NGHÈO NÊN MẤT EM

POOR, SO I LOST YOU

[Intro – Piano buồn, giọng nam trầm] · Intro – Sad piano, deep male voice

Có những chuyện tình...

There are love stories...

Yêu nhau đến hết một đời thanh xuân...

Loving each other through an entire youth...

Nhưng chẳng thể cùng nhau đi đến cuối con đường.

But unable to walk together to the end of the road.

[Verse 1]

Mình đã yêu nhau qua bao mùa mưa nắng

We loved each other through so many seasons of rain and sun

Mấy năm thanh xuân chẳng ngại khó khăn

Many years of youth, not afraid of difficulties

Em từng nói chỉ cần anh bên cạnh

You once said you only needed me by your side

Giàu nghèo chi đâu, miễn có chân thành.

Rich or poor didn't matter, as long as there was sincerity.

Anh đã mơ về một ngôi nhà nhỏ

I dreamed of a small house

Có em bên đời, chẳng sợ phong ba

With you by my side, unafraid of storms

Nhưng ngày anh mang trầu cau đến hỏi

But the day I brought betel and areca to ask for your hand

Gia đình em cười... vì anh chẳng có gì.

Your family laughed... because I had nothing.

[Pre-Chorus]

Người ta bảo em xứng đáng giàu sang

They said you deserved wealth and luxury

Còn anh tay trắng, lấy gì lo cho nàng

While I had empty hands, what could I provide for you?

Một bên là chữ hiếu, một bên là tình yêu

On one side was filial piety, on the other was love

Anh đành buông tay dù lòng đau rất nhiều.

I had to let go, though my heart ached so much.

[Chorus – Cao trào, da diết, dễ nhớ] · Chorus – Climax, poignant, memorable

Anh thua người ta... chỉ vì anh nghèo

I lost to him... just because I'm poor

Yêu em tha thiết nhưng chẳng thể mang theo

I loved you deeply but couldn't take you with me

Em khoác áo hoa, lên xe cùng người khác

You wore a floral dress, got into a car with someone else

Bỏ lại anh đây với nước mắt đêm dài.

Leaving me here with tears through long nights.

Người ấy giàu sang, cho em cuộc sống

He is rich, giving you a life

Nhưng có bao giờ hiểu được trái tim em?

But does he ever understand your heart?

Em có nụ cười bên người em chẳng yêu

You smile beside someone you don't love

Còn anh ôm một đời thương nhớ người yêu.

While I embrace a lifetime of missing my beloved.

[Verse 2]

Ngày em lên xe, trời mưa tầm tã

The day you left, it rained heavily

Anh đứng bên đường nhìn bóng em xa

I stood by the road watching your shadow fade away

Muốn chạy đến ôm em lần cuối

Wanted to run and hug you one last time

Nhưng lấy tư cách gì giữ em lại đây?

But what right did I have to keep you here?

Nghe nói người ta cho em nhà lầu

I heard he gave you a grand house

Cho em xe đẹp, chẳng thiếu thứ gì

Gave you a beautiful car, lacking nothing

Chỉ thương đôi mắt ngày xưa của em

I only pity your eyes from back then

Giờ có còn vui như lúc bên anh?

Are they still as happy as when you were with me?

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Anh chẳng trách em, cũng chẳng trách đời

I don't blame you, nor do I blame fate

Chỉ trách đôi tay không giữ được người

I only blame my hands for not being able to keep you

Nếu ngày ấy anh có tất cả

If only I had everything back then

Liệu chúng mình có phải xa nhau?

Would we have had to be apart?

[Chorus – Hát mạnh hơn, dồn cảm xúc] · Chorus – Sing stronger, with more emotion

Anh thua người ta... chỉ vì anh nghèo

I lost to him... just because I'm poor

Yêu em tha thiết nhưng chẳng thể mang theo

I loved you deeply but couldn't take you with me

Em khoác áo hoa, lên xe cùng người khác

You wore a floral dress, got into a car with someone else

Bỏ lại anh đây với nước mắt đêm dài.

Leaving me here with tears through long nights.

Người ấy giàu sang, cho em cuộc sống

He is rich, giving you a life

Nhưng có bao giờ hiểu được trái tim em?

But does he ever understand your heart?

Em có nụ cười bên người em chẳng yêu

You smile beside someone you don't love

Còn anh ôm một đời thương nhớ người yêu.

While I embrace a lifetime of missing my beloved.

[Bridge – Nhạc lắng xuống, giọng hát nghẹn ngào] · Bridge – Music softens, voice chokes up

Nếu kiếp sau mình gặp lại nhau

If we meet again in the next life

Xin đừng nhìn anh bằng đôi mắt buồn

Please don't look at me with sad eyes

Anh sẽ cố gắng trở thành người giàu có

I will try to become a rich man

Để chẳng mất em vì hai chữ nghèo...

So I won't lose you because of two words: 'poor'...

[Final Chorus – Bùng nổ cảm xúc] · Final Chorus – Emotional explosion

Anh không trách em, cũng không trách ai

I don't blame you, nor do I blame anyone

Chỉ tiếc tình mình chẳng thắng được tương lai

I only regret our love couldn't conquer the future

Em đi lấy chồng, anh về với cô đơn

You go marry, I return to loneliness

Một mối tình sâu... đổi lấy những tổn thương.

A deep love... exchanged for wounds.

[Outro – Piano và violin] · Outro – Piano and violin

Người ta mất tiền rồi còn có thể kiếm lại...

People lose money and can earn it back...

Còn anh mất em... biết tìm em nơi đâu?

But I lost you... where can I find you?

Nghèo không đáng sợ...

Poverty is not scary...

Đáng sợ là yêu một người

What's scary is loving someone

Nhưng không đủ điều kiện để cưới người ta.

But not having enough to marry them.

Lines explained

“Nhưng ngày anh mang trầu cau đến hỏi”

But the day I brought betel and areca to ask for your hand

Bringing 'trầu cau' (betel and areca) is a traditional Vietnamese custom for a man to formally propose marriage to a woman's family. Their laughter signifies rejection due to his lack of wealth.

“Một bên là chữ hiếu, một bên là tình yêu”

On one side was filial piety, on the other was love

This line highlights the difficult choice the woman faced: 'chữ hiếu' (filial piety) refers to the duty and respect owed to parents, often implying following their wishes, which in this case was to marry someone wealthy, versus her love.

“Em khoác áo hoa, lên xe cùng người khác”

You wore a floral dress, got into a car with someone else

'Áo hoa' (floral dress) often symbolizes a wedding dress or festive attire, indicating she is marrying someone else.
