[@YourUserNameSucksx10]

*this is a song that makes me proud to be hmong because it hits hard in the hmong language* _keep up the good work nephews_

[@kmyang89]

Why is it that when the nyab of many years listened to this song, we cried? It's because this song speaks the wonderfulness of what it should be. To only find out that it only lasts for the 1st week. I love this song. I listen to this song for dreams and hopes.

My husband (he is Lao) and I have choose this song to be in our video. My husband LOVES this song and I sat for hours translating this song into English so he would understand how meaningful this song is. I explained to him what the chicken means, why they bow and everything. Just want to share my English Version with everyone : I have no life, if I have no you, traveled the world, all I think about is you, sometimes I wonder why I havent met you earlier, you shine like the sun, you make my heart weak, let them regret for not holding you tight, this is my turn, I welcome you home, my dad will bless us with the chicken today, happy to make you a house wife, for our wedding, I promise to love you, as I bow to your family, promise I will take you straight to my house,, today I shed a tear of happiness, all these blessings, our life begins today, walk our path together, don’t look back, carry the basket and carry the blanket, before we leave, remember to hug your mom, tell you dad to not worry about you, I promise them I wont let you hurt, only give you my all and my strength I welcome you home, my dad will bless us with the chicken today, happy to make you a house wife, for our wedding, I promise to love you, as I bow to your family, promise I will take you straight to my house, today I shed a tear of happiness, all these blessings, our life begins today, I thank god that I have met you, will love you forever, don’t be afraid that my love will disappear, please hold my hand and go with me today, you have a big heart, and patient like your father, look just like your mother when you smile, please rise our kids to have a personality like yours, I welcome you home, my dad will bless us with the chicken today, happy to make you a house wife, for our wedding, I promise to love you, as I bow to your family, promise I will take you straight to my house, today I shed a tear of happiness, all these blessings, our life begins today, I welcome you home, my dad will bless us with the chicken today, happy to make you a house wife, for our wedding, I promise to love you, as I bow to your family, promise I will take you straight to my house, today I shed a tear of happiness, all these blessings, our life begins today, always

*English translation* I won’t have a life with you. In this whole world, I will only be thinking of you. Sometimes I wonder why didn’t I meet you earlier You are so bright you make me heart soft Sometimes I even feel guilty for not holding you tighter Now it’s my time to do it I brought you today with a chicken to welcome us (this is the hmong tradition when the guy brings the girl to into his home) So happy to have you as my good house wife on our wedding day I promise you that I will love you I bow to you guys, promising that I will bring her home Today I dropped a tear for the good, for the blessings, our new life together begins today We have to watch our way, not looking backward So our kawn (hmong traditional basket) will follow our blanket Before we walk off, hug your mom Tell your dad not to worry about you I already promise not to hurt you Only to give you my all to you I brought you today with a chicken to welcome us So happy to have you as my good house wife on our wedding day I promise you that I will love you I bow to you guys, promising that I will bring her home Today I dropped a tear for the good, for all the blessings, our new life together begins today I pray to thank god that I got to meet you Will love you for eternity Please take my hand to go with me today You have a big heart and long temper, prettily like your dad Looking like your mom when you smile Please give birth to kids that looks like you I brought you today with a chicken to welcome us So happy to have you as my good house wife on our wedding day I promise you that I will love you I bow to you guys, promising that I will bring her home Today I dropped a tear for the good, for all the blessings, our new life together begins today (x2 chorus) (I know it’s not 100% correct but I tried 😂)

ENG LYRICS:: Rooj Tsoob (Wedding) (David) I don't have life if I don't have you Go all over the world but still think of you Sometimes I wonder why I haven't met you sooner You're sunshine, you soften my heart Maybe they cherished you, but they didn't hold you tight enough Now it's my turn CHORUS I brought you here My dad bought a chicken to receive us both today [[Hmong wedding tradition of receiving the bride, sounds much more romantic in Hmong lol]] Happy to bring you to be a good housewife For our wedding Promise that I will love you I bow to you both [[Bowing to bride's mother and father, asking for wedding blessings, and over all sign of respect and thanks]] Promise that I will bring her home [[literal translations: promise that I will bring her to reach home;; because of the long journey from bride's village]] Today I shed a tear For the goodness you both have blessed us with Our new life begins today (David) Walking our path, please don't look behind Carry our basket, hold on to our blanket [[Hmong tradition, gifts given to newly wed on their journey back to husband's village to start their new life]] So before we go we will remember to hug your mother Tell your father that he doesn't need to worry about you I already promised that I will never let you get hurt/sick Just that I will give you my heart and my energy CHORUS (Chenning) I thank God I've come to meet/know you Love you forever, don't be afraid that it will disappear/end Please accept my hand, come with me today You have a big heart And patience like your father You smile just like your mother Please give us children that has personality/attitude like yours CHORUS 2x [If I made a mistake, or anyone wants to add context, just let me know, i tried my best for non Hmong speakers lol]

[@rosabelly]

Thank you so much! 🙌

[@calijahhawj]

Translation is spot on! Great job!. If the music video was film more of a traditional wedding where we see him took his bride home and dad received them both with a blessing and bowing to bride parents at the wedding that would be awesome! Regardless it's still awesome. 😅

Wow this song is so touch. But it so true that the person you love always turned thing around and did the thing you never think they would do? It hit the heart so much to painful in a way you would never knew it should felt. Why do we always felt like it should mean anything that it doesnt even know how to feel bout those certain kinds of thing? Or should we just not even thought it in that way to begin it with?
