Hát nhạc Trịnh cho người đến từ xứ sở khác... Sing for a friend from a foreign country (Mục lục @ Tr

Hí.....hí....., các bác này dịch kiểu word to word à tình yêu? Đọc ngộ nhỉ? Em thề là ko nghe Nhạc Trịnh với english lyric đâu!

Các bạn có thể tham khảo bản dịch trên của Tịnh tại đây. Ông này hát tiếng Việt lơ lớ nhưng đệm đàn khá hay.

Bạn Tú ơi, làm ơn gửi lại cho tớ được không? Link expire mất rồi.
TY Pastorale, dịch các bài hát TCS ra tiếng Anh là việc rất khó và dễ hứng búa rìa dư luận. Người Việt có thể không cần quan tâm, nhưng có với người khác có thể có ý nghĩa lắm. VD như nhưng ca khúc Da Vàng chẳng hạn. Tất nhiên các bài hát về thân phận thì dường như không-thể chuyển tải được hết. TY công nhận không?

Lần trước mình down ở trang nào ý (giờ quên mất rồi) mấy bài do ông này hát, có kèm lời đọc dịch Tiếng Anh. 1 số bài được down đầy đủ, số còn lại chỉ có đoạn demo để quảng cáo cho CD ''Tribute to Trinh Cong Son''.

I translated the debut song "Uot Mi" by Trinh Cong Son last year but I didn''t want to post it here, as it may contain mistakes of grammar, word-building... Now I change my mind and would like to post it up. Any comments are welcome!

The rain out there, falling falling
Her pure heart, mourning mourning
O tears wet her eyelash
Don''t cry in rainy nights
Don''t sigh in lullabies
O sorrow through the shadow
Do hold it for me, tenderly
O girl caressing the rain
Do grieve for humanity
O someone please
Bring her heart some warm news
Bring her soul more passion
The cold rain, falling in the night, how tearful it is
The rain, continuing forever, through the darkness, freezing her eyelash
Still someone is sad, still the rain is falling, it gets colder
Still someone is sad, when leaves drown in the late winter
The rain out there, falling falling
Sorrow on her lips, flowing flowing
Sorrow hurt her eyelash
Sorrow went in a rainy night
Sorrow fell with a rainy night
Still it is raining tonight
How regretful her heart feels
O the blue why not stop raining
So that her pair of eyes
No more blurring from now
No more tears on her innocent eyelash

Love the rythmic flow within and between lines. I most appreciate the first five lines, amazingly graceful.
For grammar stuff, don''t worry too much, you can make it yourself, right? And why not try to trim some "is-a-the-that" to make it more concise?
for the work. for you.

Thanks so much, you don''''t know how much it means to me! Here is another song that inspired me for quite a long time, yet recently written, recently heartfelt...
For It Will Blow Away
[Để gió cuốn đi]

Living in this life
A good heart is needed
You know why my dear?
For it will blow away
Yes, it will blow away
Oh the heart flying with time
As a shadow promoting lies
Each time the sun falls
A good smile is needed
To cry with the flying leaves
Then it will flow away
Yes, it will flow away
Let us lean our lives
And look into our loves
Just look, no talking
To freeze our hearts
Yes, to freeze our hearts
In our hearts, a hurt bird is lying
Long sleeping with deep injury
One morning it will fly away
And the tone will melt in the windy sky
Let us love the coming days
Though we may feel tired of this life
We still have a life to enjoy
Though someone is missing
Yes, someone missing

[Tuổi đá buồn]

Rain keeps falling
Falling deeply
All sad fingers
You bring you bring
To the chapel
A sad Sunday
No one no one
Scarlet rose shining your hair
Oh the long street
(The) holy prayers
Keep on keep on
Passioning you
Passioning you
Clouds keep floating
Floating rambling
The strand you hold
Hasting hasting
Like a sweet flow
A sad Sunday
No one no one
Scarlet rose buried in hand
Oh the long street
(The) holy prayers
Go on go on
Sulky my girl
Sulky my girl
Rain keeps falling
Falling widely
All frosty slabs
Melt in your hands
Blue age you take
In nothingness
Nonchalantly
Rain keeps falling
Falling deeply
All rosy clouds
Cuddle your hair
Blue age like leaves
Whirl in the wind
Spin in the sky
Rain keeps falling
Falling widely
All the bare heels
You miss you miss
Oh the chapel
A sad Sunday
No one no one
Dying rose kissing your lips
Long thin fingers
(The) holy prayers
Go on go on
Lovesick my girl
Heartless my girl
