                         Item 1: Poem.

Nhưng tôi biết cái màu đỏ ấy,

Cái màu đỏ như cái màu đỏ ấy
Sẽ là bông hoa chuối đỏ tươi
Trên đỉnh dốc cao vẫy gọi đoàn người
Sẽ là ánh lửa hồng bên bếp
Một làng xa , giữa đêm gió rét...
Nghĩa là màu đỏ ấy theo đi
Như không  hề có cuộc chia li..."

I don't know why you said goodbye
Just let me know you didn't know forever my love
Please  tell me why you make me cry
I beg you please i'm on my knees
If that's what you want me to

*Never knew that you would go so far
Why you left me on that boulevard
Come again you would release my pain
And we could be lovers again
Just one more chance, another dance
And let me feel it isn't real
That i've been losing you
The sun will rise within your eyes
Come back to me then we will be happy together

May be today  i'll make you stay
A little while just for a smile in love together
For i will show a place i know in Tokyo
Where we could be happy together.
