Hoàng Thuỳ Linh - Em Đây Chẳng Phải Thuý Kiều (I Am Not Thuy Kieu) (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
Many days without talking
Where are you now?
How happy we were
How thoughtful we were
But now there is no more
I've been waiting
For your confession
Did you really love me?

If you kept going and finding new places
If I kept loving you and waiting for you at our home
If we had to be apart in the future, would you be happy?
If I kept naive as I had used to be
Still believed in you even when I felt sad sometimes
Then, you would have hurriеd to give your love and warmth to the othеr

[Chorus]
I am not Thuy Kieu
Jail my youth to wait for your love
You gave me your kiss but you didn't want me
After a hundred years, Kieu was still Kieu
But I didn't want to take the risk of loving you
Please leave me, give me back my peace

Huh-huh-huh-huh
Oh-bae-bae-bae-bae-bae
Huh-huh-huh-huh
Oh-bae-bae-bae-bae-bae
Huh-huh-huh-huh
Oh-bae-bae-bae-bae-bae
Huh-huh-huh-huh
Oh-bae-bae-bae-bae-bae

[Verse 2]
You shouldn't be like that
My lip color were fading
Bewildering and sad night
Although the moon was shining
Looking at the blurry surface of the lake
I only just saw it
Your moon in the night sky
However, you saw lots of twinkle stars

If you kept going and finding new places
If I kept loving you and waiting for you at our home
If we were apart, would you've been happy?
If I kept naive as I used to be
Still believed in you even when I felt sad sometimes
Wouldn't you've given your love and warmth to the other?

[Chorus]
I am not Thuy Kieu
Jail my youth to wait for your love
You gave me your kiss but you didn't want me
After a hundred years, Kieu was still Kieu
But I didn't want to take the risk of loving you
Please leave me, give me back my peace

[Outro]
I am not Thuy Kieu
