Night Waiting for Moonlight / Đêm Đợi Trăng

A wandering night with stars filling the sky

Waiting and waiting for a voice, gentle like a lullaby

Feeling sad, knowing that the wind had forgotten...

Through the night, sitting by the terrace, awaiting moonlight…

The autumn road not yet turned yellow

The forest leaves still hang on the trees

But my dream always so faraway

It's at the end of the Milky Way

Life's full of people going back and forth

Some seem to be very near but really a world away

Rain returns to make August shivers with wet and cold

To make thin shoulders lean on an empty moonlit void

Seems like I’m feeling a little wistful 

What triggers our meeting each other in this vast universe.

I know that your place's very far away,

But where is it so I can visit you one day.
