HELLO VIETNAM

HELLO VIETNAM

Tell me all about this name, that is difficult to say.
It was given me the day I was born.

Want to know about the stories of the empire of old.
My eyes say more of me than what you dare to say.

All I know of you is all the sights of war.
A film by Coppola, the helicopter's roar.

One day I'll touch your soil.
One day I'll finally know my soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.

Tell me all about my colour, my hair and my little feet
That have carried me every mile of the way.

Want to see your house, your streets. Show me all I do not know.
Wooden sampans, floating markets, light of gold.

All I know of you is the sights of war.
A film by Coppola, the helicopter's roar.

One day I'll touch your soil.
One day I'll finally know my soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.

And Buddha's made of stone watch over me
My dreams they lead me through the fields of rice
In prayer, in the light...I see my kin
I touch my tree, my roots,my begin

One day I'll touch your soil.
One day I'll finally know my soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.




BONJOUR VIETNAM - Quỳnh Anh Phạm
Music & Lyrics: Marc Lavoine

Raconte moi ce nom étrange et difficile à prononcer
Que je porte depuis que je suis née.
Raconte moi le vieil empire et le trait de mes yeux bridés,
Qui disent mieux que moi ce que tu n’oses dire.
Je ne sais de toi que des images de la guerre,
Un film de Coppola, [et] des hélicoptères en colère ...

Un jour, j’irai là bas, un jour dire bonjour à ton âme.
Un jour, j’irai là bas [pour] te dire bonjour, Vietnam.

Raconte moi ma couleur, mes cheveux et mes petits pieds,
Qui me portent depuis que je suis née.
Raconte moi ta maison, ta rue, racontes moi cet inconnu,
Les marchés flottants et les sampans de bois.
Je ne connais de mon pays que des photos de la guerre,
Un film de Coppola, [et] des hélicoptères en colère ...

Un jour, j’irai là bas, un jour dire bonjour à mon âme.
Un jour, j’firai là bas [pour] te dire bonjour, Vietnam.

Les temples et les Boudhas de pierre pour mes pères,
Les femmes courbées dans les rizières pour mes mères,
Dans la prière, dans la lumière, revoir mes frères,
Toucher mon âme, mes racines, ma terre...

Un jour, j’irai là bas, un jour dire bonjour à mon âme.
Un jour, j’irai là bas [pour] te dire bonjour, Vietnam (2 fois).

One day I'll walk your soil
One day I'll finally know my soul
One day I'll come to you
To say hello...Vietnam
To say hello...Vietnam
To say xin chào... Vietnam

TÌNH CA DU MỤC

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

Once upon a time, there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two.
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
Think of all the great things we would do?

Chorus:
Those were the days, my friend!
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
For we were young and sure to have our way!
Di di di di...

Then, the busy years went rushing by us.
We lost our starry notions on the way.
If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
We'd smile at one another and we'd say,

Those were the days, my friend!
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di…

Just tonight, I stood before the tavern.
Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection.
Was that lonely woman really me?

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di...

Through the door, there came familiar laughter.
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend, we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same.

Those were the days, my friend!
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di...


LES TEMPS DES FLEURS

Dans une taverne du vieux Londres
Où se retrouvaient des étrangers
Nos voix criblées de joie montaient de l'ombre
Et nous écoutions nos cœurs chanter
C'était le temps des fleurs
On ignorait la peur
Les lendemains avaient un goût de miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
La, la, la...


Et puis sont venus les jours de brume
Avec des bruits étranges et des pleurs
Combien j'ai passé de nuits sans lune
A chercher la taverne dans mon cœur
Tout comme au temps des fleurs
Où l'on vivait sans peur
Où chaque jour avait un goût de miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
La, la, la ......


Et ce soir je suis devant la porte
De la taverne où tu ne viendras plus
Et la chanson que la nuit m'apporte
Mon cœur déjà ne la connaît plus
C'était le temps des fleurs
On ignorait la peur
Les lendemains avait un goût de miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
La la la...



