Maiv Muas Xyooj - Nraug Hmoob Ntsuab (Official Lyric Video)

- Dear friends and family,
I hope you all grab your favorite people, sit down, and enjoy my official audio, “Nraug Hmoob Ntsuab”.
A LOT of things influenced me to write my song the way it is, and the language as is, such as the Hmoob Dawb and Moob Leeg dialects. I acknowledge that Moob Leeg and Hmoob Ntsuab are both different and are used differently, but in my experience growing up, “it depended on who you asked.” I wrote this song to show what it felt like as a Hmoob Dawb girl who grew up thinking that the world was just Hmoob Dawb and Hmoob Ntsuab because “everybody” said so. While unaware that Moob Leeg is the correct term for the dialect and having a lack of exposure to the many parts of her history, she proceeds to learn and interpret it as Hmoob Ntsuab. She spends her time learning about the culture as is based on the media, politics, and elders who told the folktales. Through this song, I wanted to show that in this Hmoob Dawb girl’s life, she’s confused and heartbroken as to why her lover left her, while also navigating the complexity of her Hmong identity, dialects, and culture in America.
Growing up, when Hmong people said “educate yourself”, it was mostly through passive aggressiveness. Often times this was discouraging. I want to acknowledge that our community had historically depended on oral history to learn about our past. History becomes a mystery for many, and traumatic for others. This song isn’t to perpetuate any harm or discrimination. When I got older and became more exposed to our culture and interacted with more Moob Leeg folks who spoke fluently, I began to use Moob Leeg in my vocabulary. The art is to tell a story from a perspective of a bigger picture.

*ps. “*Muab cov lus Hmoob Dawb” and “Cas wb daim ntawv tsis sib raug” should be the right spellings. My Hmoob spellings got the best of me with this video, but enjoy. Danggggg!😊

The switch to Hmong ntsuab at the end was the cherry on top 🩷
Damn that end though, hmoob green ftw 😮
It's the Chef's kiss. Absolutely perfect! 👍
Love that switch though 😂 ❤
🔥 at the end..
@@SamWhite-xp2rtwell if they followed traditions like they said they did, then they wouldn’t have let him marry you then. Times have changed so they should let it go. Lol
First woman to sing about hmong nstuab, I appreciate it.
Different taste lyric... not copy cats like others hmong singers
Whyteshadows was the first Hmong band to legit sing in Moob Leeg.
These kids are too young to remember WhyteShadow. They were the first to sing in hmoob green.
She made us moob leej heart very happy.
did ya just got out of the caves... theirs whyteshadow and kassie chang
The switch at the end precisely shows why a lot of us lost the moon trying to chase for the stars.... WE NEED A MUSIC VIDEO SOON!
She does have a music video.
Hits right in the heart! Went through this and it broke me. While i was learning his language he left, he told me it was cause he dont want to disappoint his mom. 😢 The things we do for love.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that 😢😔❤
I will say you dodged a bullet. Rather it be now then live a life of lwj lwj siab
Yes. The things we do for love 💔
You dodged a bullet trust me, goes to show he will listen to his mommy for life. Those are the worse partners to be with since they are easily influenced to follow the directions of other people.
Yog os sister. The things we do for love. 💕
Hmoob aw.... please send your hmoob ntsuab tub to mend her broken heart. 😢❤
Yog hmoob ntsuab tsis hlub ces Hmoob dawb mam li hlub os mog. Peb niam peb txiv, nyiam koj kawg os mi nkauj hmoob dawb aw....
Beautiful tone and texture in your voice, heartfelt emotions, love the simplicity of the lyrics. You are amazing, sister. Please don't ever settle for less. You are deserving of a great love. Ua siab loj os mog, your prince charming will arrive soon. Keep singing, don't ever stop. ❤
Wow, cas yuav hais tau siab zoo ua luaj!
Damn Hope is that you?!?!?!?!
caas hmoob ntsuab yuav ua ua nws mob mob sab hab ua nws broken heart ces kom nws tis los hlub nraug hmoob leeg thiaj hlub tiag lol....
