If you notice about Vietnamese oldies and it's proliferation, there seems to be a particular song that's being focused upon and is sung by a multiple of people.

First it was Dap Mo Cuoc Tinh, then Tam Su Voi Anh, then Hai Vi Sao Lac, then Duong Tinh Doi Nga....etc....  But there are thousands of songs, so I don't think it will ever end.


But I like the Chinese version somehow.  Maybe it's the exoticism of a different language.

Here’s the Japanese translation of nang chieu. Didn’t know this song was such a hit.

It was said that composers in this era studied Western music and applied to Vietnamese music, as far as incorporating Western instruments, different beats, and explicit emotional sentiments.

But I disagree with the theme of the romantic theme of the song.  Most Vietnamese songs are about lost love and despair.

Many of the songs composed in the 50s have that jazzy quality that’s very western.

Nang chieu is not in that category. I just think it’s a very catchy tune so you don’t even notice the sad sentiment of loss love. Never realized how Asian it sounds until they play the Chinese version.
