A hobby

Hey guys. Today, I listened to an old song. I remembered a hobby of mine. So, I have something to write down what I am working on it right now. It is not much special. Anyway, just do it.

I really like translating English song lyrics to Vietnamese. The reason is I would like to apply romantic words, beautiful words in Vietnamese to that song. In particular, you know, we don't know exactly that word in English is what word in Vietnamese. Therefore, I am free to create as long as the meaning is relatively similar. It leads to what I wanna say. Is it interesting?

Let me give you an example.


When you tell me that you love me (Diana Ross ft. Westlife)  


I wanna hold you close under the rain.

I wanna kiss your smile and feel the pain.

I know what is beautiful looking at you

In a world of lies, you are the truth


Anh muốn ôm em thật chặt dưới những cơn mưa

Anh muốn hôn lên nụ cười của em và cảm nhận nỗi đau

Anh biết vẻ đẹp là thế nào khi nhìn vào em

Trong thế dưới đầy sự giả dối này, em là sự thật


I wanna make you see just what I was,

Show you the loneliness and what it does

You walked into my like to strop my tears

Everything is easy now I have you here


Anh muốn cho em thấy con người anh đã từng

Cho em thấy sự cô đơn và nó như thế nào

Em bước vào cuộc đời anh để ngăn lại những giọt nước mắt 

Mọi thứ giờ trở nên dễ dàng vì anh có em ở bên


There are many Viet subs version and interesting as well. I searched and write on my own subtitle.

It is totally opposite with the quotes. I really into quotes (You can find some quotes I have posted in this blog). You know what? I am fully aware of it only when I know what the Vietnamese mean. When I read in English once I have not known Vietnamese first. It is difficult to completely understand what it means. So, I would like to give sincere thanks to whoever translated the quotes. Having said that, quotes are more complicated than English songs. It combines many factors to fully aware that.

Make a poem to you

Journey to us Do  not know how long it will take But I believe that one day, I will see you I will no longer passively wait as I used to Not only because I am getting older  But because I am also wiser And will not settle down until I found you You  are all that I long for -  An understanding, a connection, a long-lasting I stand here with an effort, a hope and a resilience You deserve all of my dedication  And you are worth the wait To  enter my heart, simple but secret In short, you should work harder than me Invest more and strive beyond me Only then I will see you standing where I am Finding  you is not different principle as all thing in my life Everything worthwhile must be learned and earned Valuable things take time with consistent striving But I will not leave myself eventually My happiness and well-being come first Do not tell me I am selfish It is your choice and my decision For I strongly believe this is how love works I   carry a pure...

A girl likes winter. It reveals herself

I like winter. Is that so strange and weird to you? I like winter when I was just a little kid. I had no idea at that time but I did know I like the atmosphere during winter. I love we all family members gathered in the warm stove. I like how we tried to make us hot. I like to wear thick jackets, wool hat, scarf and socks. I love Christmas and Lunar New year coming soon in the winter. Having said that, I give a truly special feeling for winter season. Liking winter still exist wherever I go. I studied Bachelor in HoChiMinh City far from my hometown and there is no winter in this place. I felt there must be something missing here and it was true. I miss my hometown and miss the cool air in the winter. It's rare for me to see someone claim that their favorite season in the year is winter. I can tell winter is my favorite. I like the air, the atmosphere. I like to see all people put on their jacket and scarf in the street. Everything seems closer together than ever. A book mention abo...

Million years ago

>>>>>Lyrics<<<<<<< I only wanted to have fun Learning to fly, learning to run I let my heart decide the way When I was young Deep down, I must have always known That this would be inevitable To earn my stripes, I'd have to pay And bare my soul I know I'm not the only one Who regrets the things they've done Sometimes I just feel it's only me Who can't stand the reflection that they see I wish I could live a little more Look up to the sky, not just the floor I feel like my life is flashing by And all I can do is watch and cry I miss the air, I miss my friends I miss my mother, I miss it when Life was a party to be thrown But that was a million years ago When I walk around all of the streets Where I grew up and found my feet They can't look me in the eye It's like they're scared of me I try to think of things to say Like a joke or a memory But they don't recognize me now In the light of day I ...