ДОРОГОЙ ДЛИННОЮ

Ехали на тройке с бубенцами,
А вдали мелькали огоньки...
Эх, когда бы мне теперь за вами,
Душу бы развеять от тоски!

Припев:
Дорогой длинною,
Погодой лунною,
Да с песней той,
Что вдаль летит звеня,
И с той старинною,
Да с семиструнною,
Что по ночам
Так мучила меня.
Да, выходит, пели мы задаром,
Понапрасну ночь за ночью жгли.
Если мы покончили со старым,
Так и ночи эти отошли!

Припев:
В даль родную новыми путями
Нам отныне ехать суждено!
Ехали на тройке с бубенцами,
Да теперь проехали давно!

Này em cô gái dễ thương
Có phải em đang mỉm cười (với anh)
Nên anh phải lòng em từ lúc ấy
Sẽ tặng em bất cứ thứ gì em muốn"

"Đừng tặng em những món quà
Và cả những lời mật ngọt
Vì chắc rằng em sẽ không ngã quỵ bởi tình yêu
Anh ơi trước hết - yêu bằng tấm lòng !"

"Này hỡi cô em yêu kiều
Anh thích em thật sự rồi
Nếu biết rằng anh đã ba vợ
Em có bằng lòng làm người thứ tư?"

"Anh trai trẻ
Em cũng đã 5 người chồng
Và tất cả em đều yêu quý
Nếu anh muốn, hãy là người thứ sáu nha anh!




TEMPTATION

Temptation in my heart
I'm burning, I fall apart
When the night falls
My heart calls
For another devotion

Can you be my only one
When the night falls

For the touch of your hands

CHIỀU MATXCƠVA

ПОДМОСКОВНЫЕ ВЕЧЕРА

Не слышны в саду даже шорохи,
Всё здесь замерло до утра.
Если б знали вы, как мне дороги
Подмосковные вечера,
Если б знали вы, как мне дороги
Подмосковные вечера.

Речка движется и не движется,
Вся из лунного серебра.
Песня слышится и не слышится
В эти тихие вечера,
Песня слышится и не слышится
В эти тихие вечера.

Что ж ты милая смотришь искоса,
Низко голову наклоня?
Трудно высказать и не высказать
Всё, что на сердце у меня,
Трудно высказать и не высказать
Всё, что на сердце у меня.

А рассвет уже всё заметнее,
Так, пожалуйста, будь добра,
Не забудь и ты эти летние
Подмосковные вечера,
Не забудь и ты эти летние
Подмосковные вечера



CHIỀU MÁTXCƠVA

Chiều thanh vắng là đây âm thầm gió rì rào
Rừng cây chim muông lắng suốt canh thâu
Hỡi em thấu chăng tình trong lòng bao trìu mến
Mátxcơva trong chiều vắng thanh bình.

Dòng sông lướt nhẹ trôi xuôi về phía chân trời
Màn đêm lung linh sáng ánh trăng soi
Vời xa thoáng đưa về bao lời ca nồng thắm
Chứa chan vui, trong chiều vắng yêu đời.

Kìa em ngước nhìn ai đôi màu mắt nâu huyền
Dường như bao lưu luyến mối tơ duyên
Sao không nói nên lời, trong lòng anh nàng hỡi?
Muốn chia em chung ngàn nỗi tâm tình





MOSCOW NIGHTS

Stillness in the grove, not a rustling sound,
Softly shines the moon clear and bright.
Dear, if you could know how I treasure so
This most beautiful Moscow night.
Lazily the brook like a silvery stream
Ripples in the light of the moon.
And a song afar fades as in a dream
In this night that will end too soon.
Yes, a song afar fades as in a dream
In this night that will end too soon.
Dearest, why so sad, why the downcast eyes?
And your lovely head bent so low...
Oh, I mustn't speak, through I'd love to say
That you've stolen my heart away...
Promise me, my love, as the dawn appears,
And the darkness turns into light
That you'll cherish dear, through the passing years,
This most beautiful Moscow night.
Say you'll cherish dear, through the passing years,
This most beautiful Moscow night.
