Hòn Đá Cô Đơn

Có hòn đá cô đơn xa xa.
Đứng ở đó cớ sao một mình.
Phải chăng đá cũng thất tình?
Hoà niềm đau với ta.

There is a lonely rock in distance.
Why does the rock stand over there alone?
Is rock also lovesick?
Sharing with me the sadness.

Có chị gió bay ngang qua.
Khẽ nhẹ vuốt mát tâm hồn mình
Này cậu trai thất tình!
"Buồn làm chi hỡi em?"

There is wind sister whiff over.
Petting soft to cool my soul.
"My poor lovesick boy,
Why are you sad for?"

Có giọt nước rơi trên mi,
Khẽ nhẹ thấm xót xa trong lòng.
Hình như nước cũng biết rằng:
"Nàng đã xa cách ta ..."

There is a drop of water flow out the eyelid.
Soaking lightly to sting my heart.
It seems like drop of water know:
"She has left me already.."

Ôi giọt nước đau thương kia ơi !!!
Chớ vội khóc khiến ta thêm buồn,
Vì ta cũng đã biết rằng:
"Nàng đã xa cách ta...."


A drop of suffered water .
Don't cry to make me sad anymore.
Because I also know that
She has left me already.

{ II }

Khi người lỡ quay lưng ra đi.
Đẫu còn chút vấn vương trong lòng.
Thì người yêu ơi ta biết rằng:
"Nàng đã xa cách ta / Nàng sẽ quên mất ta ......"

When she turns around and walks
With a little preoccupation, though.
So well, I know that
She will fotget me completely.

Ta ôm một chút đau thương thôi.
Dẫu thầm kín mãi trong tâm hồn
Vì người yêu ơi ta biết rằng:
"Nàng sẽ quên mất ta ... "

I just hold a bit of suffering.
Hide it so deep in my mind.
Because I know that, my lover:
She will forget me completely.

Hoà niềm đau với ta.

I think use "there" instead of "over there"
Broken heart = thất tình

Có chị gió bay ngang qua.
Khẽ nhẹ vuốt mát tâm hồn mình
Này cậu trai thất tình!
"Buồn làm chi hỡi em?"

There is wind sister whiff over.
Peting soft to cool my soul.
"My poor lovesick boy,
Why are you sad for?"
Don't be sad my boy/young brother

Có giọt nước rơi trên mi,
Khẽ nhẹ thấm xót xa trong lòng.
Hình như nước cũng biết rằng:
"Nàng đã xa cách ta ..."

There is a drop of water flow out the eyelid.
Soaking lightly to sting my heart.
It seems like drop of water know:
"She has left me already.."
a tear drop/drop of water on the eyelid

Ôi giọt nước đau thương kia ơi !!!
Chớ vội khóc khiến ta thêm buồn,
Vì ta cũng đã biết rằng:
"Nàng đã xa cách ta...."


A drop of suffered water .
Don't cry to make me sad anymore.
Because I also know that
She has left me already.

Oh ! pity of that sufferingly drop/tear.
Do not hastily come to order me more sadness
Cause, I have already knew that:
"My sweetheart had gone far"

Geezzzz khó quá.....

Hey very good DT. I have never tried to translated any poetry, cause my Eng so limited.
There are few things here I like learn with you, hopefuly somebody here will give us some good help!

The "over there": Theo tớ được dùng khi cái gì đó xác định rõ vị trí, TD: một người hỏi "which one is your drawing?" người kia trả lời "The one over there by the lady in red is watching it." (oopss .... I don't have much time to talk in here,.. and .. it's just my opnion anyway ) .... I gotta work

Thanks! Bác Mạnh.
The problem here is there is no space between "some" and "body" unlike I have wrote. It must be what Hdungbeat may try to tell me ... And I still want to play a trick back to her (or him ?)
Thank you all very much

I just want to make sure you understand exactly what he meant.

Có hòn đá cô đơn xa xa.

Hoà niềm đau với ta.

There is a lonely rock in distance.
Why does the rock stand over there alone?
Is (1) rock also lovesick?
Sharing with me the sadness.

(1) Mạo từ missing?

Có chị gió bay ngang qua.
Khẽ nhẹ vuốt mát tâm hồn mình
Này cậu trai thất tình!
"Buồn làm chi hỡi em?"

There is (2) wind sister (3) whiff over.
(4) Peting soft to cool my soul.
"My poor lovesick boy,
Why are you sad for?"

(2) Maọ từ missing?
(3) Chủ từ của whiff? Cũng là intransitive verb (!):
. whiffed, whiff·ing, whiffs
v. intr.
To be carried in brief gusts; waft: puffs of smoke whiffing from the chimney.
(4) Ý muốn nói: Patting softly???

I think, corrections needed.

Cordially,

Cordially,

(1)(2): I got it.
(3) There is the wind sister whiffing over (Is it right?)
(4) Yes. I was almost using "rub" but I thought it was not good. Then I change it into "pet", like the people peting their pets.

If you choose to use verb to pet ====> petting.
