Nco Txog Hmoob - Xf. Txawj Pes Vaj & Fishermen's Project (Live Session) [Lyric Video]

While we were doing our VBS in Thailand last year, we got the chance to meet Xf Txawj Pes and the wonderful (& talented!) kids of his foundation. During the open mic time, we heard this song by Xf Txawj Pes and we were captivated by it! We’re so glad to have had the opportunity share this song together with you all! May the wonderful memoir of this song give you a humbling perspective of a simple and beautiful early life!

ENGLISH Lyrics:
I still remember the Hmong house that sits on top of the mountain
The house of bamboo and leaves in the jungle
My old Grandma and Grandpa sitting by the fire in the kitchen
Mom waking to cook breakfast before the dawn
When I think about it, it brings me so much joy.
Even though during those times we were so poor
We would play around in front of our father
When I think about it, a tear falls down
If there is one day
If I have a chance to go
I want to return and see that home covered in leaves
If there is one day
If I have a chance to go
I want to see that home with the roof made of leaves
I still remember when the leaves shed in the fall
Missing when the wind blew through my hair
Having no electricity and no running water
Bathed in cold water, no hot water at all
When it rained we slept so well
We all slept on one bed, right next to the guest bed
The fireplace smoked and filled the whole house
When I think it about it, it makes me miss life when I was little
If there is one day
If I have a chance to go
I want to return and see that home covered in leaves
If there is one day
If I have a chance to go
I want to see that home with the roof made of leaves
One more time
Today the Hmong have come to live in the city
Having houses, living with others in the heart of the city
Every household having a TV and a refrigerator
Having internet and living a successful life
The little boy has a cell-phone like the others
Laying down, playing with their iPhone
This life now is not like the past
When I think about it, my tears keep rolling
If there is one day
If I have a chance to go
I want to return and see that home covered in leaves
If there is one day
If I have a chance to go
I want to see that home with the roof made of leaves
One more time

I was not born in Laos, and I can never fully grasp the struggles my parents and those before endured. It is great pleasure to listen to this song because the lyrics paints a vivid image of a story as you listen. Through his voice and passion in singing, it takes me to a forgotten but famillar place my parents always tell me about. This song puts me in a scenery of me standing on a luscious green hill; overlooking a small village on a early morning with careless children playing outside with their hand woven clothes that are stitch from the wrinkle hands of their grandmas. It is nostaglic song; allowing us to deeply feel and see through his lens of the place he once called home. The lyrics are so powerful because although you're not there physically, it takes you there spiritually. This is important for us all, because this allow us all to realize our roots and appreciate our identity, our culture, and where we came from.

I was born in Laos, migrated to Thailand, and came to the USA at the age of 10. I was old enough to experience all the things in this song. Bring back so much memories. My wife was born in the USA, and she cannot relate. I would tell her how I miss the simple lifestyle back in Thailand. Sitting around the bonfire, listening to the old folks telling stories. Eating grill corn. Sleeping and hearing the rain drop hitting the tin roof. Life was so good and simple. Even though we were poor, we all have each other.

[@JShijiAdison]

This song takes me back to my childhood in the refugee camp in Thailand. Bitter and sweet moments when we as the minority faced so many intricate situation with the Thai people in the camp. We were treated like animals and we never allowed to get out of the camp but stayed within the camp. Young girls was raped by Thai security or police yet we couldn't do anything but keep it to ourselves. I get emotional while listening to this song and it hurts me so much. Torn my heart into pieces. Thank you Lord, for giving us the opportunity to be here in this country to better ourselves. A land full of great opportunities and we can chase after our dream and do whatever makes us feel comfortable like home.

Every time I think bout it I hate Thai people so much. I hate them for the shit they put us through and the respect we didn’t get from them. They treated us like animal.

