  • You probably still remember a while ago I had an entry about a Vietnamese movie Journey From the Fall or Vượt Sóng.  The entry was a translation from Vietnamese to English the summary of the movie.  On March 23, the movie is going to be shown at TheImaginAsian in New York.  Here is the link, if you are interested.  http://www.theimaginasian.com/comingsoon/index.php.  Follow the link you can find its trailer too.

    Some of you have searched the song Dung Xa Em Dem Nay of Duc Huy, the song writer, and stumble to my Xanga.  So here is a treat for you.  You can find the lyrics and its sing-able English version below.

    Đừng Xa Em Đêm Nay – Đức Huy

    Singer: Thảo My

    Đừng xa em đêm nay khi bóng trăng qua hàng cây
    Đừng xa em đêm nay đêm rất dài
    Ṿng tay em cô đơn đêm khuya vắng nghe buồn hơn
    C̣n tim em khát khao yêu thương.

    Đừng xa em đêm nay hăy nói anh sẽ ở đây
    Đừng để em một ḿnh nơi chốn này
    Hăy ôm em trong tay cho em biết anh cần em
    Và hăy nói anh vẫn yêu em.

    ĐK
    Giọt nước mắt nào đổ trong bóng tối
    Khi nằm lắng nghe tiếng đêm, lắng nghe tiếng đêm
    Nghe nhịp đập con tim ru em giấc ngủ yên.
    Đời em vắng lạnh và anh đă đến như ngọn nến
    Trong bóng đêm, nến trong bóng đêm soi vào tim em
    Nghe xao xuyến đă ngủ quên.

    Đừng xa em đêm nay khu phố quen đă ngủ say
    Đừng xa em đêm nay đêm rất dài
    Hăy yêu em đêm nay cho quên hết đi ngày mai
    Đừng xa em, đừng xa em đêm nay.

    DON’T LEAVE ME TONIGHT (translated from Vietnamese lyrics)

    Don’t leave me tonight when the moon passes the trees
    Don’t leave me tonight, night’s too long
    In my lonely arms, night is dark and forlorn
    My heart thirsts for your love
    Don’t leave me tonight, please say that you will stay
    Don’t leave me alone in this place
    Hold me in your arms so I know you need me
    And please say you still love me

    Repeat

    A tear drop falls into darkness
    When I lay, listen to darkness, listen in darkness
    Hear the beats of my heart lull me my good sleep
    My life is deserted, you come as a candle
    In darkness, candle in darkness brightens up my heart
    All bitterness fell asleep
    Don’t leave me tonight, my street fell asleep
    Don’t leave me tonight, night’s so long
    Please love me tonight, to forget tomorrow
    Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me tonight

  • the movie looks interesting.

  • I just saw a brief ad for that at the International Asian American Film Festival (in SF and San Jose) today.

    Waiting to see it …

  • I have been following the progress of Vượt Sóng since I saw something about it being made a year ago and I have its web page bookmarked. I would like very much to see but I shall have to wait until a DVD because it will not likely show at any theater within a reasonable distance of me and my work schedule is such that I cannot take three days off to go see it.
