when i’m bored and ain’t got shit to do, i write the lyrics to hmong songs. here’s the most recent,. i’ve been listening to it for the past 2 months maybe, and finally decided to sit down and press play, pause, and rewind for a while to write everything out.

one of the most heartbreaking hmong songs i’ve heard in such a long time. turn on captions for english translations.

youtube

Hmo no nraug hli ci tuaj rau kuv

Ua rau kuv nco sim neej no yug tsis tau txhua yam

Ua rau kuv xav txog me nkauj hnub ntshe nws zoo li kuv

Hmo no kuv pw ntawm koj ib sab

Kuv ncav cuag txog koj txhais tes los koj tsis hnov

Puas yog txoj hmoo yuav mus raws li nkauj hnub thiab nraug hli

Pes tsawg hnub, pes tsawg hli, pes tsawg xyoo wb yuav nyob li no

Wb lub neej twb muab cia koj rau hauv nruab siab

Ntsia koj kuv kua muag nrog

Qhov tseeb los txog

Wb tsis yog ib tiam, ib tiam, ib tiam

Xav tias yuav nrog koj ib tiam

Zaum no ntshe yog ib pliag xwb

Hmo no nraug hli ci tuaj rau wb

Ua rau kuv nco thawj zaug koj ntxhi tias koj hlub kuv

Hmo ntawv zoo li kuv yog tib lub hnub qub nyob saum ntuj

Hmo no li txhua hmo wb nyob ntsiag to

Wb muaj lus zaim daig hauv nruab siab

Ib tug tsis nti ib tug tsis nyoo

Nkauj hnub nraug hli nyob cia rau yab ceeb

CHORUS

No puas yog lub ntuj qhua qhia wb tias thaum xob nroog kob nag los

Ces tej paj tshiab mam tawg rau wb

Xob nroog nag los lawm tsis txhais paj tshiab yuav tawg

Hmo no nraug hli ci tuaj rau kuv

Ua rau kuv nco sim neej no yug tsis tau txhua yam

Wb lub neej twb muab cia koj rau hauv nruab siab

Ntsia koj kuv kua muag nrog

Qhov tseeb los txog

Wb tsis yog ib tiam, ib tiam, ib tiam

Xav tias yuav nrog koj ib tiam

Zaum no ntshe yog ib pliag xwb

Los temas sexuales no tienen nada de malo, pero si todo tu rollo es el tema sexual como conejo, escribe una novela erótica, o publica en esas pagnias de relatos porno o ve porno.

Hay de todo en la viña del señor, estrellitas, y bueno, vamos ya dejando el debate del +18 para dar paso a otras cosas. Siempre habrá perspectivas diferentes y puntos de vista diferentes.

June 9th, 2017 : Late Night Thoughts

I feel pretty good tonight. I feel content.

Atm, I’m looking at universities/colleges to transfer to and California is really calling out my name. So, I’ve always wanted to move to LA but I think finishing up my creative writing degree in Fresno would be a great start to ease into California. I’d also be around more Hmong people, be able to utilize more Hmong resources, and practice speaking Hmong. I did some research over the standard cost of living in Fresno earlier.

So, I’m just getting my shit together. I’ve also got that Rock It Punch Studios two song-record deal and that’s been stressing the fuck out of me. I’ve been messaging a few artists who are more experienced with music contracts and graciously receiving their insight/advice. I learned a lot today with an hour long call I had with Pagnia. She was so kind to set some time aside to thoroughly go over the contract with me. I don’t know if I’m actually going to be signing it but I strongly sense that I won’t be. A big part of me wanted me to sign it so I could go back to Fresno. I wanted to see “potential” friends that I briefly met at/bc of HMF, see my former dance girls/friends, and do campus tours.