I can’t find the right words to fathum how beautiful and artistic of a song this is… The melody, the vocals, the build up, the instruments, the guitar solo, the emotions, the story telling, the bpm, a perfect pace to set the tone. I was losing my mind listening to this song from start to end! And then you hit us with a couple green lines at the end to top it all off?! Saying you learned green in hopes and questions of continuing the love story?! NO YOU DIDN’T! 😭 It was like watching your team hit a buzzer beater to win the game. No way you just did that! That was crazy. I wasn’t expecting that at all. My heart my lung! Felt like I was watching a sadass kdrama. This song really drew me in. I felt the emotions like I was the main character 💀 Thanks for the song! 💙
Oh my gosh, this is one of the most put together comment I've read yet! Thank you!
Agreed it is so beautiful!
Omg u took the words out of my mouth. I was just telling my husband exactly what u just said. This song is a masterpiece. I’ve never experienced this kind of thing but I felt that I was the girl singing the song. How. Freakn. Crazy is that? Literally, my heart hurt! ❤
I agree with every word you said! You took the words out of my mouth. I wish there was a guy who could respond well, but I don't think I found one yet, lol.
I love the singer and her voice, but the song's content is so dumb. If this song hits you, then you need better role models. You don't need to achieve more; you need to know you're enough.
The raw emotions in her voice, the story, the lyrics and the melody. I’m a musician and far from a great one but I know a good song when I hear one and this one is it. Saw the video on Facebook of her singing and came straight to TH-cam and it’s been on repeat all day. Congratulations on a solid masterpiece of a song Maiv Muas Xyooj and all those who had a hand in composing this!
Beautiful song, and I do feel sad that this still exists today. I'm white and married my green husband, but I am truly grateful he and my parents (in laws) never once made me feel different from them. They always say, "We're all Hmong". They're so loving and never once forced me to speak green. They told me I could speak either. Whatever is comfortable for me.
My parents on my side never made my husband feel different, too.
They all say "as long as we love each other, they're happy".
I do hope that our Hmong people will change and love everyone the same.
This song brought tears to eyes. I married a Hmoob Ntsuab guy and even though his parents accepted me- there was a lot of pressure just bc of the dialect differences. Beautiful song and lyrics. ❤❤
Both dialect are beautiful in their own ways, but often not accepted because parents rather have their children date within dialect. But coming from a nkauj hmoob leeg, I love this so much!! 🥹 great job!! 💕🫶🏻
I didn’t know that was a thing but that’s good to know
Dayummms. This one hit. The more you really dive into how Maiv uses her music to tell a story about just how heartbreaking it is to suffer the consequences of a simple language barrier...
Stop the capp
What a great song. That 2:52 part, I can feel the emotions. Thank you for the phenomenal vocals.
Kuv yeej tsis txawj hais lus hmoob, tabsis txawm yog ib tug hmoob, kuv nyiam hom nkauj no! qhov no ua rau kuv so. Kuv yog lus Askiv zoo, thiab ua hmoob yog qhov zoo heev!
I had to use a translator to actually get to the Hmong, so the english is:
I can't really speak hmong fluently, but even as a hmong, i love this type of music! this one keeps me relaxed. i am fluent english, and being hmong is very nice!
(I am green hmong!)
I had little experience almost like this when I was dating my wife. Shes green and I'm white and I'm happy we both were strong to not let our color be the issues in our life. This is an Awesome song. The end was a killer. ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your story. 🩷
I am a Hmong Leeg daughter, i am very impress of the ending of the switch. I know the feeling of being with a Hmong dawb it’s very hard. Our words are a twist. My husband is Hmong dawb he doesn’t understand Hmong Leeg or know to speak it.
The words have a good meaning, the song hits the spot. It gives a good/ bad vibe how back then OG would always convince Hmong leeg should date their Hmong leeg and Hmong dawb should date their own kind because the language.
I once dated a Hmong dawb before I met my husband his family didn’t like me because I am Hmong leeg. I was willing to learn to speak. It wasn’t still good enough. He left me.. I’m happy to say thank you to him. I found my husband. He loves me even though I am Hmong leeg.
