https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0GhlIHS20YMy recollection of the young lady who was taken away from her family and murdered in 2002. She was beautiful, smart, and had a future, but her life ended at 19 years old along with her baby boy. I remembered this happening like it was yesteryear striving along the good old internet days.(AA) Reading this thread about her life really brought tears knowing what she went through, and how she was bind to the old tradition that eventually led to her death. Years later, her husband was overheard telling another woman he would do the same to her as he did to his wife. Her life was a tragedy and reading her story brought the hope that someday our traditional system will be challenge. Murdered in cold blood, her life was inescapable having no one to turn to. She lived in the era where shame was brought upon those who return and every time she return, her parents forced her to go back to her husband.
I’m cleaning through my old cd writers and this happens to be saved. I don't want her memories to go unnoticed so telling her story will bring something good out of it. It has been over ten years since the glory days of internet emerge and I don't remembered who wrote the poem dedicated to Dara, but from the looks of it. It could be the lover of Dara Thao before she got married. The one girl who got away from him. I hope we all can appreciate this love poem and don't take any offense to the reminisced of his past.
In loving memory to Dara thao and her son.
We know that you're in a better place now and may you live
The life u always wanted.
When you pass away it seems like those horrible days,
Whatever happens to our love that we share?
I love you so much I can't longer bear
I still got love for those times we share
Hugging kissing, how much I very care
Remember the hot nights and cold days, hot lips and sexy hair
U makes me feel like I was your only man
And you was my only woman
But how this could be tearing falling from my eyes
I was at the beach waiting for you, but someone came by
Telling me you got another life with another man,
But how could this be
I love you so much my eyes can't even see
Still got memory of you and me, letting you go so easily
Was a hard thing for me?
Ever since the day u got marry I moved away
Crying hoping you would come by to say good-bye
You wasn't even there even though I wrote you a letter
All I got for memory is a picture of you and me
Sitting by the swing, I still remember that night when u gave me kiss
Even though I told u my lips were numbed
You still did it and I wonder Y?
CHORUS:
leej muaj koj mus koj mob
vim tia koj tus tsis nco txoj lawn ob
lub ncua muas tua pooj tab law
txoj tia koj tsis nyob loj kuv tseeb nyob tau koj saa koj pom rau lo
koj mus koj mo
es nco txoj kuv tia mo.
Many years have passed and I still got memory of you even though i moved on
each day trying to let you go, is a pain inside of my heart
finally i though to myself how happy u must be, being love by another man and not by me
one day happilly, visiting with my guy that live right next to my babi-boo
old places where we use to be
passing her house and seeing new faces asking him why theres so much people
things changes he said "didn't u know"
hearing the words shock me, how could this be "i though u live a happy life, but
in fact it was a tragedy.
It was the day when we went out and the day u left me
going in a place call "Heaven" living life without me
Tearing falling from my eyes as i stood watching you
walking the stair to Heaven and making your marks to the sky
seeing stars that made happy faces that look like you
i hope you live the life you wanted and one night we will meet again
when you rubbed your fingers through my hair,
You said
You told me you love me but how can this be
when i heard about the tragedy
tears dripping from eyes, falling like a thousands stars
i pretend it wasn't true, knowing the facts loving u in my heart
when u left me all alone in this unknown zone
i think about you all the time, it seems like you was here with me
thinking how u used to hug me, tears, memories of how it use to be..
though you're not here with me, u will alway be in my heart
koj nciam peb mus peb yeej xab txoj koj
tearing dripping
time going so fast
memories of you and me
sitting here so sad
wondering how it would of been..
O! it was like WHOA O O
ima let you know how i truly felt
when i was injured, you was there to help
i fell in love with you the first time i met
before i knew u it was like i was in a net
you change me in every way,
i can't even describes, the words, your face, can't even say
you're alway in my heart no matter where you are
everytime i looked out i see your stars
shinning, up in sky, wondering one day i'ma be there by your side
in loving memory
heaven place u will always be
koj pom ntxu txoj, tau nyob ua kev
koj hais tia kkoj yuav ntau kuv nyob
ua li cas koj tia mus tsis pom tia kuv hlub
i thinking to myself how we had plan
but now all i feel is tearing falling from my eyes
i pretend it wasn't true, but the fact is your really gone
i was
as time past ,
I remember how we were,
Now you're an angel departed to the heavenly sky,
