De Bruiloft
The Musical Cast of Miss Saigon Lyrics

The song "De Bruiloft" is from the musical "Miss Saigon" and is sung in Dutch, as the story takes place in a Vietnamese setting. The opening lines "Dju vui vay Dju vui vay, Vju doi may Vju doi may, Du vui vay Du vui vay, Vao myay may" translate to "Happy Party, Happy Party, We Dance Together, We Dance Together, Happy Party, Happy Party, Come and Join Us." The lyrics then shift to a plea for forgiveness from a young woman named Kim to her deceased mother. She asks her mother, who gave her life, to shine a kindly light on her new husband and forgive her daughter's heart. The rest of the bridal party then joins in, requesting her blessing and asking her to show that she is still watching over them.

The song is a beautiful, joyful celebration of a wedding, but it also highlights the superstitious beliefs that are prevalent in Vietnamese culture. The characters seek the blessing and forgiveness of Kim's deceased mother, who is believed to be able to influence their lives from the afterlife. The song touches on themes of love, loss, and family, all of which are prominent in the musical.
