Danh cho anh mot cho du'ng binh yen, 

chon an nghi mua ve khong su~ng uot... 

Danh cho anh giac ngu that binh yen, 

em ben canh quat no^`ng, khan ao muo.t.

Save a place for you, where no rain shall touch

a place of rest, where the heart shall mean this much:

For the rest of time, I shall remain loving you

your peaceful  sleep is my pledge to be true

that I will be next to you, from this life to the next

and love till eternity is the love it takes

to make me the breezing fan that  keeps you cool

and the soothing silk that makes you whole

It is the same intensity that I will deliver to my beloved mother. Love is love, unconditional and unwavering
