Mưa BụI Trên Sông Delaware Poem by NHIEN NGUYEN MD

Sáng nay, thức dậy nhìn trời

Bấy giờ sáu rưỡi, ngoài trời bụi mưa.

Hôm nay, trời sẽ mưa ngày

Mặt trời chưa thức, đèn vàng mù sương.

Franklin cầu xám đèn mờ

Vào ngày, xe chạy ngược xuôi hai chiều.

Camden vẫn sáng đèn đêm

Sông dài, triệu sóng lăn tăn sóng vàng.

Giữa sông có một con tầu

Đèn pha chiếu sáng sóng vàng lăn tăn.

Thế rồi, khoảng mấy giờ sau

Tình cờ, tôi lại nhìn ra sông này

Ngoài trời mưa bụi vẫn bay

Sương mù phủ kín, sông đầy khói mây.

Below is English version of above poem by NHIEN NGUYEN MD:


MISTY RAIN OVER DELAWARE RIVER


As soon as I woke up, I looked up at the sky.

It was six thirty in the morning and misty rain was falling.

It was going to rain the whole day.

The sun didn't rise yet and golden lights shone on rain mists.

Lights on grey Franklin bridge appeared blurred in the rain

At day break, the bridge traffic was busy in both directions.

On Camden river bank, night lights were shining.

Over long river, million scales of golden lights glittered

There was a ship in the middle of the river

Its bright beam lights glittered on waving water.

Then, several hours later

By chance, I looked out on the river

The misty rain was still falling

The river was completely covered by misty clouds.