I even got my song “Backslide” hand-picked by Tieng Hang to air on Hmong FM Radio today. He’s a fellow Hmong musician who commented one of the most sweetest comments I’ve read so far on my youtube channel. Later, I received a friend and message request on facebook from him saying:

“ I'll be on Hmong FM tonight. Gonna give you a shout out and play your song backslide for the world to hear. 6:30 to 7:30. “

I remember this one day when an acquaintance I used to attend high school with was driving a mutual acquaintance and I to a restaurant to eat out and catch up. We had this conversation about what we had wanted to do after high school since graduation was around the corner. I told this person that I wanted to be a singer/songwriter/musician that tours and have their songs played on the radio. I distinctly recall seeing their face turning a bit sour but they tried to play it cool and responded with a “Oh really?”

It doesn’t matter what they thought but I’m at a good moment right now. I turned to music because I felt like I could be myself. I have control. I gain control of my voice and what I want to say with my writing. I genuinely do do music for myself so having people support me.....is way more than I had wanted/expected. I simply wanted to be understood by myself but having people connecting or taking something from my songs is just mind-blowing. Like, why and how???

I believed that I wasn’t someone worth listening to when I initially entered into the HMF Rising Star competition. I have not felt comfortable in my own skin in a longgggg time so I pushed myself to submit a video because I would at least know that I tried. I was anxious to see the reaction from my Hmong community after I submitted a video. I know that I don’t know Hmong well and I had started the HMONG singing competition with an English original song. I kept thinking....what if people think it sounds terrible or that it’s not “Hmong enough?”

I was confused and felt guilty when I read the email saying that I got into the second round of Rising Star. One of my absolute favorite contestants ended up not placing the top ten so I messaged him later saying how I hope he would still continue to write and upload music. I even told him how I thought he was going to continue onto the second round. I lost hope when the second round voting week started and I just remember having only about 12 people liking my status reminding them to vote for me.

I screamed when I received the email saying that I had won. I was worried about finals and I couldn’t take my mind off of HMF RS. I even had multiple dreams about me clicking on the email saying that I won or didn’t win.

HMF has been dream. It happened quickly and I’m just still in disbelief. I still can’t believe I won. I still can’t believe people like what they hear. I still can’t believe I flew on an airplane and went to California for the first time by myself. I can’t believe that I walked the red carpet, been interviewed, signed autographs, and taken pictures with people who freaked out when they saw me walking around the HMF venue.

I’m just a simple, small town girl from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Good things rarely happen to me.

EVERYTHING IS JUST OVERWHELMING.

A part of me feels scared but the other part is trying to embrace it.

For once in my life, I’m starting to feel comfortable and okay being myself. I’m gaining confidence and I’m feeling happy.

I’m even doing a photoshoot this Sunday. Definitely not getting used to any of this.

I just hope that this attitude stays put. I’m excited to live my life and hope to remember/cherish those who helped me along the way.

Why do I always end up doing some type of writing two o’clock in the morning?

I’m sure no one reads this but good night. I should sleep. So much I could type about but this would turn into a book.

from the Instagram of Hmong American singer Pagnia Xiong:

Betcha didn’t know I was in a music duo once? Hello from 1999! I was so young. A new teenager. So to look back on that these moments, I am humbled. These are the building blocks of my music career. . I had just discovered I could sing a few years earlier in a Hmong children’s choir. That I could stand on a stage and stand my ground in front of hundreds of people who had never heard me. . Of course, it wouldn’t have happened without my sister, @pakoubeauty. When our choir days were over, she didn’t quit on me. We called ourselves Asianeyezed. For two years, we performed wherever people asked. Every Hmong New Year. Every family function. Every social event. Even when we didn’t expect to sing, we sung. . I like to think if we were still a duo today, The Kong & Shu Project would have some competition. LOL. I loved us. I still love us. And although Pa Kou no longer claims she sings, I still want us to perform together one day. When everything else ended in my music world, Pa Kou stood by me, instilled confidence in me, and made the journey more fun. . 20 years later, she still does that. I love you, sis. Forever and ever. . #throwbackthursday #PagniaXiong#Blessed #SingingSisters#HmongMusic #HmongSingers#HmongArtists #tksp
