Sending You...

Vuong Thanh’s translation of ‘Gửi Cho Em” By Quỳnh Hương

I send you a bit of blue sky, white clouds,

the sound of birds singing in the early dawn,

sweet fruits wafting their scent and fragrant flowers,

and aroma of wild herbs carried by the wind.

I ask the wind to send you a fresh breeze

to dispel the heat of the summer sun.

And a poetic melody to lull you as the evening wanes.

And in your dream, a beautiful moonlit halo. 

My love, I share with you Love’s profound depths.

Very gentle and tranquil like a murmuring stream.

Throughout the four seasons, it ceaselessly flows.

We’ll watch clouds drifting in the far horizon together. 

We’ll  listen to the birds singing in the woods.

Let go of those worries that keep lingering throughout the years...

With a touch of passion, feeling warm by your side, 

Life is light... oh, my darling... life shall be light..."
