The issue of incorrect lyrics in musical works has been a long-standing problem. Many works by generations of composers are sung with the wrong lyrics, becoming commonplace and widespread over time. Meanwhile, the original lyrics are often forgotten. In Trinh Cong Son's music alone, dozens of songs have been sung with incorrect lyrics and have become familiar to many generations of listeners.
