Oh Night, Bring
back the Sun!
When the battles’ field fire was flared up
It shook
the earth and awaken the night
When all of sorrows and darkness suddenly entwined
the dark magic played
its tricks
Shone in red,
blue, and silvery flash
like the
shinning eyes of thousand black cats
with shrieking voice, calling for lost loved ones
As shadows of the souls wandered in the dark
Lost, for
found no place to rest!
when the sun felt into the cold slumber of darkness
Shrivering embraced our hearts
and tighten our breaths!
We heard the murmurs of lovers’ sadness
of fear and of desperation
of fear for the separation!
Night, I heard the crying
my country! It was
sobbing in the dark
but what I prayed for
in the burning mask
of a faltered life
where the game of peace and war played to last
yet, in my arm, a little angel curved gently and fallen into
his sleep!
Oh Night, won’t you go away
Darkness, fallen sky, and burning sky,
be fading away! Fade away….
Night! bring back the
Light
To the EARTH and for my Child
and to Vietnam, my beloved country
Bring back her LIGHT!
