A Soul in Love's Torment / Nửa Hồn Thương Đau

Trình bày: Elvis Phương

Close my eyes to find the scents of yesteryears,

to return to the verse-inspiring road of memories,

to meet the girl that I adore.

But it is just a dream!

I hear Love’s dying inside me.

My heart's filled with regrets and yearnings

till the end of my days...

Close my eyes.

Suddenly my heart filled with unceasing anguish.

Alas! Why are we forever a world away from each other.

Or is it that we have a rendezvous in some next life?

Where are you, My Love? 

Where are we, My Love?

Is it the gloomy rain that fills your eyes with sorrow?

Close my eyes.  Only to see a dark gray horizon.

Only to find that... my  heart’s full of memories...

And the singing... And the tears...

Sometimes I want to believe..., just want to believe

Alas for those, alas for those

who cries in loneliness...
