Trinh Cong Son's music has been sung with the wrong lyrics many times by famous singers.

In the latest episode of the show "Sister Beautiful - The Wind Breaks the Waves" , the group led by Thu Phuong performed a mashup of "Diem Xua" and "Dai Minh Tinh".

However, the three singers Thu Phuong, My Linh, and Uyen Linh sang the wrong lyrics to this song, making the audience uncomfortable.

Afterwards, the production unit of the program "Beautiful Sister Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves" contacted and sent an email with the content "Deep apology to the late musician Trinh Cong Son and his family".

"After consulting with the family of the late musician Trinh Cong Son, we received feedback that the lyrics of the song Diem Xua were circulated in two different versions. It is unfortunate that there were two parallel versions but we did not refer to the original version," said the producer.

The "beautiful ladies" sang the wrong lyrics to Trinh Cong Son's immortal song.

As for diva My Linh, she feels very sorry towards the audience, the author as well as the family of the late musician Trinh Cong Son and asks to learn from her mistakes.

Many famous artists sing Trinh Cong Son's songs with the wrong lyrics.

This is not the first time My Linh has sung the wrong lyrics to a Trinh song. In 2011, My Linh was criticized by the public for singing the wrong lyrics at a concert.

This time, the diva made two mistakes in the lyrics of two Trinh songs. My Linh innocently sang “Troi sao im vang” (original text “Doi sao im vang”) in the song Lullaby. In the song De gio cuon di, My Linh sang “One morning the birds flew away peacefully” instead of the original lyrics “One morning the birds flew away endlessly”.

Not only My Linh, some professional singers who have been attached to Trinh's music for a long time sometimes sing wrongly.

My Linh sang Trinh Cong Son's songs wrongly many times.

When performing the song "There is a dead river", female singer My Tam sang "Ten years when the city and the hills" as "Ten years when the city and the smiles".

In addition, in the song "Night sees us as a waterfall ", she changed the phrase "My life has no more novelty. I have lived very indifferently" to "Your life has no more novelty. I have lived very indifferently". The verse that changed the pronoun of the "brown-haired nightingale" unintentionally changed the meaning of Trinh Cong Son's lyrics.

In 2017, My Tam sang in the Lullaby music night, performing the song Remembering Autumn in Hanoi . However, the female singer sang: "Western sky in autumn afternoon", while the correct lyrics should be "Western lake in autumn afternoon". Realizing her mistake, My Tam immediately apologized to the audience.

Many young singers like Lan Nha and Hoang Trang have also been criticized for singing Trinh's songs incorrectly.

My Tam once had to apologize for singing Trinh's song wrongly.

In addition, many songs by musician Trinh Cong Son are often sung with the wrong lyrics, such as Chieu mot minh qua pho ( "co khi nang tan chua xuan" is sung by many people as "co khi nang mua chua xuan" ), Nang thuy tinh ("ban tay xanh xanh" becomes "ban tay xao xao") , Mot gioi di ve ( "con tinh yeu thuong" is sung as "con tim yeu thuong" or the line "thoi tuyet xuan thi" becomes "thoi khong xuan thi").

Even in Trinh Cong Son’s song “Biet dau nguon” (Where is the origin) , many singers sang “Em di qua chuyen do, thay con trau dang loi” ( ascending the ferry, thay con trang dang loi) while the correct lyrics were “Em di qua chuyen do, thay con trang dang loi”. This is a mistake that completely destroys the artistry of the work.

Trinh's music has wrong lyrics, should we ignore it?

The fact that works have incorrect lyrics has been a reality for many years. Many works by generations of musicians were sung with incorrect lyrics, which became familiar to the audience over time and became widely popular. The original lyrics were forgotten. Just in Trinh's music alone, there are dozens of works with incorrect lyrics that have become familiar to many generations of audiences.

According to many critics, the lyrics are the special value in Trinh Cong Son's music . Van Cao once called Trinh's music as poetry, in which it is impossible to distinguish between song and poetry. Those who love Trinh's music pay close attention to the lyrics in the songs. Therefore, the fact that singers make mistakes in singing Trinh's music annoys the audience.

Musician Trinh Cong Son is famous for being very delicate, calculating every word in his songs. His songs all have complex lyrics, many layers of meaning. Even the songs have many similar parts, so if you are not focused, it is easy to get confused. Many singers have had to admit this.

Many songs by musician Trinh Cong Son are sung with the wrong lyrics.

Sharing in a discussion in 2018, Khanh Ly also admitted to singing Trinh's song lyrics incorrectly, and thanked the audience for always loving and not criticizing.

According to her, when he was alive, musician Trinh Cong Son never had any demands on those who sang his music. The musician liked people to perform his music in their own way. For him, people singing his music was happiness.

“Singers today sing Trinh’s music according to their thoughts and feelings at that time. We cannot criticize: this girl has to sing like this, that girl has to sing like that.

The suffering of those who forget the lyrics when singing is being blamed. When I sing wrongly, no one says anything. It is because of everyone's sympathy for me, that no one blames me for singing wrongly, even though I sing wrongly many times.

There are young singers who sing with me, they sing correctly and I sing incorrectly, but the audience still assumes… they sing incorrectly and I sing correctly. Let’s sympathize and understand those singers who sing correctly now,” the famous female singer once said.
