Đứa trẻ bị lạc

ĐỨA TRẺ BỊ LẠC

Cha ơi đừng vội vàng

Xin Cha đi chậm lại

Hãy trò chuyện với con

Nếu không, con lạc lối.

Đêm tối, cha chẳng thấy

Đứa trẻ ướt đầm sương

Đứa trẻ khóc nức nở

Chỉ sương khói bay lên.

The Little Boy Lost

‘Father! father! where are you going?

O do not walk so fast.

Speak, father, speak to your little boy,

Or else I shall be lost.’

The night was dark, no father was there;

The child was wet with dew;

The mire was deep, and the child did weep,

And away the vapour flew.
