IT HAS NEVER BEEN SO
SAD
Original “Chưa Bao Giờ Buồn Thế” by
CUNG TRẦM TƯỞNG
I got on the train to see you off, oh!
It had never been so sad as I felt so.
Paris City in this winter situation
for ever and ever generates separation.
To see you leave for our motherland
I kissed you good-bye, did you understand
that nothing was longer to make me craze
than an absence of a hundred days.
The yellow lights at the Lyon train station
and the falling snow were sorry mentation.
Holding your hands I wanted to cry,
but any tardy words would have run by.
We kissed each other this minute of the day,
then we were to part right away.
Cry, my love!
Keep crying, my dove!
so the grief through your tangled hair
in your tears as fallen stars that glare
soaked wet your shoulders softly fair.
Cry, my love!
Weep, my dove!
