Like Two Water Drops... Two Water Streams / Như Hai Giọt Nước... Hai Dòng Nước

Looks  like two drops of water

One drop has the glass overflowed

The other still contains a wish

Under her eyebrows, it lies beneath

Looks  like two streams of water

Flowing to the same river’s harbor

In a previous life, we had promised to again meet

Still waiting for each other while our lives adrift

Looks like two drops of water

So beautiful in their sparkles

Hope some tomorrow morning,

with the angels’s blessings,

we’ll become a couple.

Looks like two streams of water

Who sits there making metaphors

Why hurry to walk away

While on the shore of loneliness.

Looks like two drops of water

Two drops, round like the full moon

Let’s just move onward

Flowing water will wear out rocks.

Looks like two drops of water

Floating adrift in winter

Whose soul’s like wet grass

Will it warm the other’s heart?
