Trung Thu Trở Lại (Khi Cả Thế Giới Nhìn Lên Trời)

==Lyrics==
Vietnamese 	English
Lá thu rơi trong cơn gió chiều 	The autumn leaves fall in the vesper winds
Mùi hương đồng quê bát ngát 	The endless scent of the countryside
Trăng sáng ngời trên cao ấy thì 	When the moon shines brightly up high, then
Chắc Trung Thu nay đã về 	Mid-autumn Festival must've been here
Cớ sao lòng nay mang mác buồn 	Yet why is my heart filled with sorrow
Phải chăng là ta chẳng muốn 	Might it be, that I don't want to...
Chẳng kiếm tìm, cũng chẳng nhớ nhung 	No expectations, no nostalgia
Trung Thu chán thế là cùng 	So boring, o Mid-autumn Festival.
 	
Gió lay mơn man buồn rượi 	The winds, wafted in melancholy
Lướt đi trên muôn trùng người 	Drifts along the people
Còn được mấy ai đang cười tươi 	How many of them left, are still smiling?
Ánh trăng trên cao vời vợi 	While the moon is way up high
Lung linh chiếu tỏa khắp nơi 	Filling everywhere with its glimmer
Đừng để cho nụ cười tan biến đi! 	Don't let the smiles fade away!
 	
Đèn lồng, cô tiên, bánh, mứt 	The lanterns, the fairies, the cakes, the candied fruits
Vang tiếng trống 	The echoing drums
Ta ngắm đêm trăng rằm 	I gaze upon the full moon night
Trẻ nhỏ vui chơi háo hức 	The kids frolicking
Đêm ấm cúng 	The cozy night
Kìa chú lân lại thăm! 	Oh look, the Lion Dancer is dropping by!
Người trẻ giao duyên đối ẩm 	The young lovers drinking tea together
Tình tứ lắm 	So lovingly...
Tiền bối tĩnh tâm đàm đạo 	The older ones calmly exchanging words
Trà rượu thơm nhấm nháp 	Sipping on the fragrant tea and wine
Đêm ấm áp 	The warm night
Hạnh phúc đêm trăng rằm 	Oh the happiness of the full moon night.
 	
Đèn điện thay ánh trăng từ lâu 	Electrical lights have long replaced the moonlight
Liệu ai thấy đâu trăng sầu 	Who even bat an eye to the sorrowful moon?
Còn yên đó chẳng lên tiếng đủ cho chúng ta giật mình	Still there, wordless as ever. enough to shock us This is a reference to the poem "Ánh trăng" (Moonlight) by the Vietnamese poet Nguyễn Duy. It's about a person who grew up with the moon, and after the war they came to live in the city and gets used to the bright electric lights, completely ignoring the moon. Suddenly one night, the lights went off, they opened the windows and saw the moon, and it brought back the memories of the old days. The final words says that the moonlight is wordless, enough to shock them, which is what this line is referencing in the song.You can read the original Vietnamese version of the poem here.
Trời đêm bao ánh sao lặng thinh 	The night sky filled with silent stars
Nào ta hãy để kỉ niệm sống lại lần nữa đi 	So come on, let's bring back the good old days once more,
Nhé!! 	Shall we?
 	
Điện thoại, wifi, máy tính 	Phones, WiFi, computers
Ta gác hết! 	Let's put them all aside!
Theo trống vang lên từng nhịp từng nhịp 	Follow the beating of the drums
Tùng dinh dinh 	Thump, ding-a-ling This is onomatopoeia for drums and chimes, which is often associated with lion dancers on Mid-autumn festival in Vietnam. I translated it as "thump, ding-a-ling" since it's what these sounds are called in English.This onomatopoeia is often put into many songs about Mid-autumn festival in Vietnam as well, one of which is called "Chiếc đèn ông sao" (The Star-shaped Lantern), you can listen to a recording of the song here.
Tùng dinh dinh 	Thump, ding-a-ling
Ngồi với nhau thưởng trăng 	Let's sit together and enjoy the moon
Đổ đầy con tim trống vắng 	Fill up our empty hearts
Gieo ánh nắng 	And plant a ray of sunshine
Nồng ấm nhưng mang đậm tình người 	Warm, yet filled with humanity
Trung Thu đã đến 	Mid-autumn is here
Đem quý mến 	Bringing love
Trao đến cho muôn người 	To one and all.
