Mid-autumn festival song from Vietnam
This weekend is the mid-autumn festival. Everyones eating mooncakes and lanterns are all around.
In Vietnam, the mid-autumn festival is also celebrated as a children’s festival.
You can listen to them singing a lantern song, click on the link below.
Do you want to sing with them?
The lyrics to the song:
Tet trung thu ruoc den di choi.
Em ruoc den di khap pho phuong.
Long vui suong voi den trong tay
Em mua ca trong anh trang ram.
Den ong sao voi den ca chep
den thien nga voi den buom buom
em ruoc den nay den cung trang.
Den xanh lo voi den tim tim.
Den xanh lam voi den trang trang
Trong anh den ruc ro muon mau.
In English
At Mid-autumn festival,
walk around with lanterns lit.
Take them all across the town,
singing to the autumn moon.
Lanterns all in different shapes, lantern angel, lantern dream,
Lantern fish, or lantern star, lantern swan or butterfly.
Take my lantern to the sky;
take my lantern to the moon!

“Den xanh lo voi den tim tim.
Den xanh lam voi den trang trang
Trong anh den ruc ro muon mau.”

I've got a great translation of that song, not quite accurate but I like its English rhythm. Thanks for the post, it reminds me of my childhood with my first lantern.
