SOME THINGS ARE FELT, BEFORE THEY ARE SAID.

Cha ơi! Xin thời gian chậm lại,
Để con được bên cha thêm tháng ngày.

Dad, please let time slow down.
Let me stay by your side a little longer.

“Cha ơi” is a tribute to the fathers who love quietly. Through a Vietnamese ballad and AI-created visuals, Thong Nguyen gives a voice to gratitude, memory, and the words we wish we had said sooner.
