For example, in the recently aired program "Beautiful Sister Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves", singers Thu Phuong, My Linh, and Uyen Linh sang the wrong lyrics to the song "Diem Xua" .
The lyrics "If tomorrow is in a buried pain..." were sung as "Remember forever in a buried pain...". After that, the program producer and singer contacted the family of the late musician Trinh Cong Son to apologize.
Many famous songs are sung with the wrong lyrics.
Not only was the song Diem Xua sung with the wrong lyrics, but many other famous songs by musician Trinh Cong Son were also sung with the wrong lyrics.
In the song Mot gioi di ve , "con tinh yeu thuong" is sung incorrectly as "con tim yeu thuong". "Ban tay xanh xanh" is corrected to "ban tay vong tuong" in the song Nang thuy tinh .
With the song Chieu mot minh qua pho , Trinh Cong Son's line "Co khi nang tan chua xuan" was changed to "Co khi nang mua chua xuan".
In addition, in the song Thanh Pho Buon by musician Lam Phuong, the singer often sings the wrong line "Roi from there, hide from the storm..." as "Roi from there, hide from the storm...".
The song "Xom dem" by musician Pham Dinh Chuong has the line: "through the fence, there are two heads...". Perhaps because the singer did not understand the content of the lyrics, he sang it wrongly as "chênh vông".
The sad hymn by musician Nguyen Vu is often sung with the wrong line "Then the nights of the world welcome Christmas" as "Then the nights of the church/cathedral welcome Christmas"...
" Ve que mao" is one of the famous songs by musician Han Chau that was also sung with wrong lyrics by the singer. "Anh xin mui em duong ve mien Trung xa la lo" was changed to "Anh xin mui em di ve mien que xa la la lo".
The song "Country" by musician Tran Le Giang has the line: "When I hold your hand, the gray clouds drift away, leaving only the pale moonlight" but most singers sing "When I hold your hand, the clouds drift away, leaving only the pale moonlight". This change in lyrics completely distorts the meaning of the song that the author intended.
Secret to avoid singing wrong lyrics
Many songs are sung with wrong lyrics, possibly because the singer does not grasp the content and spirit of the song, or arbitrarily changes the lyrics to make it sound more natural...
Singer Nguyen Phi Hung told Tuoi Tre Online : "A song is like an inheritance, a spiritual child that cannot be bought with any material value. Nowadays, singing the wrong lyrics has become popular, which is not advisable, because different lyrics will distort the meaning of the song compared to the original."
Not only a singer, Nguyen Phi Hung also tries his hand at being a musician. He has composed many songs so he understands the passion that musicians put into each song.

He shared his experience to limit singing wrong lyrics: "First, I would meet the musician (if he is still alive), they will be the ones to give me strict advice on the lyrics.
Second, before singing, I read the information and context of the song's composition.
Third, contact the Vietnam Center for Music Copyright Protection to access the original text provided by the author or the author's family.
Nowadays, technology is developing, there is a lot of information on Google and there are articles analyzing the song's content, why not find out?
