    • 2015, “Nếu Không Thể Đến Với Nhau”, performed by Trịnh Đình Quang:
      Sau bao sóng gió ta đã vượt qua
      Anh tưởng hạnh phúc đã đến với mình
      Anh tưởng không thể có sự đổi thay
      Nào ngờ cuộc sống không cho ta trọn vẹn ước mơ
      After all the storms we have weathered
      I thought happiness had finally arrived
      I thought nothing would ever change
      Little did we imagine that life did not give us the perfect dream
