LOVE ME

Original “Yêu Em” by BÍCH XUÂN

Love me like the sea waves amuse the soft sand
Warm rosy sunbeams on it lovingly pat and land
So my lips taste forever the lasting sweet stream
While your tight embrace draws me to dream

Do rub, chafe me for my body to grow hot well
My two shoulders shake, my two breasts swell
Rock my soul to ocean vast, to mountain high
The taste of skin and flesh my tongue doped by

Let us hang upon each other, intertwine warmly
Throughout this night so unforgettably stormy
Dedicate to each other our youth’s love nectar
So that we will never deal with regret’s specter

Like bees and butterflies to suck flowers’ pistil
Disregarding sky and earth even human life distal
Out in the moonlight twinkling dew drops salute
The trunk brews sap so the branches bloom fruit

All living beings do bang, attached in full feather
As the law of nature, couples do stick together
Do not leave me alone throughout the cold night
The young woman will sulk, resent in a sad plight

Translation by THANH-THANH
