ben mien thuy duong (by the sea)

BY THE SEA
by Sara Teasdale

Beside an ebbing northern sea
While stars awaken one by one,
We walk together, I and he.

He woos me with an easy grace
That proves him only half sincere;
A light smile flickers on his face.

To him love-making is an art,
And as a flutist plays a flute,
So does he play upon his heart

A music varied to his whim.
He has no use for love of mine,
He would not have me answer him.

To hide my eyes within the night
I watch the changeful lighthouse gleam
Alternately with red and white.

My laughter smites upon my ears,
So one who cries and wakes from sleep
Knows not it is himself he hears.

What if my voice should let him know
The mocking words were all a sham,
And lips that laugh could tremble so?

What if I lost the power to lie,
And he should only hear his name
In one low, broken cry?

BEN MIEN THUY DUONG

Ke ben bien song nhap nho
Nhung vi sao da lo mo hien ra
Em rao buoc canh chang ta

Chang dang tan tinh nhung ma kem duyen
Chung to thieu ton trong em
Thoang qua khuon mat kem them net cuoi

Lam tinh la nghe thuat thoi
Nhu tay thoi sao dang choi sao ma
Chang dua voi tim chang ta

Cung nhu dieu nhac luc cao luc tram
Chang khong co du thanh tam
Nen chang cung chang an can nghe em

Giau doi mat trong anh den
Em nhin vao ngon hai dang doi mau
Luc do, luc trang thay nhau

Tieng em cuoi lai rot vao tai em
Tua ho ac mong trong dem
Nhung chang chang biet chang them hoi han

Gia nhu chang hieu cho rang
Nhung loi gieu cot vo cung do hoi
Va nu cuoi run tren moi?

Gia nhu em da noi loi that ra
Va chang nghe ten chang ta
Trong loi tham thi xot xa, nghen ngao?
