    there are many things (I) want to talk but can't talk, there are many times (I) want to cry but can't cry... just feel wretched or happy but can't talk out...

    "hay góc kín tâm tư đã là một khoảng cách vô hình mà ta đã phải như thế "
    sorry this is too vietnamese, I can't translate word-by-word, I guess the meaning is she have to keep everything into her mind, it's her essence

    Thank you for your help again! I visited your blog and i think it's very easy for foreigners like us to understand and learn, I learn a few words already. Good job.

    I still hope someone can help me to translate the lower sentence.. Too vietnamese meaning it's too slang in the vietnam language?

    umm, I don't even understand it clearly.. it's like a poem, very abstract :s
    ok, I'll translate it to English then either you know or you don't know due to you

    "hay góc kín tâm tư đã là một khoảng cách vô hình mà ta đã phải như thế "
    "or the corner (hidden area) in the feeling was as an invisible distance which I have to be like that"

    My translation:
    There are things [one] wants to say, but could not say, there are times [one] wants to cry but could not cry: only too much pain or happiness [that] couldn't be uttered. Or [was] the depth of [one's] heart already a void that made one became like that.

    Clues:
    The quote seems to be a narrative part of a novel, or a monologue (the appearance of a neutral "ta", which means "one", or "we", or "I" depending on the context. However, if it was part of a conversation, the word "ta" may not be used, but "tôi" or other pronoun should be use. I used "one" in that context.

    The above quote sounds quite Existentialist à-la Jean-Paul Sartre to me
