Lyrics
Rượu nồng cạn chén bên người Tình ái ấm nồng chứa chan Mong thời gian thôi ngừng không trôi nữa Mãi đêm nay ta bên người Sao thời gian cứ trôi mau Sao rượu nồng bỗng chua cay Sao tình còn đang ngất ngây say Mà chợt nghe sầu ngăn cách Anh ơi uống đi anh Giọt đắng thấm tràn khoé môi Lệ nào chớ rơi Đường khuya vắng Âm thầm đi về Rượu nồng cạn chén bên người Tình ái ấm nồng chứa chan Mong thời gian thôi ngừng không trôi nữa Mãi đêm nay ta bên người Sao thời gian cứ trôi mau Sao rượu nồng bỗng chua cay Sao tình còn đang ngất ngây say Mà chợt nghe sầu ngăn cách Anh ơi uống đi anh Giọt đắng thấm tràn khoé môi Lệ nào chớ rơi Đường khuya vắng Âm thầm đi về Sao thời gian cứ trôi mau Sao rượu nồng bỗng chua cay Sao tình còn đang ngất ngây say Mà chợt nghe sầu ngăn cách Anh ơi uống đi anh Giọt đắng thấm tràn khoé môi Lệ nào chớ rơi Đường khuya vắng Âm thầm đi về
English Translation
The strong wine drains the cup with you, Warm love overflows, Wishing time would stop flowing. Tonight we're with you Why time goes by quickly Why strong wine suddenly becomes bitter Why love is still ecstatic And suddenly sad The way Brother, drink it, Bitter drops fill the corner of your lips Don't shed any tears Late at night Quietly go home The wine is empty with your cup warm Love is overflowing Wishing time would stop passing Forever we'll be with you tonight Time goes by so fast Why is the strong wine suddenly sour Why is love still ecstatic But suddenly hearing sadness separates you, drink it Brother Bitter drops fill the corner of your lips Don't shed any tears Late at night Quietly go home Why time goes on Go quickly Why strong wine suddenly becomes bitter Why love is still ecstatic But suddenly heard sadness separates brother, drink it Bitter drops seep into the corner of your lips Don't shed any tears Late at night Quietly go home

She became one of the most popular overseas Vietnamese singers, in a variety of music genres, and presenting over 800 songs and over 40 video clips. Her humble personality endearing her to audiences.
In 1994, at a concert, the audience noticed that her singing was less flexible than usual. Failing health had been affecting her. She married Kelvin Khoa later that year.

What a beautiful 21st year passing anniversary for the beautiful and talented singer Ngoc Lan. Your very kind thought, Chris, is great. Although Ngou Lan is in Heaven I am pretty sure she appreciated your very kind thought very much. Thank you for sharing the beautiful song, the beautiful video images and all the wonderful informative notes, Chris.

such a lovely lady singing beautifully

[@zzenzero]

Thank you very much for your lovely words for Ngọc Lan. Much appreciated. Bless you Kieth&Yannah. :o)

[@surapone1]

I like the music as much as her singing. The sound of the first trumpet is very bright and clear. The musical arrangement and performance could probably be comparable to a Western standard.

[@zzenzero]

Thank you for another insightful comment. Yes, Ngoc Lan's musical accompaniment is excellent. One of my favourite recordings of hers. Bless you Surapone. :o)
