Will You Go Back to Ha Long…

by Tran Nhuan Minh

Will you go back to Ha Long with me, to see that the rocks
also love each other, when amidst sea and Heaven
appears the Male and Female kissing rocks
Trees and grass fall into one another,
crafty under the late moon
One minute has gone by, no one can find it again
Mountains have cuddled clouds,
the wind cannot separate them

I’m sending back to you a little sadness of the Fall,
when the drop of dew falls on the eucalyptus
You’ve met me even though I was mixed in the blue sky
Like Ha Long Bay, the sunny sea has the beauty
of the sun, while the rain on the mountains
has the beauty of the rain
You’re more beautiful than in the old days, and also
younger than before…

I’m always beside you. How can you know
That when your lips were vaguely and suddenly pouting
And gracefully, you feel warmth on your palm
And that when the wind doesn’t blow in, the lap
of your dress flies…
