khi mẹ buồn
đi kiếm con
con gái mẹ
xanh tuổi trẻ

khi mẹ buồn
đi kiếm con
con gái mẹ
mãi bên mẹ

khi mẹ buồn
ai biết ư
họ đứng nhìn
họ làm thinh

tôi mảnh vỡ
vạt áo rách
khi tôi buồn
ai biết ư?

When I’m blue
I’ll look for you
Pretty pretty hues
Shade shades of cool

When I’m blue
Will you be true
As if on cue
Sit here by this stool

When I’m blue
It’s nothing new
Will they have a clue
Sit by to watch and view

Me in pieces
Shredded
When I’m blue
Who knew?
