how can I tell you
"feud is not good"
when you hear bombs days and nights
how can I tell you
"please love mankind"
when people haven't been able to rescue you from this unjust war
how can I tell you
"be a good one, please"
when
tomorrow
you may
had died
so
how can I tell you
"brush your teeth twice a day to protect your health"
when you have no water
"save electricity to share with scarce place"
when you have no electricity
"please learn hard"
when you have no school day
"please reach the future"
when you have no future
oh my god,
people can't tell you
what we can tell a normal child
dear child,
I'm sorry
cos?T today
I still live my own life in this place named peace
I myself think
if there's a war somewhere
no more peace anywhere
just cruel and savage ones support the continuing of this dirty and deceitful war
regret that they are not few
not fewer than people who against it?
what to do now?
my child
I have no right to tell you anything
I just beg you
please believe in something although it's a slender hope
to live
and fight for peace
even just by a brave smile
and I'm here
trying to restrain my shameful
go knocking hearts
which are still thumping...
to bring this little share to you
and if it could come to you
please believe, my child
mankind do not leave mankind alone

DO NOT FORGET
I don't forget pains in the past
to know how to respect today
even though this war is becoming more violent
and may darken the remaining pieces of day
I wonder if I could
sacrifice myself for peace of mankind?
I answer to myself: Sacrifice is meaningless
if mankind just live to keep silent and die
I'll die for my family and friends
and dedicate to my country
and share with people all over the world
but just with whom dare to link his hand
dear mankind, I'm just a child
have nothing except a blue of life
but I'm the same as people who know how to live
never let this earth drop down in fights

AT THE END OF A DAY
don't lie me by the illusive green
but please don't steal it away
without my girl, life fades like yellow leaves
but how do I survive without a belief?
don't come to me at this moment, girl
I'm afraid I can't cover you
in the dark is the flock of wild beasts
preparing to abuse when devil got their throne
don't ask me to implore the ones whose hearts have no color
don't ask me to beg for union from unhurt souls
if someone is coward, keep a safe distance from me
cos' if human race lost, I'll be revenged
I'm not afraid of you, Death
just afraid life will weep

TELL ME
tell me
how to make you against war
how to make your heart thump its most simple rhythm of love
how to make you believe that insensibility threats our future
how to make you remember you are still a human
tell me
how to make you agree that: if everyone says no to war, there will be a great chance for peace
and you will feel your life more meaningful
tell me
how to make you think this is not poem but simply are the truth to be shared
how to make you nod your head when I smile to you and say: let link each other's hand, my friend
to cover the earth which is slipping out of its natural movement
tell me
you still got a feeling and a heart to share
just by your action
even if it's a very small one
tell me
and all mankind
will hear
your voice

NÓI CHO TÔI
hãy nói cho tôi
phải làm thế nào thì bạn mới phản đối chiến tranh?
phải làm thế nào để trái tim bạn đập nhịp yêu thương đơn giản nhất?
phải làm thế nào để bạn tin sự thờ ơ đe dọa tương lai trái đất?
phải làm thế nào để bạn nhớ bạn vẫn là con người?
hãy nói cho tôi
phải làm thế nào để bạn đồng ý rằng:
chỉ cần mỗi người đều nói không với chiến tranh là đã có một cơ hội lớn cho hòa bình
và khi ấy, bạn sẽ thấy đời mình có nghĩa
hãy nói cho tôi
làm thế nào để bạn tin tôi
làm thế nào để bạn nghĩ đây không phải là thơ mà chỉ đơn thuần là sự thật cần chia sẻ
làm thế nào để bạn gật đầu khi tôi mỉm cười và nói: cùng nắm tay, bạn nhé
để bảo vệ trái đất đang tuột khỏi quĩ đạo tự nhiên?
hãy nói cho tôi
bạn vẫn còn rung động và còn có tấm lòng san sẻ
bằng hành động của bạn
dù chỉ rất nhỏ thôi?
hãy nói cho tôi
và cả nhân loại này
nghe tiếng bạn
