Kim Sa Ngư (Translated as Sequin Goldfish) is a masked celebrity contestant on the first Vietnamese season of The Masked Singer Vietnam.

Characteristics[]

Appearance[]

Kim Sa Ngu 022

Kim Sa Ngư in the third performance.

Kim Sa Ngư is a princess-looking goldfish with an elegant colorful costume. Her costume features a long orange dress, a silver belt with colorful ruffles that resembles her fins, as she also has her fins on the side and back her head and a large ribbon collar. Along with the dress, she wears silver bracelets that attached with a folding silk hand fan. The mask itself, is that of a goldfish, with a crown, red lipstick, deep blue eyes and glitter eyelashes.

After the Round 1, she is shown holding a star-shaped magic staff in order to match the amotsphere of her song.

Notably, in the All-star concert, she no longer holds a star-shaped magic staff.

Personality[]

"In your golden age, people thought you were just an idol in a cute girl band, but in fact, your voice is stronger than you've ever shown. Your voice range is wide and correct audio points, your high notes are so typical. When you sang in round two, I knew who you are. I admire the way you distracted everyone in round one, I don't know how you did that but I really worship it."
 
Trấn Thành commented on Kim Sa Ngư after unmasking in Episode 7.
Kim Sa Ngu 009

Kim Sa Ngư appears splendidly like a princess.

Kim Sa Ngư has a gentle, sweet personality and a charming, witty way of speaking, which created comfort for the panelists when they interacting with her. She also pretended to be the overly girlish attitude of singer Lâm Khánh Chi, such as crybabying and asking everyone to call her princess, if not, she will be "Angry! Angry! Angry!", which made people laugh crazily. Overall, Kim Sa Ngư's attitude has many characteristics of Lương Bích Hữu, but what makes 90% of the audience not think of her because in the first round, she was trying to make her voice deeper just like a Mezzo-Soprano, so everyone never thought of Lương Bích Hữu, who was famous for her signature Light Lyric Soprano a.k.a baby voice.


Many predictions have been made about female singers with deep, husky voices such as Khánh Ngọc, Giang Hồng Ngọc, Phương Anh, etc. Until the second round, the entire audience was surprised when she sang in a different tone, brighter, smooter. At this point, the assertions "It can't be Lương Bích Hữu even if she fakes her voice" have begun to be shaken. Amid much controversy, the media concluded that "No matter who that is, the talent of changing voice of the one behind this mask has truly conquered everyone".

Kim Sa Ngư's songs also moved the audience when she performed so sincerely and get into it, making the songs much more beautiful and elegant. Especially the song about father in Episode 4, she had to stall a bit because she was really shedding tears behind the mask, which even made the audience and the panelists cry, marking the wonderful return of one of the Vietnamese legendary singers.

Vietnamese English Translation
Xem Như Em Chẳng May Seems Like I'm Out Of Luck
Người hôm qua em thấy là ai đấy Who was that person I saw yesterday?
Sao anh lại chết lặng như vậy Why are you dumbfounded like that?
Một giờ đêm sao anh còn chưa nhắn tin về 1am already, why haven’t you texted back?
Em cứ mãi ngẩn ngơ chờ anh I just keep waiting for you dazedly

Tại sao yêu đến thế lại gian dối Why did you lie like that, despite how much we love?
Con tim em vỡ tan mất rồi My heart is already broken
Tưởng chừng ta hạnh phúc I thought we could stay happy
Cùng nhau đến muôn đời Together for our lives
Chưa buông tay anh thay áo mới While holding hands, you’ve changed a new person

Ngọt ngào đến mấy cũng tan thành mây No matter how sweet, it just dissolved into the clouds
Dại khờ thuở ấy khi đan bàn tay How foolish that time when we held hands
Yêu thương trao hết chỉ I give you all my love
Giữ lại đây thân gầy Only to receive this withered body
Xem như em chẳng may Seems like I’m out of luck

Nỗi buồn em giấu sau lớp màn mưa I hid my sorrow behind the rain curtains
Gượng cười khi biết I try to fake smile
Em là người giữa hai người Knowing that I am a thirdwheel now
Còn lại gì cho nhau Is there anything left for us?
Ngoài những lời ngôn tình quá dư thừa Except for the overly superfluous romantic words

Em không muốn nghe I reject to listen to them

Người hôm qua em thấy là ai đấy Who was that person I saw yesterday?
Sao anh lại chết lặng như vậy Why are you dumbfounded like that?
Một giờ đêm sao anh còn chưa nhắn tin về 1am already, why haven’t you texted back?
Em cứ mãi ngẩn ngơ chờ anh I just keep waiting for you dazedly