I love Hmong christian song. This song bring me tears, it remind me when we were in Thailand when we were in refugee Camp at the end of the seventies... so when our parents lost everything in Laos at the end of the secret war. we didn t have that much to eat, we lost family, we lost friends because of malnutrition and sickness back then when escaping Laos... some moved to France, USA, Australia, french... Guyana... now some us 4000 sqft home or even over, some became millionaire, doctor , lawyers... but when we think about old times it still me sad and make me realize how lucky our generation and future hmong generation are... because there is hope, and there is someone who look after us hmong from Heaven...

Great lyrics, emotion and range. I was just 6 when we fled Laos, but my childhood memories of our village have been seared into my mind. I remember them as if the memories were from yesterday. As an American Soldier and more specifically Iraq and Afghanistan combat veteran, I have seen many times over how war tears families apart and uproot them from their homes flinging them around the world. My childhood experience in Laos during wartime really helped me empathize with the people of the Middle East and S.W. Asia. How they must also miss their homes....even if they were no more than just tents in the desert. God bless you for such a heartfelt song evoking powerful memories of young and old alike....all of us yearning for our roots.

Showing videos of trees, their land, kids, grandmas, lovers & especially their beautiful gardens!

ชอบอ่ะ อธิบายเห็นชัดเลย เหมือนเล่าเรื่องในเนื้อเพลงเลย. บางเพลงพอจะเล่าเรื่องในเนื้อเพลงจะทำให้เพี้ยน แต่เพลงนี้เข้ากันได้ดีมาก ชอบมากคับ

Love love love this song. I can only imagine what the past generations of Hmong families had to go through. Thank you for helping to remind us to appreciate what we have now and to never forget where we came from.

Whoever dislike this song is not a human being. God bless pastor txawj pes and his family. Thanks for making this sad beautiful lovely song. The first verse brought tears to my eyes and penetrated through my heart deeply.

Powerful message in this song. Though I’ve never been back. This song paints a gallery of memories lost to me. I can only imagine the simpler life granted to my parents generation before the war tore their land apart. Thank you for composing this song.

When you can relate to a song about a life you never had.....

[@hawjsta]

I was born in U.S and this song makes me want to walk the places my parents have walked, to see what parents have seen. One day...

[@bnyang84]

Out of a few hmong songs I bump, this is the only track my 18 month old child loves to sit and listen to. Thanks for sharing and nice collab btw. God up top.

[@TheVang86]

hmongster84 my 16 month old son loves this song too. Gets his attention every time the song comes on. I joke with my wife that it probably makes him think of his past life in Laos. 😅

[@xlyct12345]

What a beautiful song!! I teared up each time I listened to it. I can relate to it and miss my parents very much, and thought of many hmong people that lived the life described in his lyrics.

[@pangkoulor9698]

I truly love this song by Xf.Txawj Pes! Thank you guys for making this song even more beautiful, and rerecording it!! I love the fact that you guys are able to help modernize Hmong songs and turn it into something even more meaningful to the younger generation. It really puts me into my parents shoes and appreciate what they went through to come here. God is good. God bless you guys, great workmanship. Keep it up!

This song makes me miss my dad so much. Growing up, my dad told my siblings and I many stories of his childhood and how much he misses his homeland. He always said that he wants to go back and see Laos and almost did, until 2 years ago when my dad had a stroke. My dad is currently fighting the stroke and is recovering in a Rehab center. And every time we visit my dad, he would always point for our phones to open KZbin and show him videos of Hmong villages in Laos. And every time he sees the videos of Laos, he would cry because he misses his homeland. This song is beautiful. I hope to hear more songs like this❤️

[@lenalena1586]

Stumbled across this by accident and what a beautiful piece of artwork. Brought bittersweet tears to my eyes just thinking about how these thoughts must run through our parent's minds. I absolutely enjoyed this slow and steady beat and the lyrics are just amazing! Well done capturing the humble lives that our Hmong people inhabited! 💖

[@PobtxhaXyooj]

Listen to this song remind me of all the stories my parents tells me when i was growing up.
