Each of us has a name

Each of us has a name
given by God
and given by our parents

Each of us has a name
given by our stature and our smile
and given by what we wear

Each of us has a name
given by the mountains
and given by our walls

Each of us has a name
given by the stars
and given by our neighbors

Each of us has a name
given by our sins
and given by our longing

Each of us has a name
given by our enemies
and given by our love

Each of us has a name
given by our celebrations
and given by our work

Each of us has a name
given by the seasons
and given by our blindness

Each of us has a name
given by the sea
and given by
our death.

Búi tóc cánh phượng, kẹp vàng giắt
Lược chạm hoa rồng, tay ngọc chải
Đỡ nhau cười, chạy đến bên song
Hỏi yêu: “mày kẻ đậm nhạt có hợp thời?”
Cầm bút đã quen
Vẽ hoa mới thử
Nỡ để thuê thùa kém đẹp chăng?
Cười hỏi “Hai chữ uyên ương viết thế nào?”
