This is the first part of the kwv txhiaj "Tsis Muaj Viv Muaj Ncaus Tu Tu Siab." I chose to teach this song because the words have a powerful meaning that can be deeply felt even without the tune. This is especially for my sisters who do not understand or have an ear for Hmong kwv txhiaj. Hopefully, seeing the words written down will help you interpret the meaning of the song for yourself.
In my translation to English, this song is, in simple terms, about a lonely, desperate cry of a woman yearning for her sister. As she looks around and sees others with their sisters, she misses hers. She compares her feelings to having the sun without the moon; Earth would burn.
I hope you will come back to join me to learn the rest of the song.
