In the second version of “Sài Gòn Buồn Quá Em Ơi”, Dế Choắt only plays the rap part and Jason sings the lyrics. The lyrics of this song are still the same as the first version that revolves around the sorrow emotions of a boy after breaking up with his girlfriend. He feels that Sài Gòn where he is living is very sad without his lover despite being very lively. He wonders if one day she can’t see him, will she go looking for him? He wants her to forget everything that hurts her and on the day when she feels saddest, he will stand to wait for her even when it’s raining outside. He just hopes that she will be peaceful when seeing his smile.

The rap lyrics of Dế Choắt is very pleasant and meaningful that touches a soft spot in the hearts of fans. The interesting part in this second version is the participation of Jason Ehh who is a foreigner but sings in Vietnamese very well. His voice is not only sweet but also extremely clear. The sentence “Sài Gòn buồn quá em ơi, em ơi. Em giờ đang ở đâu?” (Saigon is so sad, dear. Where are you now?) that was repeated several times by Jason also got compliments from netizens since it gained the sympathy of listeners.
