Mất Thời Gian Lyrics English Translation by Thắng
Wasting time, what takes time is what really needs to be done,
If you waste time, you accept losing unjust money, and even your job,
Then you still have to try to play,
Be patient, oh my friend, and if you only have a minute,
Then let it be a minute to play, to read a bit of comics, or go outside to gaze at the blue sky.
How did you look at clouds when you were little?
How did you play with leaves?
Is it wrong to play at night? There’s no time to lose.
How did you play when you were little?
Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten,
Forgetting is like death,
You might forget how to sit or stand, but don’t forget how to play.
Let’s waste time because what takes time is what must be done,
Don’t be busy on the most beautiful day, oh my goodness,
Why not be busy playing?
Find a place with water and swim,
Or look at your clothes drying in the silly sun,
Be patient and look closely, my friend,
Because those things, my friend, are the most beautiful things in life.
How did you play in the rain when you were little?
Stepped into puddles with a splash,
Playing is also a sport,
There’s no time to lose.
How did you play when you were little?
Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten,
Forgetting is like death,
You might forget how to sit or stand, but don’t forget how to play.
