“Yem Lua” – Vietnamese Ancient Beauty

Video compiled by TVLE Pink silk halter-necks have been worn and treasured by Vietnamese women over the last century and are still considered an integral part of their traditional costume today. More than 100 years ago, the yem tham became a fashion item that symbolised the Vietnamese women’s desire to make themselves more beautiful. The halter-neck and silk ties at the back of the garment are pulled tight to accentuate the delicate figure of Vietnamese women, and most importantly to create the concave effect of the “wasp waist”. www.frontiernet.net

    I think this is one the most beautiful picture I have ever seen.I am very proud of Vietnamese people as they stood in front of the most powerful nation on earth,notwithstanding the fact that final act is not what I had expected from our brothers/comrades .Vietnam is a very rich in culture and has many beautiful people with beautiful souls.

    lyrics of Vietnamese Girl with yellow skin song (Trinh Cong Son)

    Girl, so young, with skin like gold,
    Home you love like fields of grain,
    Girl, so young, with skin like gold,
    On your face fall tears like rain.

  13. TranThanhHai1 says:

    Girl, so young, with skin like gold,
    Home you love, so do love the weak.
    Seated there in dreams of peace,
    Proud of home as of your womanhood.

  14. TranThanhHai1 says:

    You’ve never known our land in peace.
    You’ve never known Olden Viet Nam.
    You’ve never sung our village songs.
    All you have is an angry heart.

  15. TranThanhHai1 says:

    Passing by the village gate,
    In the night with guns booming low,
    Girl so young, you clutch your heart.
    On soft skin a bleeding wound grows.

  16. TranThanhHai1 says:

    Girl, so young, with skin like gold,
    Home you love like fields of grain,
    Girl, so young, with skin like gold,
    You love home which is no more.

  17. TranThanhHai1 says:

    O! Unfeeling and heartless death.
    Dark our land a thousand years.
    Home, my sister, you’ve come alone.
    And I, alone, still search for you.

    Girl, so young, with skin like gold
    (3 times, fading)
