Grammar:
-
Bao lâu ta đã im lặng
➔ Present Perfect Tense with 'đã'
➔ The phrase "bao lâu" (how long) is used with the present perfect "đã im lặng" (have been silent) to express an action that started in the past and continues to the present or has a relevant result in the present. "Đã" indicates that the action has already happened.
-
Từng thâu đêm phone cho nhau
➔ Use of 'từng' to indicate a past habit
➔ "Từng" means 'used to' or 'at one time' indicating a past habit or experience. The sentence implies that they "used to" spend nights talking on the phone.
-
Vẫn những cảm xúc ấy như khi anh, lần đầu, gặp em (vẫn y như lúc đầu)
➔ Comparison using 'như' (like/as) and parenthetical phrase for emphasis
➔ The sentence uses "như" to compare the current emotions to those felt when he first met her. The phrase "vẫn y như lúc đầu" (still just like the beginning) is a parenthetical phrase that re-emphasizes the initial comparison.
-
Chăng đây là đêm cuối, buông tay là hai người hai nơi?
➔ Rhetorical question with 'chăng' and conditional structure
➔ "Chăng" introduces a rhetorical question, expressing doubt or uncertainty. The phrase "buông tay là hai người hai nơi" (if we let go, we'll be two people in two places) implies a conditional consequence. The sentence expresses a sense of foreboding and questioning the future.
-
Hãy ôm anh lần cuối rồi cứ quay đi người ơi
➔ Imperative sentences with 'hãy' and 'cứ'
➔ "Hãy" is used to form imperative sentences, meaning 'please' or 'do'. "Cứ" means 'just' or 'go ahead'. So, the combined meaning is something like: "Please hug me one last time, then just go ahead and turn away, my love."
-
Em có thể xem anh là ai đó ghé ngang cuộc đời
➔ Use of 'có thể' (can/could) and relative clause 'ai đó ghé ngang cuộc đời' (someone who passes by in life)
➔ "Có thể" expresses possibility or permission. "Ai đó ghé ngang cuộc đời" is a relative clause defining the type of person she can consider him to be. It means: "You can consider me someone who just passed by in your life."
-
Người đó cho một em một nơi
➔ Double object construction
➔ The verb "cho" (to give) is used with two objects: "một em" (to you) and "một nơi" (a place). It illustrates that 'that person' is giving 'you' 'a place', or providing a secure and comforting environment.
-
Nói với anh đi bên anh ta, em rất vui
➔ Imperative with indirect speech
➔ "Nói với anh đi" (Tell me) is an imperative. The clause "bên anh ta, em rất vui" (that you are happy with him) is reported speech, conveying her happiness indirectly. The speaker wants to hear it from her directly.
-
Và gió theo anh trên đường về, giữa đêm mưa buông lạnh căm
➔ Descriptive language with 'và' to connect clauses
➔ "Và" (and) connects two descriptive clauses. The sentence vividly depicts the speaker's loneliness as he walks home in the cold rain.
