Lê Vĩnh Tài | you loath the shallow

but you have a fondness for Eden

By Lê Vĩnh Tài, translation by Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

 

you loath the shallow

it’s full of mud

 

but you have a fondness for Eden

bạn ghét vũng cạn 

nó đầy bùn

 

nhưng bạn lại yêu khu vườn

By Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

There's magic in translating a body of work from one language to another.
