Oh Saigon, I have lost you in my life,

Sàigòn oi, tôi dã m?t ngu?i trong cu?c d?i

Oh Saigon, those beautiful times are gone forever. Sàigòn oi, tôi dã h?t th?i gian tuy?t v?i
All I have left now are memories, Gi? còn dây, nh?ng k? ni?m s?ng trong tôi
smiles broken on my lips, Nh?ng n? cu?i nát trên môi
and oh so bitter tears. Nh?ng gi?t l? ôi s?u d?ng.
Oh Saigon, the sun still shines on the road, Sàigòn oi, n?ng v?n có còn vuong trên du?ng
That old road, where heavy rains flooded the way home. Ðuòng ngày xua, mua có uót ng?p l?i ngu?i v?
Then autumn comes, the leaves blanket the park once more. R?i mùa thu, lá còn d? xu?ng công viên
A thin shadow, hair cascading down slanted shoulders, Bóng g?y tóc xóa vai nghiêng
crying in loneliness for love. Cô don khóc thuong cho tình duyên
Like a stray animal, that has lost its way, Tôi gi? nhu con thú hoang l?c dàn
With each day that passes, with each minute, T?ng ngày qua, t?ng phút s?ng quên th?i gian
I live forgetting the passage of time. Ki?p tha huong, l?m dau thuong, l?m chua cay
Exiled from my homeland, so much pain, so much despair, Tôi g?i tên ai mãi thôi.
Oh Saigon, my return I swear to you. Sàigòn oi, tôi xin h?a r?ng tôi tr? v?
Oh my love, I will keep that faithful promise. Ngu?i tình oi, tôi xin gi? tr?n mãi l?i th?
Though time is fleeting, like a dream, Dù th?i gian, có là m?t thoáng dam mê
and as your evening stars go on lighting up the sky above, Ph? phu?ng vàng ánh sao dêm
I will never forget you. Nhung tôi s? không bao gi? quên.