Have never heard a single OG in my life that said that. It all depend on the people and relative you grew up with on what they believe. I am too Hmoob Leeg
At the end of the day, it's just a language dialect different, it's not a whole different language that barrier us. OG just have bad takes on it especially in this modern time we live in, xab thoj movie on it tho is pretty funny XD
@@hangster559during our days this happened. Brings back days in my teens. But is okay. My husband is white. His parents don’t even like me. It won’t matter in my kids era. They are free to choose nkauj hmoob ntsuab ua kuv tus nyab. My daughters are okay to date Hmong Ntsuab too. On top of all, they are okay to date/marry any race. Isn’t my life not my kids so they are free to choose who they love that loves them.
Awww, not all hmoob ntsuab parents are like this 😢 many are loving and welcoming, parents and family. This family may have been like this to you but there are other hmoob ntsuab families that will love, appreciate, and welcome you with open arms ❤
I am like this. I only want my kids to marry hmoob ntsuab xwb.
I agree. My bestfriends are Hmong leeg and their parents are the sweetest. Another very good friend of mine is hmong white like me and her parents are definitely not ones i would approach, lol.
Omggg!!!!! Made me cryyyy!!!!. This would be vice versa as well..😢😢 greattt song! Keep it up
Now we wait for a nraug hmoob leeg to respond back 😢
Yes I know right
Yes !!
Es kuv nyob no ne
Omg can't wait lol
My boyfriend is green, he's impress how I can read in hmong leej like it's nothing but when I speak it, I trip here and there.😊
Thank you, Kristine. Beautiful lyrics. Ua rau kuv nco kuv niam thiab kuv tus nus thiab kuv tus niam laus. They are so missed beyond measure.
The emotions definitely shows through them vocals! Kho siab and hurt for no reason…
Same! I’m married to a Hmong ntsuab, and his family loves me… but this song making me get all the feels for no reason! 😭❤️ beautifully sung and produced!
Excuse me, but it is a crime that you only have one song. Please release more! Can't wait to hear more songs from you!
My sister showed me this song & here I am, listening to it all in my feels.
Somewhat, i felt sad listening to this song. It hit to the heart/ feeling. I loved her vocal in here. What a beautiful great song for cov hmoob dawb li peb tham hmoob ntsuag/leeg. 😢
Nyiam Nkauj Hmoob Ntsuab hais lus qab zib.....!❤🔥❤🔥🎶💕
Beautiful song. The end when you switch to Hmong leeg got me all teary. So sad. I’m Hmong dawb and my husband is Hmong leeg. I’m so blessed my in laws don’t mind as I speak both dialect to them. 😆 My mother-in-law is also Hmong dawb so she understands.
Quá tuyệt vời với chất giọng này !!! Tui sẽ nghe đi nghe lại nhiều lần & bạn hãy tiếp tục nhiều bài hay như này nữa ❤❤❤❤
Wow, I'm lost with words. This song is truly amazing. Thank you for this amazing song so I can replay this over and over. ❤
Thank you
Nice song. My dad is Hmong dawb and my mom is Hmong Ntsuab or leeg.
At the end, we speak both dialects. Im Hmong dawb but have a Hmoob ntsuab or leeg name.
When i was 3 or 4 years my green dialect was so strong. Sometimes my dad speaks green.
Im sure some Hmong people are wondering why 😂.
This song is beautifully sad. You have beautiful vocals.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful song. Tomorrow will be 1 year without my dad. It’s been a long bumpy road without him… 😢😢😢
Gives me 2009 Sudden Rush vibes ❤❤ wish it was Hmoob Leeg instead though 😅
Omgod I was thinking the exact same thing! If it was hmong green and then Hmong dawb at the end! Ouuuu so good!
There is a male response to this song where he is singing ntsuab and at the end sings dawb. His name is Lang Her- just heard it today!
Ua tsaug nej ho muaj zaj nkauj zoo heev❤😢
perfect timing where this comes out 😭😭 i love it so so much
Nraug hmoob leeg MAs lis teb koj nawb. Love this.
Everyone only talking about the lyrics and meaning BUT EDDIE THAO KILLED HIS SOLOOOOOO😮😮😮😮😮😮 his solo was definitely my favorite part..❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Can you share where to listen to his solo?
