Khúc say hồn – Ánh nguyệt tàn The soul’s drunken verse – The waning moonlight

The soul’s drunken verse – The waning moonlight

Nights spent drunken with the moon,
The soul adrift in dreams unseen,
Clouds fill the chest, a restless tune,
Love’s fleeting shadows intervene.

The wind wraps up an old despair,
Clings tight to bitter cups of wine,
I thought the moon was still there,
But love dissolved in mist, divine.

The moonlight breaks a wandering soul,
Soft footsteps trace a fleeting beat,
The one I’ve loved in secret whole,
Still lingers in their final heat.

Love is thin, like autumn leaves,
Quivering branches weak and bare,
The twilight flows, my eyes bereave,
I stand in silence, life’s affair.

Lost in drunken moonlit nights,
Echoes of love forever stray,9
The heart, like moonlight in delight,
Fades to naught, in time’s decay.
