Lyrics

Nho Ai (Who Do You Miss)

The translation below, and other songs on this website, were intended to assist the English speaking audience who may be interested in knowing the general meaning of the lyrics. It was challenging for me, however, because it is very difficult to convey the full meaning of the lyrics through translation because besides understanding the words, one has to understand the culture to fully appreciate it, and in some cases, to make sense of it. Nevertheless, no matter in which language we are communicating, I hope that the audience will enjoy listening to these songs, and share my feeling that in music and arts, there are no boundaries between us.
Duke Nguyen Browning (July 2006)

Autumn sky, missing you, leaves aren?t falling
Autumn sky, missing you, leaves are still green
Here I am, missing you this sleepless night
Here I am, singing the Autumn lullabies.

Winter sky, missing you, the birds aren?t back home
Still flying all ways in the lonely skies
Here I am, wandering in this wintry night
Waiting for the Spring, ?missing you? may fade away.

The first love, often brings along nostalgia
The first love, inadvertently takes away one?s youth
Sitting here, waiting for whom, at the flowerless garden?
Sitting here, waiting for whom, dreaming of tomorrow?

Strings Solo

It?s Springtime, missing you, lilies are bloomless
Even in Spring the daffodils also feel lonely
And the roses miss you, their petals unfold
Here I am, missing you since we are apart.

Summer comes, in our schoolyard flowers blossom
And Summer inadvertently takes our youth away
The past thousand days gave us abundant memories
A thousand days I hesitated to say ?I love you?.
