Tsim Laj Muas & Mog Mim Yaj - Kev Hlub Yam Dej Ntws Tsis Rov
Guy:
Kuv tau hlub nrog koj ib zaug
I have loved you once
Los yuav tsis tau koj coj los ua kuv tug
But I don’t have the luck of getting you to be mine
Wb txoj kev hlub
Our love
Kuv yuav muab khaws zoo cia
I will keep it well
Cim koj tseg rau nruab siab
You will be imprinted in my heart (the literal translation is “You will be imprinted in my liver" because for the Hmong people, to love comes from the liver and not the heart; heart in Hmong is "plawv" and the word "plawv" sounds harsh to the ear)
Cim koj cia rau ntsiab muag
You will be imprinted in my eyes (more specifically "the cornea")
