Chờ Lyrics Translation – Kim Kunni
The songwriter mentions the midday sun and sudden downpours, using natural imagery to highlight the passage of time. A key line translates to, ‘I’m waiting for someone to come and love me, so these feelings can wake up before they drift away.’ The lyrics poetically describe the desperation and hope tied to unfulfilled longing.
Chờ, chờ đợi đến bao giờ?Waiting, just how much longer must I wait?
Cho đến khi nào thôi còn mong chờ?When will I finally stop this endless longing?
Chờ, chờ hoài đến ngây khờI’ve been waiting so long that I’ve gone foolish,
Chờ ai đó đến bên thôijust waiting for someone to come stay by my side.
Dẫu nắng ban trưa hay trời mưa rào đêm tốiWhether it’s the midday sun or a sudden downpour at night,
Có ai gọi tên tôi?is there anyone who’ll call my name?
Vội vàng nhung nhớ rồiI’ve fallen into a hurried state of longing,
Phút chốc vu vơ quên rằngand in a fleeting moment, I’ve forgotten that…

Chờ, chờ người đến yêu thươngWaiting, waiting for someone to come and love me.
Cho những vấn vương ngủ quên kịp thức giấc (thức giấc)So these lingering feelings can wake up before they drift away.
Chờ, chờ người trong những khi mơ màngI’m waiting, waiting for you while I’m lost in a daze.
Chờ mong mãi, tiếc thương thời gian trôi quaI keep on longing, mourning the time that’s slipping away.
Dẫu nắng ban trưa hay trời mưa rào đêm tốiWhether it’s the midday sun or a sudden downpour at night,
Có ai gọi tên tôi?is there anyone who’ll call my name?
Vội vàng nhung nhớ rồiI’ve fallen into a hurried state of longing,
Phút chốc vu vơ quên rằngand in a fleeting moment, I’ve forgotten that…
