Hương Nguyền(Kim Oanh) - Vowing Fragrance (Hương Cau Cao Tân)

Hương Nguyền

Thắp nến lên xua bóng ngậm ngùi
Đóa hồng thắm mỉm cười hé nở
Nụ tinh khôi gửi người muôn thuở
Một dại khờ, bỡ ngỡ còn nguyên
Dù mai xa ướp giữ hương nguyền
Tình Nhân nhớ cất duyên tiền kiếp

Vowing Fragrance by Kim Oanh

Lighting the candles to cast away the shadow of self-pity
Admiring the bright rose that is budding and smiling slightly
This virgin bloom is reserved for my idolized person of everlasting
Despite being naïve once, the surprised feeling is still whole and remaining
Even when we will be apart let’s be maintaining the vowing fragrance
My Soulmate Love, please keep guarding the gift of predestination.
