Sleepy Moon Poem by NHIEN NGUYEN MD

The night sky is very beautiful in the absence of rain
The sky dome is high and clear with a very round moon.
The moon is sitting on top of a mountain ridge.
It also appears like sitting on a curved branch of leafless trees.
This setting moon is bright and perfectly round.
These dancing trees are enticing the moon to sleep.
Getting sleepy, the moon is falling steadily
And it will be in deep sleep behind the mountain ridge.

Translation of a Vietnamese poem of NHIEN NGUYEN MD


TRĂNG BUỒN NGỦ


Đêm nay trời đẹp, không mưa
Bầu trời cao sáng, mặt trăng rất tròn.
Bây gìơ, trăng gác đầu non
Hàng cây không lá, cành cong trăng ngồi.
Trăng ngồi, trăng sáng tròn vo
Hàng cây khiêu vũ ru mời ngủ say
Chớm say, trăng rớt xuống dần
Rồi khi ngủ kỹ, nằm sau núi này.
