away from home

The sun is brighter in here.
The moon is the same, it's not full moon yet but it's already bright.
Day after day, the same golden color of sunshine
Is that why the cold does not come in?

Anyone far from home understands the pain of missing home.
The purple sunset here is different too.
The afternoon comes slowly, looking at the distant horizon
Cloudless purple is also softer

No time to sulk
So far away, which meeting place would anyone choose?
The tide goes down-the tide rises
Day after day the date just keeps getting further away

Stay in here and watch the birds fly by.
I know it's the northeast monsoon outside
There are many nights when the moon is full.
I miss the cold wind and drizzle in my hometown.

Tet is coming, I miss you even more
Banh chung pot replaced with banh tet pot
No winter where to find cold?
To compete in wearing warm clothes to show off their colors

In two distant lands, we miss each other.
I will write you many strange things.
The flock of birds chirping in the evening
The bittern calls for ebb and flow every night.
