[English]

I'm singing about my beloved, can you hear me??

I bring that smile, those lips... far from here.

Those moments holding hands tightly.

Those whispered words in my ear all this time.

The familiar scent still lingers on my clothes.

I'll tell you about the blue ocean.

I'll sing you our love song, just for you and me.

We'll hold hands and walk together on every familiar street...

Yeah ih yeah ha

Ah ih ahh la lalala - You're enough and the best to me. x 2

Ah ih ahh la lalala - You're enough and the best to me. x 2

[Vietnamese]

Em đang hát về người yêu dấu ơi, có nghe chăng??

Em đem tiếng cười bờ môi ấy.. xa chốn đây.

Những giây phút ghì chặt tay nhau.

Những câu nói thì thầm bên tai bấy lâu.

Mùi hương thân quen còn in trên vạt áo.

Em sẽ nói anh nghe anh nghe về đại dương xanh.

Em sẽ hát anh nghe anh nghe bản tình ca em với anh

Ta sẽ nắm tay nhau đi chung trên từng con phố quen..

Yeah ih yeah ha

Ah ih ahh la lalala You're enough 'n the best to me. x 2 ----

Ah ih ahh la lalala You're enough 'n the best to me. x 2 ----

Key Grammar Structures

• Em đang hát về người yêu dấu ơi, có nghe chăng??

  ➔ Progressive aspect (đang + verb) + colloquial question particle (chăng)

  ➔ The word "đang" shows the action is ongoing ("am singing"), and "chăng" turns the sentence into a friendly yes‑no question.

• Những giây phút ghì chặt tay nhau.

  ➔ Imperative/Verb phrase expressing a strong request (ghì chặt)

  ➔ The verb phrase "ghì chặt" functions like "hold tightly" and carries an urging tone.

• Mùi hương thân quen còn in trên vạt áo.

  ➔ Adverb "còn" indicating continuation or persistence

  ➔ The word "còn" conveys that the scent "still remains" on the collar.

• Em sẽ nói anh nghe anh nghe về đại dương xanh.

  ➔ Future marker "sẽ" + verb complement "nghe" (causative perception)

  ➔ The auxiliary "sẽ" puts the clause in future tense, while "nghe" works as a perception verb meaning "let (you) hear".

• Ta sẽ nắm tay nhau đi chung trên từng con phố quen..

  ➔ Future marker "sẽ" + serial verb construction "nắm... đi chung"

  ➔ The phrase "nắm tay nhau" (hold each other's hands) is followed by "đi chung" (walk together), forming a serial verb structure that describes a sequence of actions.

• You're enough 'n the best to me.

  ➔ Idiomatic comparative structure "enough ... to"

  ➔ The word "enough" modifies the subject "you" and the phrase "to me" indicates the target of the evaluation.

• Những câu nói thì thầm bên tai bấy lâu.

  ➔ Adverbial phrase "bấy lâu" indicating duration

  ➔ The phrase "bấy lâu" means "for that long" and tells us how long the whispering has been happening.

• Ah ih ahh la lalala

  ➔ Interjection / vocal filler without syntactic function

  ➔ The sequence "Ah ih ahh la lalala" serves as a musical filler, adding rhythm but not contributing grammatical meaning.
