Resonance by Duong Tuan Kiet
Gái Xuân
Spring Girl
- Nhạc Sĩ : Từ Vũ
- Phổ thơ / lời: Nguyễn Bính
Translated by Anonymouswish
Em như cô gái hăy c̣n Xuân
Trong trắng thân chưa lấm bụi trần
Xuân đến hoa mơ, hoa mận nở
Gái Xuân giũ lụa trên sông Vân
Xuân đi, Xuân đến, hăy c̣n Xuân
Cô gái trông Xuân đến bao lần
Xuân đến hoa mơ, hoa mận nở
Gái Xuân giũ lụa trên sông Vân
Ḷng Xuân lơ đăng, má Xuân hồng
Cô gái Xuân mơ chuyện vợ chồng
Đôi tám Xuân đi trên mái tóc
Đêm Xuân cô ngủ có buồn không?
Em như cô gái hăy c̣n Xuân
Trong trắng thân chưa lấm bụi trần
Xuân đến hoa mơ, hoa mận nở
Gái Xuân giũ lụa trên sông Vân
You are like a girl in her prime time
Pure, she is not yet touched by dust of life
Spring comes, plum flowers blossom
Spring girl washes silk on Vân river
Spring comes, spring goes, it is still spring
The maiden watches spring to come again and again
Spring comes, plum flowers blossom
Spring girl washes silk on Vân river
Spring soul absent minded, spring cheek rosy
Spring girl dreams of marriage
Sixteen springs pass on her hair
Spring night is she sad when she goes to bed?
You are like a girl in her prime time
Pure, she is not yet touched by dust of life
Spring comes, plum flowers blossom
Spring girl washes silk on Vân river
