Ly Folk Song or Ly Nam Bo
These folk songs, however, are much more developed
in the South. The various ly songs of
the South contain different subject matters, as well as unique musical
characteristics. The ly songs of the
South depict the activities of production, emotions, and the thoughts of the
people in their daily lives. Animals, plants, flowers, love, and marriage are
also described in the ly folk songs.
Some folk songs describe the common aspirations of the people or criticize
disgraceful practices. The ly songs
of the people in South Vietnam reflect the daily lives of the local residents.
Although the songs have various styles, sorrow is the prominent characteristic
described in the words of the songs. The songs are considered rather modest,
simple, and mischievous.
