Le monde est beau (Entry for July 14, 2007)

Nhân ngày Quốc khánh Pháp 14-7, nghe lại một số bài hát Pháp

với tiếng hát Don Hồ

1. Venise pour l'éternité

2. Viens m'embrasser

viens m'embrasser
avant de t'en aller ce soir
viens m'embrasser
on ne va plus se voir mais on n'est pas faché
viens m'embrasser
viens m'embrasser
dis toi qu'entre nous deux
ça ne va rien changer
ta decision est prise
et tu va me quitter
viens m'embrasser

{Refrain:}
toi qui t'en vas
oubli que je suis triste
oubli et souris moi
fais moi revivre encore un peu de ce temps là
où tu venais te jetter dans mes bras
toi qui t'en vas
essais de m'inventer encore un peu de toi
essais de faire semblant d'avoir besoin de moi
viens m'embrasser pour la derniere fois

viens m'embrasser
c'est toi qui va partir
alors pourquoi pleurer
c'est pas la fin du monde
on n'est pas les premiers à se quitter
viens m'embrasser
et ne me parle plus du mal que tu me fais
avec le temps
tu sais
tout devrais s'arranger
viens m'embrasser

{au Refrain}

3. La femme de mon amie

4. Le monde est beau

5. Je ne t'aime plus

DON HO

During his sophomore through senior year in high school, Don Ho participated in a choral group called Chamber Singers. As a young man, Don Ho excelled in the arts. He received a scholarship to attend an art school in New York after high school, however his love for music was greater, consequently, Don decided to remain in the west coast to pursue a career as a singer. Don came from a family of entertainers. He still has relatives who are in show business in Vietnam.

In 1989, Don began to sing professionally at local Vietnamese night clubs in Southern California. His career sky-rocketed in 1991, through the publicity and exposure he received in appearing in his first music video with Thuy Nga Productions. Don appeared in Lien Khuc Nhac Tre Paris performing Em Dep Nhu Mo and Black Magic Woman in Thuy Nga Paris 12. Due to popular demand, Don was asked to reappear in Thuy Nga 15 the following year. Once again, Don received great success through his rendition of Diana. Also appearing with Don in Thuy Nga 15 were Dalena and Trinh Nam Son.

In the beginning of his career, Don Ho often sings English songs or non-vietnamese songs because these seemed more popular with the younger audience. However, as time goes by, Don began to venture into performing Vietnamese ballads. Don seems to have found a niche in this area since many of his hits are of this genre. Don claims that he now enjoy singing Vietnamese ballads more than other songs simply because these songs are more soulful and have greater personal meaning to him.

Don Ho is a true professional in every sense of the word. He continues to study and hone his craft by attending voice lesson and music theory in college.

Don Ho often collaborates with Thuy Nga Productions in producing music videos and CDs and he has designed many CDs' cover himself.
