Xuân Vũ TRẦN ĐỉNH NGỌC |
Sàigòn là của tôi, của bạn Sàigòn là ngàn vạn yêu thương Sàigòn nhớ mọi con đường Sàigòn những lúc đêm sương, đèn vàng!
Sàigòn vòng quanh chơi Sở thú Sàigòn vui du hí về đêm Sàigòn tên gọi êm đềm Cho tôi những phút giây thêm yêu đời!
Sàigòn nhiều tiệm tùng tấp nập Sàigòn là rầm rập đông vui Sàigòn trong trái tim tôi Trong anh, trong chị ngàn đời không phai!
Sàigòn đây thủ đô Văn hóa Sàigòn đầy hàng hóa chất kho Sàigòn bận lúc tinh mơ Sàigòn nhộn nhịp tờ mờ sáng trăng!
Chợ Bến Thành Sàigòn sầm uất Bến Bạch Đằng tầu khuất trong sương Văn Khoa, trường Luật, Kinh Thương Trưng Vương, Hưng Đạo cùng trường Gia Long...
Chiều thư viện ngồi nhìn liễu rủ Mùa thi về ngắm phượng đỏ rơi Những đêm trăng sáng dạo chơi Nhà Bè nước chảy chia đôi hai bờ.
Sàigòn yêu ơi! Ngàn nỗi nhớ!Tôi nằm mơ vẫn thấy Sàigòn Sàigòn dấu ái, bao dong Ngàn năm tôi vẫn Sàigòn gọi tên!

CALLING SAIGON
Saigon is mine and yours, Saigon is multiple love we reserved for her. I am sitting here remembering all Saigon’s lovely streets And the foggy nights pierced by occasional yellow lights.
I lived in Saigon no less than twenty-one years. Sometimes I went to Saigon zoo enjoying looking at wild animals, However, Saigon theaters, tea shops and dancing clubs all opened late at night, Saigon - How nice and delicate name that gave me more reasons to increase my love toward life.
Saigon with multiple stores welcoming thousands and thousands of traders and customers, Her large and small streets were full of people and vehicles of all kinds, from cars, bikes to scooters. There is no doubt Saigon is always in my heart and so is in yours.
Saigon is the cultural capital of the South of Vietnam, Her stores were full of merchandise, both local and imported, Saigon was so busy from the early morning till dusk with the weak light of the crescent moon.
The Ben Thanh market was always so crowded, noisy and animated, The commercial and Navy boats at Port Bach Dang were sometimes hidden in a foggy milky veil, Here are the Faculty of Letters, the Law School and the Economical and Commercial School, There are Trung Vuong, Hung Dao and Gia Long High School.
Sometimes, I spent some beautiful afternoons at Saigon Municipal Library watching the green willow leaves rustling softly in the breeze, And when it was the examination season, I focused my eyes on the falling red jaracanda flowers. When the moon was full I often walked around the Port Nha Be where the Saigon River water flow was divided into two parts.
Saigon! My darling! I miss you very much, In my dream, I always saw you with your beautiful monuments, streets and parks. You are so generously and lovely, I’ll call your nice name for thousands and thousands years and never forget you, honey!
