Now that I've seen her playback 

Bravo Szandor! Nice try and I enjoyed it although I don't know the history, not having seen Miss Saigon nor ever heard about Zahira ! You have a good voice, you should keep on. Will come listen to you.

oh thanks so much! I am so very happy that now I can sing songs that earlier were so difficult for me or even impossible. I am going to practice a lot more!!

The original song here is sung by the wife of an American who before he had married here was in the Vietnam War and had a love affair with a girl there. Then he came back to America and didn't know that the girl, Kim, was pregnant. He got married to an American woman (who sings this song) and is happy... but then somehow (I don't know why) he's returning with his wife to Vietnam and meets Kim and his child. In this song, his wife says that now, that she's seen Kim, she can understand why her husband never told her about this relationship, because Kim is a great woman. But that she also loves her husband and is going to fight for him.
And in the end of the musical, Kim commits suicide so that she won't stand betweem him and his wife, but her child can have a father.
Very sad story!

Zahira is a role playing character of mine, so she's not important, you don't have to know her ;o)

Thank you Szandor for taking your time to tell me the story. Indeed, it is sad. Why love stories have to be more often sad than happy?

I don't know.. perhaps because they so often are in real life, too?
