Lullaby for mom

sleep tight, will you, I am singing for u...
from a far far away land, I am singing the lullaby of my heart for you

sweet dreams, mother....
May the stars in the sky dim their lights
May darkness come, enveloping you, like a blanket
May the pain sleep... may the torture stop

Dream, mother, dream about us...
Dream about the colorful Hanoi in spring
Dream about the crowded streets during peek hour
Dream about days when you held my tiny hands, crossing the street to school
Mother now I am taking MRT, all on my own
I often overslept and missed the station
Mom, dont stop dreaming...

Please, time, stop for a while
Let my mom's hands rest... stop sewing, stop knitting, stop...
Let my mom's eyes stop searching for my image... I am not coming home any soon
Let my mom fly... in her dreams

Because of her... I forget all reasons to cry
forget anger, forget revenge, forget lies
forget myself

My blood bleeds from her heart,
My tears flows from her eyes
My pain felt by her soul

Sleep, mom
When u wake up, ur pain will be just a nightmare
I am here, singing for u
my lullaby, from my heart, to yours
from my childhood
from my teenage
from every single second, I have you with me, always

...praying for the success of mom's operation
