By Lê Vĩnh Tài, translation by Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
love, it turns you
endlessly blue
and you’ll regret it(this is true)
when madame up and left, and you
are, still, with not a clue!
Okay I put spin on Lê Vĩnh Tài ‘s short verse 😁
tình yêu
nó khiến bạn trở nên xanh biếc
để cho bạn tiếc
lúc nàng bỏ đi…
