And Here and Now .. ..
What can I do for You, my Motherland ?
With what's left of my exile's old life ?
I can't care about anyone
Now that You all,
My Father and my Mother are gone !
 
All the incertain Future to come -
What shall I be living for ?
The morning light brings me no relief

My heart is still beating
But what is mine beating for ?
And my life does go on
But it's too loud and too strong
When I think of You,  my beloved Homeland


And Here and Now .. ..
What will I do for You, my Fatherland ?
With what's left of my political exile life?
With this noble engaged life?
My dear Father, You left me the Homeland
But now it is becoming smaller and darker
By the pro-china vietnamese red traiters

My so-called comrades-in-arms
You do tell me to move on
I do know it's never over our Great Cause for Vietnam
Our beloved Paris is so empty
And sad to my Vietnamese community now
I can't bear the meeting places we used to go
 
And Here and Now .. ..
What can I do for You, my Homeland ?
What will I do ?
I'll never sing the old sóng again, never recite poems again
I think of You, my most beloved Homeland
In the lonely nights
In exile in Paris

Perhaps by morning I'll miss to meet You forever
 Some nights I do see a reflection on myself
Almost it seems an end of my exile's old life
No tears and no joy
Just a silent memory
That moment when I was still very young
To say farewell my beloved Hanoi
In that faraway night in 1954

And Here and Now .. ..
What can I do for You, my Motherland ?
And now what am I going to do for You
With the rest of my life
With all the comrades-in-arms whom I do care
Now, that you are now in the darkest prison cells

As the noblest Prisoners of Conscience
Trần Huỳnh Duy Thức - Cấn Thị Thêu
 Nguyễn Văn Đài - Nguyễn Hữu Vinh
Bùi Thị Minh Hằng  and the unknown others
All the nights, I think for what and for whom
Perhaps for your solitude in jail
And for the society's so-called indifference
And this another night returns for nothing
My heart who is still beating for whom and for what
Who beats so strong and too strong
For You - the noblest Prisoners of Conscience

You - my comrades-in-arms, are nice
You know well that something can be done
For Vietnam's Democracy and Freedom
Even Paris, a cradle of revolution
All her streets can not inspire Hanoi's and Saigon's ones
 And Here and Now
What am I going to do for You, my beloved Motherland
I will hope and dream no more
It's too long for 40 years
I'm going to burn all these white nights in exile
And then one midnight in the mirror
I shall see the end of my exile life
No smiles and no tears
At the last moment to say farewell

And Here and Now .. ..
I really have nothing else to do for You,
My beloved Motherland
And Here and Now .. ..
I really have nothing else
I really have nothing else to do for You,
My dear Fatherland

And Here and Now .. ..
I really have nothing else
Nothing else to do for You,
I have a big regret, my dear Vietnam
Nothing else to do for You .. ..
