[Verse 1]
These calloused hands tell stories untold
Of bamboo strings and lessons of old
My granddaddy's eyes watched every move
As I fought with that damn monochord blues
[Chorus]
Đàn bầu cryin', like a soul in pain
Mississippi meets Mekong, flowing through my veins
Every string I bend, every note I play
Carries whispers of yesterday
[Verse 2]
Soft hands bleedin' on metal strings
Young blood cursin' at simple things
"Patience, boy," he'd softly say
While I was itchin' to run away
But something kept me coming back for more
To that ancient sound I tried to ignore
[Bridge]
Now I understand what the old man knew
Some things break before they come through
His weathered hands guided mine
Through generations of deep bloodline
[Verse 3]
Years gone by, still hear him say
"Feel the music, don't just play"
Now when I slide across these strings
His spirit moves through everything
And that damn monochord sings so sweet
Like his soul and mine finally meet
[Outro]
Every bend and cry, every mournful tone
Speaks the language of flesh and bone
In these blues, I finally see
The gift my granddaddy gave to me
Now I'm playing what I couldn't say
When his hands guided mine that day
