Đừng vội dừng bên cầu Hà Ra ( Do not try to stop the Ha Ra)
Em hãy cùng anh qua cầu Xóm Bóng ( Let cross Xom Bong bridge with me )
Chúng mình lên Tháp Bà gió lộng ( We go to windy Lady Tower together)
Ngó qua đồi La Sang… ( Look over La Sang Hill… )
Ngắm trời thu Nha Trang ( Enjoy the Nha Trang Fall)
Trong màu xanh huyền ảo ( In the magical blue)
Trong sắc vàng êm dịu ( In the mellow yellow )
Tóc vờn bay bên cầu… ( Playing with the hair on the bridge )