Tại sao yêu đến thế lại gian dối Why did you lie like that, despite how much we love?
Con tim em vỡ tan mất rồi My heart is already broken
Tưởng chừng ta hạnh phúc I thought we could stay happy
Cùng nhau đến muôn đời Together for our lives
Chưa buông tay anh thay áo mới While holding hands, you’ve changed a new person

Ngọt ngào đến mấy cũng tan thành mây No matter how sweet, it just dissolved into the clouds
Dại khờ thuở ấy khi đan bàn tay How foolish that time when we held hands
Yêu thương trao hết chỉ I give you all my love
Giữ lại đây thân gầy Only to receive this withered body
Xem như em chẳng may Seems like I’m out of luck

Nỗi buồn em giấu sau lớp màn mưa I hid my sorrow behind the rain curtains
Gượng cười khi biết I try to fake smile
Em là người giữa hai người Knowing that I am a thirdwheel now
Còn lại gì cho nhau Is there anything left for us?
Ngoài những lời ngôn tình quá dư thừa Except for the overly superfluous romantic words

Em không muốn nghe I reject to listen to them

Vietnamese English Translation
Sao Cha Không Dad, Why You Don't?
Cha đứng với con nhìn phố xa xa You stand with me and look at the town
Dặn con ra sao cứ luôn mỉm cười You tell me to always smile
Như cách cha giấu mệt mỏi ngày dài Like how you hide your tiresome in a long day
Khi trở về nhà vẫn ắp niềm vui You're still happy when coming back home

Cha nói với con phải vững tin lên You tell me to have faith in myself
Đừng bao giờ quên giấc mơ của mình Don't ever forget my dreams
Tuổi thơ của con có cha đồng hành
Là điều vô giá
It's invaluable that
I have you accompany me in my childhood

Ngày con thêm lớn khôn When I grow up
Cảm nhận thêm rõ hơn cuộc đời To know more about life
Con biết cha đã thăng trầm I know you've been through ups and down
Con biết cha còn muôn lời thầm lặng I know you've been so quiet

Vì sao cha ơi Why don't you, dad?
Chẳng kể con nghe điều cha tiếc nuối Tell me the regret you've hidden
Từ lâu chôn giấu For so long
Khi đã phải quên đam mê đời mình You had to forget your own passion
Để con no ấm cha chật vật mưu sinh You've tried so hard for our living

Vượt qua sóng gió lời cha dẫn bước I get over all the downs, your words guide me
Mở rộng tim con bao dung như cha Open my heart and be as tolerant as you
Trong đêm đau thương vẫn yêu cuộc đời In the pain we still love this life
Vẹn nguyên mơ ước như ánh sao trời To protect our dream like the star
Nhưng sao không nói cùng con cha ơi Why don't you tell me, dad?

Khi những cánh chim mùa cũ bay qua When the birds fly to here
Càng mang nhiều hơn bóng mây tuổi già They bring more clouds of age
Tại sao cha không thảnh thơi nhàn hạ Why don't you enjoy life a bit?
Nhận về muộn phiền không nói được ra You suffer all sorrow and been so quiet

Con đứng với cha một quãng xuân xanh I've stood with you in a part of my youth
Niềm tin về cha chẳng bao giờ ngừng My faith in you never stops
Nhưng sao bao nhiêu điều cha chịu đựng After all you've suffered
Con không được biết I don't get a chance to know

Thời gian trôi quá nhanh Time passing by so fast
Chẳng một ai sống hơn một lần No one can live more than once
Khi đã quen với thăng trầm I've been used to ups and downs
Con biết cha có viết thương trong tim I know how much your heart is hurt

Vì sao cha ơi Why don't you tell me, dad?
Chẳng kể con nghe điều cha tiếc nuối Tell me the regret you've hidden
Từ lâu chôn giấu For so long
Khi đã phải quên đam mê đời mình You had to forget your own passion
Để con no ấm cha chật vật mưu sinh You've tried so hard for our living

Vượt qua sóng gió lời cha dẫn bước I get over all the downs, your words guide me
Mở rộng tim con bao dung như cha Open my heart and be as tolerant as you
Trong đêm đau thương vẫn yêu cuộc đời In the pain we still love this life
Chỉ nhiều tiếc nuối khi ngước lên cao To protect our dream like the star
Sao cha không ở cùng con lâu hơn Why don't you stay with me longer, dad?

