Nco Koj Ib Leeg aka Nco Kuv Me Me song lyrics and translation

Posted on 14 August 2008

So I notice that someone was searching for the song lyrics and translation of “Nco Koj ib leeg” aka “Nco kuv me me” from my site so I decided that I should go ahead and translate this song with both the Hmong and the America translation.

 

Once again, this is just my rough translation. It’s not the very best, but it’s what I can do. I love this song. It’s sung by Luj Yaj, a remake of a Thai classic song. As of right now, I am too lazy to find the original Thai version, so settle for just the Hmong version. Kaishek Yang (forgive me if I spelt his name wrong) had also done a remake of Luj Yaj’s version, and believes me, it blew me away! I was in love with both Kaishek’s voice and tone, and how he amazedly turns it into a great modern song without changing anything. Now that’s what I call true talent!!! But I still think, Luj Yaj’s version is much better.

 

First off, if you don’t actually listen to the song and don’t understand the Hmong metaphor this song can be a little confusing. I do understand the Hmong metaphors, so it makes the song even better for me. In this song, he’s saying that no matter the distance they are still close due to the night sky. When the night falls and the moon is bright and the stars are shinning, they are both looking at the same great sky, which makes their distance a lot closer than it is.

 

 

The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later.

Remember, this MV was made atleast a good 15 years ago when Luj was much younger… Do enjoy!

 

This is Kaishek’s version of “Nco kuv me me”…

 

 

Here is the Thai version sang by Sornkiree Sriprajuab..

 

 

Nco koj ib leeg (aka: Nco kuv me me)

Missing only you (aka: Miss me a little bit)

Album: Luj Yaj- best collection

 

Nco kuv thaib mog txhob ua siab hlob

Miss me too, don’t be the bigger person
ntuj teb tag hmo

All night long

Kuv tseem nco koj, puas ntseeg

I still miss you, do you believe me?

Nco koj ib leeg nco koj ib leeg

Missing you, missing only you

Hais rau koj tias,

To tell you

Lub cev nyob deb nplooj siab nyob ze

My home is far, but my heart is near

 

Nco kuv me me txhob ua siab deb

Miss me a little bit, don’t have a distance heart

Thaum pw ntsauj zog

When you are asleep

Thov koj nco kuv, ib pliag

Please miss me for just a little bit

Nco ntsoov khaw cia tias kuv tseem hlub

Keep in your heart that I still love

Ib tug nyob deb,

Someone far

Nco ntsoov lub npe nyob rau hauv siab

Remember the name in your heart

 

Hmo ntuj kaj hli

When the nights have a full moon

Hnub qub ntsa iab

The starts are shinning bright

Thov koj ntsia saum lub hli

Please look into the moon

Tshua hmo wb tuaj sib ntsib,

Every night we meet

Lub hlis yog wb qhov chaw ntsib

The moon is our meeting place

Xav kom kaj hli, txhua hmo

If only it is a full moon every night

 

Kuv nco txog koj txhua hnub txhua hmo

I miss you every day and night

Es koj puas hnov

So do you hear me?

Thiab koj puas nco kuv nab,

And do you miss me?

Thaum twg koj hnov thaum tug koj nco

When you hear me, when you miss me

Thov ntsia lub ntuj

Please look into the sky

Kuv tseem yua hlub koj tas mus li

I will love you forever
