I AM SO LUCKY

Original “Tôi May Mắn” by LƯU NGUYỄN ĐẠT

I am so fortunate in my life to have you
With your rosy lips fresh as morning dew
Fragrant as just woken wild grass' scent
To be hand in hand not stray in discontent.

I am so lucky to have you in desolation
Desiderative right on our date in vibration
Sun not declined but love just created
You have not left, I already have awaited.

I am so providential to have you in bane
While half of my soul is paralyzed in pain
To lift this late even wing you are a zephyr
To share each of life's vicissitudes together.

I am so happy to have you at this right time
My strong will at the end relaxes in chime
Dawn directs us through the dew to beam
You and I lead one another into our dream.

Translation by THANH-THANH