Con cứ tin con đã luôn hiểu hết về cha I thought I understood everything about you
Nhưng không phải But I didn't

Vì sao cha ơi Why don't you, dad?
Chẳng kể con nghe To tell me everything

Điều cha tiếc nuối từ lâu chôn giấu The regret you've hidden for so long
Khi đã phải quên đam mê đời mình You had to forget your own passion
Để con no ấm cha chật vật mưu sinh You've tried so hard for our living

Vượt qua sóng gió lời cha dẫn bước I get over all the downs, your words guide me
Mở rộng tim con bao dung như cha Open my heart and be as tolerant as you
Trong đêm đau thương vẫn yêu cuộc đời In the pain we still love this life
Chỉ nhiều tiếc nuối khi ngước lên cao To protect our dream like the star
Sao cha không ở cùng con lâu hơn Why don't you stay with me longer, dad?

Em Vẫn Tin Vào Tình Yêu Đấy I Still Believe In That Love
Phút giây đó mình mong có đôi We dream to be together in that dream
Em vẫn nhớ là lần gặp đầu tiên I still remember at our first sights
Mình nhìn nhau rất lâu
Tim rung động
We looked at each other for so long
Our hearts stopped
Bên cạnh anh vòng tay siết chặt In your embracing arms
Trao nụ hôn ngọt ngào say đắm We kiss passionately
Cả thế giới như dừng lại quanh mình The whole world stops right here
Khi yêu đâu lường trước được trái ngang We can't predict sorrow in love
Yêu nhau đâu nào đến được với nhau It's not easy to be together

Rồi mình xa nhau từ đó, em vẫn tin rằng có đôi We break apart since then, I still believe together
Dẫu cho tình xa xôi em mãi yêu anh thôi Though our love seems far away, I still love you
Mong đến một ngày người quay trở về I hope one day you'll come back
Vì em tin trong anh vẫn luôn luôn có em I believe you always have me in your heart
Rồi mình bên nhau cùng bước
Ta sẽ băng vượt bão giông
Together
We overcome troubles
Đến biển trời hạnh phúc của hai chúng ta mong đợi To the place of happiness we both dream of
Dẫu vẫn biết rằng tình yêu sẽ không dễ dàng Though I know it is not easy in love
Trải qua bao nhiêu đau thương với nỗi đắng cay So much pain and sorrow, we hope to be together
Mong được bên nhau I hope to be together
Yêu là cùng vượt qua bao cách xa Love is overcoming long distances together
Yêu là con tim xa hoá gần Love is a heart that is distant and close
Người yêu ơi em chờ anh nhé My love, please wait for me
Chờ anh về Waiting for you

Phút giây đó mình mong có đôi We dream to be together in that dream
Em vẫn nhớ là lần gặp đầu tiên I still remember at our first sights
Mình nhìn nhau rất lâu
Tim rung động
We looked at each other for so long
Our hearts stopped
Bên cạnh anh vòng tay siết chặt In your embracing arms
Trao nụ hôn ngọt ngào say đắm We kiss passionately
Cả thế giới như dừng lại quanh mình... The whole world stops right here...
Khi yêu đâu lường trước được trái ngang We can't predict sorrow in love
Yêu nhau đâu nào đến được với nhau... It's not easy to be together...

Vietnamese English Translation
Buông Tay Nhau Thôi Just Let Go
Trời đã gần sáng It's almost dawn
Bóng tối đang tan 5 giờ 18 The darkness is lifting at 5:18
Chớp mắt cho vơi nỗi buồn Take a nap to relieve sadness
Đêm dài miên man The night is endlessly long
Và anh vẫn chưa về, anh ở đâu? And you're still not home, where are you?

Vẫn là cuộc sống It's still life
Vẫn ở bên nhau nhưng từ lâu lắm Still together but it's been a long time
Chẳng nói nhau thêm mấy câu We didn't say a few more words to each other
Nhưng tại vì sao But why?
Mình vẫn sống với nhau như một thói quen? Do we still live together as a habit?

Rồi nhiều đêm lặng im nằm cạnh bên nhau Many silent nights lying next to each other
Mình không thể yêu nhau như lúc đầu We can't love each other like we did at first
Dù ta có cố gắng ra sao No matter how hard we try
Thì chắc sẽ đi về đâu? Then where will it go?

Chúng ta từng là cả thế giới We were the whole world of each other
Cuộc sống âm thầm trôi But life passes silently
Nhiều khi mình không nhận ra là ta đã
Khác nhiều rồi
Sometimes we don't realize that
We was so different
Đêm về đơn côi Lonely night
Tim không có nhau gần nhau cũng thế thôi It's useless if hearts are not together

Có bao giờ hai ta tự hỏi Have we ever wondered?
Phải tiếp tục làm sao? How to continue?
Thì thôi, thà mình chia tay tìm 2 lối thoát Then, we'd rather break up and find two ways out
Để cho chúng ta không phải giả vờ yêu gian dối So that we don't have to pretend to love and lie
Mình hãy... buông tay nhau thôi Let's... just let go of each other's hands
