lyrics

Hoa thương nhớ ai,
Hoa rơi xuống đất.

Khăn thương nhớ ai,
Khăn vắt lên vai

Đèn thương nhớ ai,
Mà đèn không tắt.

Mắt thương nhớ ai,
Mắt mở thâu đêm



Does the flower long and love for someone?
It has fallen to the ground

Does the scarf long and love for someone?
It is flung over the shoulder

Does the lamp love and long for someone?
It never goes out

Do the eyes love and long for someone?
They are open all night

(Translation by Keith Bosley)
