So like I noticed that song "Lus Npe Hu Ua HMOOB" posting...yea, I have that song. Well, it belongs to my dad. It's a cool song. It's rather old but you can still make out the words. I have it on cassette and c.d. It's a cool patriotic song. My dad got the song a long time ago when it was cool for southeast hmong and chinese hmong to exchange cultures. yea, now that culture exchange has kind of disappeared. I think that's sad.
anyway, my dad has a huge hmoob suav song collection and it's so nice to actually sit down to listen to them. even though the Hmong do not have a country, the patriotic songs make one feel more special. this is one thing i like about the hmoob in china, they actually have songs to keep their people going strong.
anyway, "Lus npe hu ua Hmoob" is suppose to be the anthem of the Hmoob of Paj Tawg Teb, China.

i sing it many times the first time i heard it.. my mom says it's kinda irritating..but
after so many times i sing it, it got her to sing a few lines here and there.. lolz ^^
Lub Npe Hu Ua HMOOB <~~ Download it here.. Some words may be unclear so if you can read Hmong, take a look at the lyric below.
LUB NPE HU UA HMOOB
Vim li cas peb yuav hais peb suab lus,
Vim li cas peb yuav hnav peb zam tsoos?
Tsis vim tsav niaj tus dab tsi,
Tsuas vim peb lub npe hu ua Hmoob.
Vim li cas peb yuav kawm peb ntaub ntawv,
Vim li cas peb yuav nthuav peb txuj ci?
Tsis vim tsav niaj tus dab tsi,
Tsuas vim peb lub npe hu ua Hmoob.
Vim li cas peb yuav taug peb kab ke,
Vim li cas peb yuav ua peb kos tshoob?
Tsis vim tsav niaj tus dab tsi,
Tsuas vim peb lub npe hu ua Hmoob.
Peb muaj peb li ntshav,
Peb muaj peb li nqaij.
Peb muaj peb li siab,
Peb muaj peb li hmoov.
Peb yog saum ntiaj teb no ib haiv neeg,
Luag muaj pes tsawg xyoo yus los muaj pes tsawg xyoo.
Peb nquag ua qoob loo,
Peb li tswv yim coob.
Peb muaj kev txawj ntse,
Peb li siab ntsws zoo.
Peb Hmoob txawm nyob rau qab ntuj khwb,
Sab hnub tuaj nyob txog sab hnub poob.
Peb tsis ntshai leej twg,
Peb tsis ua qhev ntxoog.
Peb tsis khib leej twg,
Peb tsis txeeb teev ntoo.
Peb nrog txhua yam haiv neeg ntaus phooj ywg,
Tso dag zog muab peb neej nyoog txhim kho zoo.
Txawm tias mus txog lub teb chaws twg peb yog Hmoob,
Txawm tias dhau lawm pes tsawg niaj xyoos peb yog Hmoob.
Peb tsis txawj hnov qab peb lub npe ---
Hmoob! Hmoob!! Hmoob!!!