@@maithao7320I’m assuming she’s talking about the guitar 🎸 solo
I recently discovered this song because of my fiancé. We both love this song! Tugs so much at the heartstrings. It’s been on repeat since then. ❤️
P.s. He’s also Hmong green and I’m Hmong white. Lol but thankfully no, we didn’t go through what the song told. 😁
Wow my soul! ❤ I got teary at the end! I'm hmong white and also married into hmong green family. I'm glad my inlaws accepted me as who I am but there was always the pressure and encouragement to learn their dialect. Living with them til this day, I've learned alot in their differences of dialect and culture itself. And I say I've learned enough to speak the bare minimum 😅. Love your music and voice! Keep them coming! ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your story and for listening to my song. I appreciate it. :)
Best Hmong song release of 2024
Agreed 👍
It's sad cause, this entire song was my exact experience, made me go through memory lane... put me in my feels... that ending HIT. Damn good song tho, keep it up!!! ❤
Hu tau zoo heev li
Omg! I accidentally clicked on this song looking for Dang Thao Leej Muam Dai Siab and BAM!!!! I hit Jackpot!!! I love your song! It is so so beautiful and was on repeat for the last hour. Where have you been this whole time???!!!??? Thank you for making such a beautiful song that pulls on our heart strings. Such amazing beautiful raw talent you have hidden. Such a gem! Share it with the world sis! ❤
Hu tau zoo heev o tu hu yg leej twg na xaxav pom❤
When this song was first released it was only a few days after my dad had passed and i could just not bring myself to listen to this song because every time i tried i would cry my eyes out.. the words for this song was just so meaningful and touches the heart!😢 its been 3 months now and every time this song comes on it still makes me cry 😢😢 i miss my dad every single day. Forever will be in my heart ❤
This song is on repeat and I'm a hmoob dawb married to a hmoob dawb, lol. Love it. ❤️
This really hits the spot. My husband is white and I’m green. Been married 20 yrs now, not a sec second goes by he doesn’t let our language barrier breaks us. The best part I love about him is he understands green and his grandmother is green and she knew he will marry someone who is green. Our grandmother (RIP) still til today protected us.
The real ones tell you the truth and not what you want or dont want to hear. Truth is you are hmong grammy worthy. 🙇♂️👏
I love it... I can hear what you want to say through your song. very touching... and that solo is a beast!!!!
I’ve been listening to this on repeat for the repeat 6 hours. Can’t wait for you to release more songs!
Hu tau zoo heev li os suab zoo tshaj li
Wow I randomly saw this and I’m glad I did. Brings sudden rush vibes from 2009-2012. Great job hmong sister! Keep writing & singing 😉💕
If you’re consistent in putting out music, I can see you blowup into becoming as big as Ma Vue and Sudden Rush or even bigger!! Keep pushing out music! 🙏
Putting everything aside. What I love about your music is the PASSION.
เพลงม้งเพลงนี้ จะเป็นอีก 1 เพลงที่ดังแน่นอนครับ..ทั้งเสียงหวยหวน ทั้งทำนองการร้อง ร้องได้ดีมากๆ ครับ❤
Wow I love it when you scream it out. I feel that. Heartfelt mob siab tshaj!
1ລ້ານແລ້ວmaiv 🎉🎉
Changing & improving yourself for love but he didn’t love you enough to stand with you. He will never deserve you. You’ve proven you’re stronger & a better person than he will ever be.
She isn’t even sure if it’s because of the dialect difference that’s causing his parents to not like her. It be a plethora of other things, like her “great” personality. Seems like she only changed after the fact that she already lost him.
I hate to say this but brother and my sister-in-law has been married for a little over 30 years now and her mom still not like us.
Great Job on the hmoob green part. I can tell hmoob dawb is your main dialect. According to this fairytale, you pass hmoob ntsuab with flying colors. You get my vote for best hmong song in 2024!
I am in love with this song you have such a beautiful voice ❤
Felt like I just watched a super sad Drama. Such a beautiful song. Got goosebumps listening this.
Literally just said this when my Hmong friend played this for me this morning 🥺Immediately asked for the song name and now I’m here lol
Beautiful!! So many of us can relate to this beautiful song.
I love the song! I started crying at the end🥹🤍 You did amazing!!
Omg! I totally fell in love with this song in an instant! Currently on repeat on my playlist. Reminiscing about my youth and bringing so much memories. This actually happened to me and that is why I've decided to learn the different dialect. Thanks MMX.
I love your display of emotions in the songs and your voice. It flows so well with the music. Can't wait to hear more from you.
