This is for my mom who wants to "go home" to where she was born. She'd say "Mai tôi về," meaning I'll go home tomorrow. She often says she misses her parents and her brother and wants to go home to live with them.
The lush green bamboo groves tower over me
On the shady paths I walk slowly
The wind gently dances on my cheeks
The fragrance of the flowers touches my senses
I’ll be home tomorrow
Into my parents’ arms I run
I hold tight to their love
Hoping to find my youthful innocence
Let me dream my youthful dreams again
I’ll be home tomorrow
Grasping my brother’s hand in mine
I missed him so much
Now we’re together again
We’ll share our stories since we departed
I’ll be home tomorrow
To my childhood home full of love
My doting grandparents adored me so
I don’t mind being a little girl
Snuggling in bed with my sweet grandma
I’ll be home tomorrow
To my old village
The tall grass waves and the rice fields glisten
The children happily skip and run
Listening to the music from the kites up in the clouds
I’ll be home tomorrow
To Ninh Tảo my home sweet home
This is where I will end my journey
A whole world of memories rises up in me
Could this be real or is it just a dream?
