HOME SWEET HOME

 

Nhatrang Beach

 

Nha Trang, the white sand beach

My "home" when I was a kid

White sand as soft as baby powder

Soft waves, beautiful shells, I remembered

 

"Home" sweet home, I have left

Broken shells are all I kept

Passing wind from East to West

Bringing white sand to my breath

 

California, here I stay

"New home" at this new place

Heart is here! But where is soul?

Without soul, heart feels so cold.

 

"New home", begins my foundation

Extend my love, rebuild my reputation,

From the past to the future

Rebuild my home all together

 

Nha Trang is my soul

Begins my life, memories unfold

California is my heart

Cherish it the opportunity I have got

 

My soul remains in Nha Trang

My heart keeps at California

Heart and soul are in my mind

Together they are always mine

 

Home sweet home where I have stayed

In the past, and as of today

Home sweet home, I am here

Nha Trang-California, are mine to cheer.
