Sầu đong càng khắc càng đầy,
Ba thu dọn lại một ngày dài ghê.
...
...
Tuần trăng khuyết, đĩa dầu hao,
Mặt tơ tưởng mặt, lòng ngao ngán lòng.
- The English meaning maybe as below:
Time seemed to elapse slowlier than ever,
One day of lovesickness equalled three autumns.
...
...
Under the waned moons, beside the burned out lamps,
He longed to see her face, yearned to date her heart.

LOVESICK SẦU ĐONG
is a movement of many movements composition of Do Kien Cuong, which inspired from "The Tale of Kiều" written by Nguyễn Du. The tale is about 15 years of Thúy Kiều's life with many moments of happiness and hardship. Therefore, instead of using the musical term movement, Cuong is using the word moment for each movement of the composition.
