Tr?n Ng?c C?
Autumn Sounds
Dont you hear the autumn
sobbing under a dim moon?
Dont you hear the stirrings
by the image of a faraway warrior
in the heart of his lonely wife?
Dont you hear the autumn forest
rustling with its autumn foliage
as a bewildered golden deer
steps on golden dry leaves?
Translated from the Vietnamese (following a semantic interpretation by the linguist Hong D?ng, HCMC University):
Ti?ng thu
Em khng nghe ma thu

Em khng nghe r?o r?c
Hnh ?nh k? chinh phu
Trong lng ng??i c ph??
Em khng nghe r?ng thu
