CA DAO VIET NAM in ENGLISH
Translated by John Balaban
Mosaic Press / Valley E***ions
1 ) _ Hỡi cô tát nước bên đàng
Sao cô múc ánh trăng vàng đổ đi
Oh, girl , bailing waterby the road' s side
Why pour off the moon 's golden light ?
2 ) _ Bước xuống ruộng sâu mang sầu tấc dạ
Tay ôm bó mạ nước mắt hai hàng
Ai làm lỡ chuyến đò ngang
Cho sông cạn nước đôi đàng biệt ly
Stepping to the field , sadness fills my deep herat
Bundling rice sheaves, tear dart in two streaks
Who made me miss the ferrýs leaving ?
Who made this shallow creek that parts both sides ?
3 ) _ Sông dài cá lội biệt tâm
Phải duyên chồng vợ ngàn năm cũng chờ
Ruộng ai thì nấy đắp bờ
Duyên ai nấy gặp đừng chờ uổng công
In the long river the fish swim off without a trace
If destined , a man and woman can wait a thousand years
Who tends the pađy , repairs its dike
Whoever has true love will meet . But take care of time .
