Tsab Ntawv–Maa Vue
Posted on 23 June 2012
A friend of mine shared a song called “Ib Nxhis” (Forever) by Maa Vue with me, after listening to it for the first time, I have felt in love with the song, then I also discover the song “Tsab Ntawv” (The Letter) by Maa Vue in which I truly felt in love with the song. I thought the idea of the song was great, it really fit with how I was feeling at the moment. I know that’s a lame excuse to like a song, but the message in this song was just beautiful and Maa’s voice really was beautiful and soothing, which was a plus for me!
Kuv yuav sau ib tsab ntawv khaws cia
I will write a letter to keep
Thaum txog caij koj mam li nyeem
When it is time, you may read it
20 xyoo dhau tso koj mam nkag siab
In 20 years, you will understand
hauv tsab ntawv txhua yam kuv tau hais
In this letter, everything I have written
thov kom koj ua lub siab khov
I wish that you will be strong
tsis txob mus mloog luag tej hais mog
Please don’t listen to what people have to say
koj yog ib tug neeg muaj lub siab dawb hu
You are pure hearted person
Yog ib tug neeg zoo nkauj rau kuv
A person who is very beautiful to me
Kuv yeej paub tias lub sijhawm yeej nyuaj rau koj
I know that time have been hard on you
Kuv ntseeg tau tias koj yuav mus dhau ib hnub xwb mog
I believe that one day you will overcome it all
thov kom tus neeg koj mus yog tom ntev no
I wish that the person you have become
zoo tshaj tug neeg koj ib txwm yog
is someone better than the person you were before
Zoo tshaj kuv nawb mog
better than me
thov kom tej kev npau sua muaj tseeb rau koj
I wish that all your dreams came true
Luag ntxim tag mus li
May you smile on forever
Txhua yam kuv tau sau no yog vim
Everything I have written here is because
Kuv xav pom koj zoo siab xwb
I want to see you happy
kuv xav pom koj zoo siab xwb
I want to see you happy
Sau npe tus neeg koj ib twm yog 20 xyoo tag los
Written, the person you were 20 years ago

I like this song too! Thanks for sharing!
u should listen to her other song called nyob ua kev “stay together” very powerful meaning in that song also..I do agree she does have a very calming n beautiful voice but the best I think is her song lyrics…
Josh, I have and I love it too! She has this amazing and powerful voice that I really enjoy!
