(Lâm Thanh)
Poem: Nguyễn Du (1766-1820)

Kim Van Kieu (CD-KVK7-02)
Verses: 2821-2862.
English Translation: Lê Xuân Thủy.
He hurried home and had a pavilion built in his flowery garden.
Then Kim invited Mr. and Mrs. Vuong to come and live him. Morning and night, he
came to fulfill his ritual filial duties by taking care of them as Thuy-Kiêu
had previously. With admirable constancy, he wrote many successive letters with
black ink thinned with his tears. He sent men everywhere in search for his
beloved and tried kinds of correspondence with the sole hope of securing
information about her.
How much money had been spent in hiring people for this
commission? How many long voyages had been made to Weihsien. Poor young man,
how could he find her in a region when she was in the other and especially in
this vast country? His grief and impatience seemed to reach their paroxysm as
though his liver had been burnt by a hot iron and something had pierced his
tender heart. Like a silkworm emptied of its silk, Kim grew more and more
etiolated day after day. Dew and snow had made his frail body dismally thin.
Always absorbed in his thoughts, sometimes Kim did not even know
whether he was awake or dreaming. By dint of weeping, his tears were now mixed
with blood and his soul seemed to leave his body and float in some dream.
How could one describe the anxiety of the old man and of his wife?
If this continued unforeseeable calamity might happen to the poor young lover.
They hastened to make necessary preparations and chose a good day for the
celebration of his marriage to Thuy-Vân. The rosy hymen thread thus linked the
graceful beauty with the talent scholar into an ideal couple in the prime of
their spring.
Though enjoying this marriage, Kim could not forget the deep
sorrow that had tortured his poor heart.
During the co-habitation and in all his acts, it seemed as though
the deeper their new union was the more overflowing grew his old love. Each
time he retraced the misfortunes of Kiêu, Kim burst into bitter tears and
looked so mournful as if his bowels had been twisted one hundred times.
Occasionally, staying alone in his study room, he burned the incense and took
out the pipa of the past happy days. He let his fingers dance on the chords,
listening to the doleful murmuring of the silk. The aloe smoke curled up
lightly. The curtains waved gently in the breeze. It seemed as if Kiêu’s voice
were rising somewhere from the veranda, singing for him and that her silhouette
appeared before his eyes like in a dream.
His heart remained so faithful to their oaths carved on gold and
on stone that every time he dreamed of her, it appeared as if she came back to
him in this place. Sorrow and melancholy invaded his heart night and day.
How many springs had been succeeded by autumns? At a literary
competition organized in the capital both Vuong-Quan and Kim-Trong received
their doctorate on the same day of spring. This was like Heaven’s door opened
wide for them to a glory as high as the clouds. The almond-flowers of the
imperial garden greeted them on their passage and their fame spread as far as
the elm-trees of their native village.

