Lyrics & Translation

Dive into the expressive world of Vietnamese language through "Đoạn Tuyệt Tình," a classic Bolero performed by the legendary Vũ Linh and Phượng Mai. This song offers a beautiful gateway to understanding emotional vocabulary and poetic phrasing in Vietnamese, making it special for its heartbreaking narrative and the masterful delivery by two iconic voices in Cai Luong.

[English]
Bright as fairy wings along the river,
sorrow rising deep within,
heartache flowing in tears.
A vow of faithful love,
I am the one who loves you so.
Old hatred fades away,
my dear, welcome the joyous reunion,
with me beside you,
forever never apart, the torch of our love’s flame.
Unresolved hatred lingers, Đồ Lư fears the pain.
La Thông, like a pledge, makes Lady Tứ Lư grieve sadly.
The beauty will follow the king’s horse.
Oh Đồ Lư!
Living with you, offering fragrant warmth.
Aged like the peach blossoms,
choking on the parting tears.
Secret worries, hidden sorrows.
Forever sworn not to leave Đồ Lư, heart devoted to you,
don’t be angry with La Thông.
Welcome the joyful union.
La Thông, my love, passion refined through shared moments.
Don’t let the first promise break in vain.
To whom have you given the dream of harmony?
The taste of passion, bright fireworks, rosé wine,
the bride greets the deceptive love beside her groom.
Butterflies play among fragrant blooms, whispering joy,
silk and brocade woven long.
