My dear friends,

This is a Vietnamese folk song – Kho Mu folk song. Kho Mu is the ethnic minority in northern Viet Nam. “Rain falls” is the name of the song, “phôn tốc” in Kho Mu language.

I think this song is very nice.

In this lyric, there is a sentence that surprises me and I really enjoy it. It is the final sentence: “Watching them makes us full”.

What is the meaning of “watching them makes us full”? Oh, only  watching the rain, the beautiful forest, a couple of spotted doves… is enough to make us full?!   Kho Mu people’s watching is interesting.

I love the Acapella version in Sor Art clip. In this clip, I can hear the voices of birds, goats, rivers… It is interesting!

I also love other versions.

Let’s enjoy.

Have a full day.

Thu Huong,

Rain falls – Kho Mu folk song (Viet Nam)
Writers: Prof To Ngoc Thanh and Mr Van Nhu

Rain falls, the trees refresh and the buds grow out among the leaves and the branches
Beautiful forest, hundreds of flowers flutter in the wind, fly the butterflies
Giggles by the upland fields, boys and girls are playing
At the end of the outer floor * a couple of spotted doves coo, challenging the swallow couple to dance too.

Rain falls, the flying bird wets its wings and gets trapped in the forest
Bobbing bobbing, who go fishing at the stream, water pushes water by the banks.

Over the upland fields hovers the scent of yellow sticky rice, bamboo shoots also rise up smiling
Wildly the scent flies with the wind…
Roasted bird and aromatic sticky rice
Watching them makes us full…

• The stilt-house: This is the common house of the ethnic minority in mountainous in the north of Viet Nam

Mưa rơi

Mưa rơi cho cây tốt tươi búp chen lá chen cành
Rừng đẹp trăm hoa rung rinh theo gió, bướm tung cánh bay vờn
Bên nương ríu rít tiếng cười bao trai gái đang nô đùa
Đầu sàn có đôi chim cu gáy, thách đôi én cùng múa vui.

Mưa rơi chim ướt cánh bay nó sa bẫy trong rừng
Dập dìu ai đi đơm cá bên suối, nước xô nước ven bờ.

Trên nương hương thơm nếp vàng, măng cười hé vươn lên cùng
Ngạt ngào hương thơm bay bay theo gió…
Những chim nướng cùng nếp thơm
Nhìn mà no…
