lyrics

Sài Gòn

Dừng chân trên bến khi chiều nắng chưa phai,
Từ xa thấp thoáng muôn tà áo tung bay
Nếp sống vui tươi nối chân nhau đến nơi này
Saigon đẹp lắm, Saigon ơi! Saigon ơi!

Ngựa xe như nước trên đường vẫn qua mau
Người ra thăm bến câu chào nói lao xao
Phố xá thênh thang đón chân tôi đến chung vui
Saigon đẹp lắm, Saigon ơi! Saigon ơi!
Lá la la lá la
Lá la la lá la
Tiếng cười cùng gió chan hòa niềm vui say sưa
Lá la la lá la
Lá la la lá la
Ôi đời đẹp quá, tràn bao ý thơ

Một tình yêu mến ghi lời hát câu ca
Ðể lòng thương nhớ bao ngày vắng nơi xa
Sống mãi trong tôi bóng hôm nay sẽ không phai
Saigon đẹp lắm, Saigon ơi! Saigon ơi!


Saigon

Stopping by the port when the afternoon sun hasn’t faded,
From a far, glimmers of countless Ao Dai* coat-tails.
Many joyous lifestyles are hurrying to this place,
Saigon is so beautiful! Saigon oi**! Saigon oi!

A stream of vehicles flowing fast on the roads,
People coming out to the port with noisily greetings
The vast streets lead my feet to join the fun,
Saigon is so beautiful! Saigon oi! Saigon oi!
La la la la la
La la la la la
Laughters in the wind fused with endless joy
La la la la la
La la la la la
What a beautiful life, full of lovely meanings!

Writing these lyrics with a dearly love,
So my heart could trail back when I’m far away,
Reflections of today will live in me forever,
Saigon is so beautiful! Saigon oi! Saigon oi!


* Ao Dai: a traditional Vietnamese garment.
** Oi: a Vietnamese way to call for something in a lovely and excited manner

about

Saigon Supersound Compilations Frankfurt, Germany

Jan Hagenkötter a music-lover, producer and DJ released 2017 the Saigon Supersound Compilation Vol.1 as part of series that tells the story of a musical era in Vietnam that was almost lost. The so-called “Golden Music” period in the south of Vietnam, where – under difficult circumstances – a lively pop culture had developed and disappeared after the Vietnam war ended. ... more
