[English]

Tell me that you keep me safe and

Never let this fade away

I'm hidin' out, so they don't see this part of me

Girls like me don't cry

Girls like me pretend we don't cry

Girls like me don't cry

Girls like me pretend we don't cry

Tell me that you keep me safe and

Never let this fade away

Girls like me don't cry

Girls like me pretend that we don't cry

Em không muốn là phải âu sầu (oh no)

Em không muốn là phải chờ lâu (oh no)

Nếu như có một phép nhiệm màu thì em mong bình yên như lúc đầu (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Sao nước mắt lại rơi như thế? Em vẫn luôn tỏ ra mạnh mẽ

Đem chuyện buồn và giấu đi vào không gian ngập tràn tiếng ca, yeah

Hứa với em anh sẽ không ơ thờ

Đến và đi tựa như giấc mơ

Thức giữa đêm và nắm tay em này, baby boy

Girls like me don't cry (oh, yeah)

Girls like me pretend we don't cry (my baby)

Girls like me don't cry

Girls like me pretend we don't cry (yeah, yeah)

Tell me that you keep me safe and

Never let this fade away

Girls like me don't cry

Girls like me pretend that we don't cry

They say, "Girl, don't cry" (don't cry)

Try to keep my head up high (up high)

Smile like it's alright

But all I want to do is hide

Gotta let it go

Don't wanna keep this all inside

Girls like me don't cry

Girls like me pretend we don't cry (oh no, we don't cry, baby)

Girls like me don't cry

Girls like me pretend we don't cry

Hứa với em anh sẽ không ơ thờ

Đến và đi tựa như giấc mơ

Girls like me don't cry

Girls like me pretend that we don't cry

Key Grammar Structures

• Never let this fade away

  ➔ Causative Verb 'Let' with Negation

  ➔ The structure "never + let + object + bare infinitive" means to strongly prohibit or prevent something from happening. Here, "never let this fade away" means to ensure that 'this' (the feeling, the moment) is absolutely not allowed to disappear.

• I'm hidin' out, so they don't see this part of me

  ➔ Clause of Purpose with 'So'

  ➔ The conjunction "so" is used here to introduce a clause that expresses the purpose or intended result of the action in the main clause. "I'm hidin' out" (main action) is done "so they don't see this part of me" (the reason/purpose). Note the informal use of "hidin'" instead of "hiding."

• Girls like me don't cry

  ➔ 'Like' as a Preposition of Similarity

  ➔ In this sentence, "like" functions as a preposition meaning "similar to" or "in the manner of." It compares 'girls' in general to 'me,' indicating that the speaker sees herself as representative of a certain type of girl. It is not functioning as a verb or a conjunction here.

• Em không muốn là phải âu sầu

  ➔ Vietnamese: 'Không muốn là phải' (Not want to have to)

  ➔ This Vietnamese phrase combines "không muốn" (don't want) with "là phải" (to have to / to be obliged to). It expresses a strong unwillingness or desire to avoid a certain state or action that might otherwise be seen as an obligation or an expected outcome. Here, "âu sầu" means sad or sorrowful.

• Nếu như có một phép nhiệm màu thì em mong bình yên như lúc đầu

  ➔ Vietnamese: Conditional Sentence ('Nếu như... thì...')

  ➔ This is a Vietnamese conditional sentence structure. "Nếu như" means "if" and introduces the condition, while "thì" means "then" and introduces the consequence or desired outcome. It expresses a hypothetical situation and a wish. "Em mong" means "I wish/hope."

• Sao nước mắt lại rơi như thế?

  ➔ Vietnamese: Rhetorical Question/Surprise ('Sao... lại...')

  ➔ In Vietnamese, the combination of "Sao" (why) and "lại" (again/unexpectedly/on the contrary) is often used to form a rhetorical question or to express surprise, wonder, or even a hint of frustration about an unexpected event. It's not always a direct question seeking an answer, but rather an expression of emotion.

• But all I want to do is hide

  ➔ Emphatic Structure: 'All (that) S + V + is + Bare Infinitive'

  ➔ This structure is used to emphasize a single, most important action or desire. "All I want to do" acts as the subject, followed by "is" and then a bare infinitive verb ("hide"). The pronoun "that" is often omitted after "all."

• Gotta let it go

  ➔ Informal 'Gotta' and Causative 'Let'

  ➔ "Gotta" is an informal, spoken contraction of "have got to," which means "must" or "have to." It expresses necessity or obligation. Combined with the causative verb "let" (allow/permit), "let it go" means to allow something to depart or to release it, often referring to emotions or past events.

• Hứa với em anh sẽ không ơ thờ

  ➔ Vietnamese: Promising Future Action ('Hứa với ai sẽ...')

  ➔ This Vietnamese structure is used to make a promise about a future action or state. "Hứa với" means "to promise to/with," followed by the person being promised to ("em" - me/you). Then, the subject of the promise ("anh" - I/he) is followed by "sẽ" (will, indicating future tense) and the action/state ("không ơ thờ" - not be indifferent/cold).
