Hmong Cultural New Year - Fresno, CA - Funny Interview of MyKurt Lor by Ah Her w/ Subtitles & Lyrics

In this video, Ah Her was interviewing Hmong musician/singer MyKurt Lor near his booth at the Hmong Cultural New Year Celebration in Fresno, California, U.S.A., 2018-2019.  

In Hmong, the sound of the word for 'Hmong Poetry Singing' (Hmong Folk Song) is very similar to that of the word 'animal.'  This simple mistake help makes this video hilarious and educational.  I've created subtitles for further educational purposes.  Please enjoy, share, comment, and like.  Thank you.  

Lyrics to the 'animal' (tus tsiaj) or kwv txhiaj (Hmong Folk Song) by MyKurt:  

Niam es....
Me niam leej ntxhais es,
Koj niam koj txiv nom,
Dab tsis rov yug,
Kom mog....

Niam yug rab room,
Taws teeb loom,
Es qaum room,
Taws teej cig....,
Niam yug tau kom....

Cev nkauj xwb pam phluv,
Dawb mos nyum,
Nyoos es ntsem muag nias,
Hluag li ntxhi,
Nas nkauj Hmoob os....!
