoo li yog nws tsis muaj tag kis
Kuv tsis xav khuv xim lub neej no
Yog kuv paub tiam kuv ua rau Koj mob
Kuv tsis xav ua tus neeg dig muag
Yog Koj hais li cas kuv yuav ua
Yog Koj tau hlub leej twg
Tsis txhob muab nws tso mus
Tuav nws nruj nraim ntawm koj ib sab mus
Ib txhis
Zoo li yog nws tsis muaj tag kis
Yog muaj ib hnub tau txoj hmoo
Los tau Koj nyob ntawm kuv xub nthiag
Ib pliag
Yuav tsis ua rau Koj tus siab ib zaum txim
Zoo li yog nws tsis muaj tag kis
Yog Koj tau hlub leej twg
Tsis txhob muab nws tso mus
Tuav nws nruj nraim ntawm koj ib sab mus
Ib txhis
Zoo li yog nws tsis muaj tag kis
I returned to this place
It still looks the same, except you’re not here
Everywhere I turn I see your face
Because I still miss you
If given a chance to love you again
I will love you to my heart’s content
Be good to you until eternity
If you ever love someone
Don’t let them go
Hold them close by your side for
Eternity
Like there is no tomorrow
If there is a day fate
Allows me to have you before me
for a moment
I will never let you be sad (let you down) again.
Like there is no tomorrow
I don’t want to regret this life
If I know that I hurt you
I don’t want to be a person who is blind
If you say it I will do it
If you ever love someone
Don’t let them go
Hold them close by your side for
Eternity
Like there is no tomorrow
If there is a day fate
Allows me to have you before me
for a moment
I will never let you be sad (let you down) again.
Like there is no tomorrow
If you ever love someone
Don’t let them go
Hold them close by your side for
Eternity
Like there is no tomorrow
