Buồn Tàn Thu – Sorrow of Fading Autumn
ngày 30.10.25
không gian tĩnh lặng chiều nay
sương thu lất phất, lá bay muôn chiều
đó đây cảnh vật đìu hiu
chim vang tiếng gọi, hồn phiêu hốt buồn
xót mình một gã tha hương
tóc xanh bỗng chốc thành sương muối rồi
gục đầu thầm gọi quê tôi
dư âm mặn chát giọt rơi não nùng
đêm mơ giấc mộng tao phùng
nhưng sao sông núi quay lưng ngậm ngùi
bâng khuâng trả lại ngọt bùi
trả luôn nỗi nhớ niềm vui… ra về
giật mình cùng nỗi tái tê
nghe chăn chiếu lạnh, bốn bề tịch liêu
thời gian gõ nhịp buồn thiu
thương quê nhớ nước buồn hiu hắt buồn

Sorrow of Fading Autumn
The evening falls in silent grace,
Soft autumn mist drifts through the space.
Leaves scatter far on every side,
A lonely bird calls — the heart can’t hide.
I pity this wanderer far away,
Whose hair turns frost from green today.
I bow my head and call my land,
Tears fall bitter, I can hardly stand.
At night I dream of meeting dear,
But mountains turn their backs in fear.
I give back sweetness, joy, and song,
Return them all — to where they belong.
I wake with sorrow’s sudden sting,
Cold blankets bite — no comforting wing.
Time taps along its mournful chime,
I miss my home through endless time.
Music: Sorrow of Fading Autumn
Verse 1
The evening lies in silent gray,
Soft autumn mists drift far away.
Leaves spin and fall through empty skies,
A lonesome bird’s faint calling dies.
Verse 2
I grieve this soul, a man alone,
A wanderer with heart of stone.
My hair once black now fades to white,
I whisper home through tears tonight.
Chorus
Oh fading autumn, sad and still,
You chill my heart, you test my will.
Across the winds my memories roam,
I long for you — my distant home.
Verse 3
In dreams I meet my friends once more,
Yet mountains turn their backs once more.
I give back sweetness, joy, and glee,
And walk away — my soul set free.
Bridge
I wake to feel the cold night’s breath,
The quilt is thin, the room holds death.
Time knocks its beat, so soft, so near,
And fills my heart with silent tears.
Final Chorus
Oh fading autumn, sad and still,
You haunt my heart, you always will.
The years drift by in shades of blue,
My home, my land — I dream of you.
Outro (softly)
The evening fades, the mists are gone,
Yet in my heart, you linger on.