Rentré chez lui, il fit
aménager sa maison entourée de jardin.
Et pria le chef de bureau de venir s’y installer avec sa femme.
Matin et soir, il les entoura de soins affectueux selon le rite ordinaire.
Il s’en chargea aux lieux et place de celle qui l’avait fait jadis.
Avec une constance admirable il écrivit des lettres avec de l’encre délayée
dans ses larmes.
Il envoya des gens la rechercher partout et essaya de lui écrire par tous les
moyens.
Quelles dépenses ne dit-il pas en agents et commissionnaires de toutes sortes.
Que de longs voyages il fit pour aller à Lâm Thanh et en revenir.
Mais pendant qu’elle était en un lieu, il la cherchait toujours en un autre.
Comment chercher quelque chose dans ce vaste pays qu’il ne connaissait
pas ?
Son désespoir était au comble et son impatience intolérable.
Son courage était à l’épreuve du feu et sa sensibilité soumise aux plus
cruelles meurtrissures.
Ses entrailles endolories se desséchaient.
A force d’affronter tous les jours des intempéries son corps fragile
maigrissait.
Somnolent, il lui arrivait de ne plus savoir s’il veillait au rêvait.
Il pleurait des larmes de sang et son âme semblait vouloir l’abandonner quand
las de tous ces vains efforts il se laissait assoupir.
Que d’inquiétudes et de craintes il donnait ainsi au père et à la mère.
Si cela devait durer plus que de raison, il arriverait un moment où cela
atteindrait un poil qu’on ne pouvait prévoir.
En toute hâte l’on fit des préparatifs et l’on choisit le jour.
Pour célébrer son mariage avec Thuy-Vân.
Elle, fine et gracieuse, lui lettré.
C’était un garçon cultivé et une fille de toute beauté au milieu de leur
printemps.
Quoiqu’ils fussent tout pleins de leur joie de nouveaux mariés.
Cette joie ne pouvait faire oublier la profonde douleur qu’ils éprouvaient.
Dans leurs rapports et dans leurs actes de chaque jour.
On voyait que plus leur union nouvelle était profonde plus son affection pour
celle qui n’était plus débordait. Et chaque fois qu’il se souvenait des
malheurs de Kieu.
Il pleurait d’abondantes larmes et sentait ses entrailles s’embrouiller comme
si elles étaient entortillées en des centaines de circonvolutions.
Quelquefois, seul dans son cabinet de travail.
Il rallumait la cassolette d’encens et sortait de l’armoire la Pipa des beaux
jours passés.
Ses doigts tournant et retournant sur les touches faisaient alors monologuer en
sourdine les cordes de soie. La fumée de bois d’aloès s’envolait légèrement et
la brise légère faisait onduler les rideaux. Il semblait que par-dessus le toit
et du côté du seuil de la maison.
La voix de Kieu se fit entendre et que sa silhouette se montrât comme dans un
rêve.
Parce que son cœur était resté fidèle à son bien aimé. Sa seule pensée avait pu
ainsi la faire revenir là sous ses yeux. Ce n’était pour lui que tristesse et
mélancolie nuit et jour.
Que de printemps et d’automnes se succédèrent ainsi. Sur ces entrefaites, il y
eut une session de concours littéraire à la capitale.
Vuong et Kim furent tous deux reçus docteurs le même jour.
La porte du Ciel leur fut largement ouverte au-delà de laquelle ils trouvèrent
la voie des nuages.
Les fleurs du jardin
impérial saluèrent leur passage et le parfum de leur gloire se répandit jusque
dans leur pays natal

đến câu 2862
Thơ : Nguyễn Du
Nhạc : Quách Vĩnh-Thiện
Paris, le 13 Septembre 2008
Ca Sĩ : Xuân Phú
Vội về sửa chốn vườn hoa,
Rước mời viên ngoại ông bà cùng sang,
Thần hôn chăm chút lễ thường,
Dưỡng thân thay tấm lòng nàng ngày xưa,
Đinh ninh mài lệ chép thư,
Cắt người tìm tõi đưa tờ nhắn nhe,
Biết bao công mướn của thuê,
Lâm thanh mấy độ đi về dặm khơi.
*
Người một nơi hỏi một nơi,
Mênh mông nào biết biển trời nơi nao,
Sinh càng thảm thiết khát khao,
Như nung gan sắt như bào lòng son,
Ruột tầm ngày một héo hon,
Tuyết sương ngày một hao mòn mình ve,
Thẩn thờ lúc tỉnh lúc mê,
Máu theo nước mắt hồn lìa chiêm bao,
Xuân huyên lo sợ xiết bao,
Quá ra khi đến thế nào mà hay.
*
Vội vàng sấm sửa chọn ngày,
Duyên Vân sớm đã xe dây cho chàng,
Người yểu điệu kẻ văn chương,
Trai tài gái sắc xuân đương vừa thì,
Tuy rằng vui chữ vu qui,
Vui nầy đã cất sầu kia được nào,
Khi ăn ở lúc ra vào,
Càng âu duyên mới càng dào tình xưa,
Nỗi nàng nhớ đến bao giờ,
Tuôn châu đòi trận vò tơ trăm vòng.
Có khi vắng vẻ thư phòng,
Đốt lò hương giở phím đồng ngày xưa.
*
Bẻ bay rủ rỉ tiếng tơ,
Trầm bay nhạt khói gió đưa lay rèm,
Dường như bên nóc trước thềm,
Tiếng Kiều đồng vọng bóng xiêm mơ màng,
Bởi lòng tạc đá ghi vàng,
Tưởng nàng nên lại thấy nàng về đây,
Những là phiền muộn đêm ngày,
Xuân thu đã biết đổi thay mấy lần.
Chế khoa gặp hội trường văn,
Vương Kim cùng chiếm bảng xuân một ngày.
Cửa trời rộng mở đường mây,
Hoa chào ngõ hạnh hương bay dặm phần.
Chú giải :
Lâm Thanh = là nơi Mã Giám Sinh nói dối là quê ở đó.
Dặm phần = quê nhà.
