Learning Vietnamese songs

Learning Vietnamese songs

When I learned my first Vietnamese song,  it took me several weeks. I told my duet partner that I should perhaps try to sing short and easy kindergarten songs!

Khi tôi học bài hát tiếng Việt đầu tiên, tôi mất vài tuần. Tôi nói với bạn song ca của mình rằng có lẽ tôi nên thử hát những bài hát mẫu giáo ngắn và dễ nghe! (Google translate)

Until I feel in love with the next two songs.

Silence

The Sound of Silence,” a song by Simon & Garfunkel, explores themes of social isolation, the inability to communicate, and the feeling of being disconnected from others and oneself…”

Ever experience?

it is high, up here, with a good view

but it is so lonely!

In what situations can one find oneself like being alone on top of a mountain?

Albert Einstein also famously stated, “It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely”.

Charles Rodrigues (Listen to our duet” wasted days wasted nights) is going 80 and could croon effortlessly and soothingly with his guitar.  Singing kept him going,  he said. At his age, he still gets invited sometimes to sing in a pub!

Learning a lesson

“Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood” — Ralph Waldo Emerson.

My question:

Is it the same, learning from other people’s experiences and not having to LIVE the lesson to understand a lesson in life?

Comments:

Ab and Geoffrey agree with Ralph above.  I would say that sometimes we learn from other people’s experiences, for example,  avoiding car accidents, drowning,  drugs, etc.

Once in a while,  maybe.

Once in a while,  maybe.

“Do one thing every day that scares you” — Eleanor Roosevelt.

I am not sure if I want to do it EVERYDAY, but maybe once in a while,  I like to challenge myself to sing another country’s song (see below)..
