Sometimes I Still... / Đôi Khi Tôi Còn

Lyrics translated to English by Vuong Thanh
Sometimes I still dream of visiting you,
to see your eyes sparkling like two stars in the sky.
Some long ago night, being crazy in love with you,
I became a thief,
and stole from heaven,
to present to you the gift:,
a thousand strands of my heartstrings,
ten thousands lines of loving words.
Please open the door for me
and let us love each other.
Sometimes, I wait for you
for many nights,
waiting for the wind
to carry your fragrance into my life.
Sometimes I still gaze at the moon,
and think of your beautiful face.
By the lake, I feel your silky smooth hair
with my caressing fingers.
You’re like a precious brook
that flows through my heart.
O How I yearn for your lips.
Sometimes I still return
to stir up the old ashes,
and see your graceful form
like an illusion from thousands of years ago.
And then suddenly the dream faded.
Sometimes I still have a last wish.
Sometime my life still feels like drifting,
and sometime I still have just me and me alone.
