Former Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Le Nam Thang said he was the author of the poem that many people mistakenly believe was written by Tran Lap for his wife before he passed away. "The afternoon after Tran Lap's funeral, when I read articles and saw photos about his passing, I felt so moved that I wrote this poem and posted it on my personal page 'Nam Thang Khanh Chung' as well as on the page 'Tinh doi'", the author shared.
The original poem only had eight stanzas, then he added a stanza, edited some sentences, and added the English line "In memory of beloved rocker Tran Lap" so that people would not understand that this was a poem the male singer sent to his wife before he passed away.

The former Deputy Minister said he did not know singer Tran Lap, but was just a fellow Nam Dinh native. "Before he became seriously ill, Mr. Lap was known to everyone like other singers and musicians, but in the last four months he shone with admirable thoughts, actions, and determination, leaving behind much love and sorrow for everyone, including me," said Mr. Le Nam Thang.
The poem was shared by many people on social networks, some said it was Tran Lap's poem to his wife, some even claimed it was their own poem. "I think everyone loves Lap so they did that, I didn't think anything of it," said the author of the poem.
In addition to this poem, Mr. Le Nam Thang also wrote another poem called Warrior, about Tran Lap's friends in the motorcycle club who took him to his final resting place and shared it on his personal page.
* Poem You're Gone You're gone, the sun sets in the middle of spring You're gone, life is still green You're gone, there's no tomorrow. You left, the scent still lingers on my lips You're gone, life is full of thorns You're gone, everything will be fine. You left, taking all your feelings with you. You're gone, I'll be lonely I'm gone, don't cry anymore baby |
