Your Returning in Autumn / Em Về Mùa Thu

Glorious autumn!

In bright sunshine,

wearing a white dress,

you’re like purity personified.

My heart’s beating wildly

with many autumns of longings.

On the road of yesteryear, you arrive.

Leaves rustle in greeting, 

flowers show lovely smiles

My soul left wide open

with beautiful dreams about you.

The color of love since those days

has not yet faded in my heart.

Autumn’s waiting.

Your return’s like a fresh breeze.

Love pervades in my heart,

making winter warm…
