Lyrics

English: Now, my love, please listen / I am sad, in my night / The old town is the first one to cover the sun / And right now is not my child / The life of the child is depressed / Where is tomorrow, we still have / This happy meeting has blown away / I have lost my heart / I am sorry / I am familiar with the planet / I am familiar with my father / The wine is flying now so good / She is busy. throng buy most __________ Vietnamese: Nay em yeu xin hay lang nghe / Tieng buon roi, trong dem toi / Pho xa tang thuong dau don che mat troi / Va ngay yen vui khong con throng toi / Giong song xua con nuoc van xuoi / Mai ve dau, rong reu co / Hoi canh chm vui nay da bay lac loai / Tim bay noi dau keu loi bi ai / Nhung buoc chan quen da quen con duong tinh / Chieu vang ve nghe ba hat hiu / chiec la ua bay von nay thiet tha / co dang em throng mua nhat nhoa