Omg we def need an MV for this song!
I'm so obsessed...such a beautiful song that triggers emotions deep deep.... Thank you for being you! Cant wait to hear more from you!
Hands down another unique hmong singer. It amazes me how hmong songs are becoming so beautiful.
What a beautiful song! Heartbreaking! Love your voice! I love how u write this song! The ending is amazing! ❤❤❤❤❤ can’t wait for more of your music!
Beautiful! The ending switcharoo…..heartbreaking. The song is perfect. Well done Maiv!!
This is a beautiful song filled with such raw emotions. I love that you sang in hmong dlawb and then the twist with the hmong leeg (love it). I am hmong leeg and feel that love is love no matter what dialect you may speak. It is unfortunate when this becomes a factor in losing someone you love. Thank you for sharing this song. You sang the hmong leeg part so beautifully ❤
This song resonates with my parents so much!!! Thank you!
Beautiful song ❤ it. You def got it right now in my opinion..nobody is touching you 💯 My lady is green, I completely understand
Omgggg this is literally your soul writing this 😌💞. I love every bit of it 💞💞💞
The only universal language is Love. It’s not spoken, it’s put into action.
I love it! You did an amazing job of portraying a story through the song. The way you control your voice, the emotions, the tone, melody, and everything is perfect. The repetition of the chorus to build the climax and ending was beautiful.
I think better word choices could have been made, but regardless, it was beautifully done.
My husband had to explain to me about what the song was about. My Hmong isn't the greatest. What a sad song!!! It was written so beautifully.
The high notes gave me goosebumps! I love your voice so much and so happy to finally listen to one of your own creation.
You have the Voice of an angel. Definitely touched the inner depth of the heart with your voice. ❤
just fell in love with you all over again 😍😍 fan since the facebook cover days. love your voice super unique. song on repeat for my 8 hour shift at work haha =) keep it up. the ending with the hmong green ....chills!
I really like your voice. FC from Thailand. I'm in love.
Love your song!! I love the vibe of this song. It's very 2000s!
Wow, just wow❤ This song has been on repeat for me and it sound as good as the first time each time. Guitar solo part made this song even better🔥 I thought the song was already so good then you sang that last part in green and you couldnt have end it better than that♥️
I love it!! You have no idea how much this song hit close to home! Thank you for such a heartfelt and meaningful song! Your voice is so soothing that it takes this song to a whole other level!!
This song hits my guts all the way!! It’s filled with so much emotions that it made me feel like I was in love with a nraug hmoob ntsuab !!
High quality voice and beautiful lyrics❤❤ I highly give 10/10❤
Amazing!!! !!!
Sang from the heart! Your Hmong green was perfect!
Beautiful song. Love the rock/heavy metal incorporated vocals and instrumental wise. Not too many rock vibe female hmong artists out there. ❤
This is such a sad song and tells the story of many brokenhearts.
Finally some good music!!! What a heart throb. Pulling my heart strings.
Omg the electric guitar solo is 🔥🔥🔥
Kuv nyiam2 mloog txoj nkauj no heev li o ❤❤❤😊
This song hits in so many ways. Thank you 😢
The pain in your voice! 😭 my heart is hurting as if I’ve experienced it too 😂
This just proves if you have a beautiful voice you can make a song out of anything :)
WHOA! Eventho the song doesnt reflect to my feelings, the way you sing it hits the heart. So soothing, you got yourself a subscriber and a fan now! Great voice
This song was beautifully written and sung. Like so many others, I too had my heart broken when I fell in love with a nraug hmoob ntsuab in the mid 90’s😂
🙌 🙌 this song made me so sad, although I’m not in the same situation but I’ve seen/heard of this, it’s true but I’m not going to say all (vice versa too). I’m a nkauj hmoob dlawb married to nraug ntsuab for 16yrs now.
Oh my gosh! New favorite! Amazing voice!
The end sent chills down my spine! So unexpected!!!!
This is absolutely beautifully written and sung! Love your unique voice so much Maiv Muas! Keep your music coming! 👏🎉😍❤️🔥
It’s on repeat!
Fantastic job with this piece. I just heard it a couple days ago along with Halo's version and they've both been on repeat. Beautiful work, keep your art flowing. Love it. 🫶
