Em cứ như lá non, xanh biếc không phấn son

A year has gone since you left me behind
Trying not to cry, but tears swell my eyes
Tell me, dear, tell me how I can find
The smiles I had when you were beside?

A year has passed since our life came apart
It's you who knocked and opened my heart
Why did you leave it there, orphan and uncared
When happiness was coming so near?

A year of empty days and cold, cold nights
You used to have so many gifts of life
Why not the length of years? How can I bear
My homeless soul when darkness falls?

A year has passed and they say nothing lasts
Sorrow will go and new love be found
Trying to believe but deep down in my heart
Life has changed and the pain remains

A year without you and many years to come
I would travel this life on my lonesome
I would call your phone over and over
The number, as always, is not available.
