hai cai bong

Bong nho cua em, bong lon toi
Tay nam trong tay chang the roi
Ca hai tha bo tren dong co
Co le em vo tuong bong ai

Neu toi di cham, va lang thinh
Bong toi om ca bong nguoi tinh
Duong nhu em thich la nhu the.
Va khi toi buoc chech sang ben

Bong em tach khoi bong hinh toi,
Mot ga khong lo rat le loi
Chan cang leu ngheu thanh vo dung
Buoc thap buoc cao chan mo doi

Em giup cho toi bot kho khan
Lua noi chon cho dat ban chan
Ky niem yeu thuong luon tham kin
Roi cung qua mau, cung lui tan

Nhung bong nguoi sau se den ben
Roi mai con lai moi bong em
Nhung truoc phut giay ly biet ay
Toi xoai tay minh huong dan em

Lam bong hinh em chap canh bay
Nhe nhang khe dau o canh cay
De roi tu do em nhin bong
Se nho chim troi, hoac nho toi.

TWO SHADOWS
Maurice Manning (1966 – )

The little one belongs to her
and the taller one is mine, though I doubt
she knows the shadows walking hand
in hand ahead of us in the field
are ours. If I walk behind her mine,
without a word, overshadows
all of hers, a magic I think she likes.
And when I walk at her side again,
the two of us return, a giant
and his long-legged little helper,
who’s new enough to walking still
she manages a wobble or swings
a foot in picking the place to put it.
None of this beautiful, secret love
will last. Other shadows will come
along, and she’ll see her own one day
apart from mine. But before those fates
arrive, I’m going to stretch my arms,
and tipping and twirling, I’ll show her how
to turn her shadow into a bird
and rest it softly in the tree,
and afterward, when she sees a shadow,
perhaps she’ll think of birds or me
