So sorry but I cannot help you because it has many sentences I cannot translate :( But I have translated the first part of "Nhật kí của mẹ" - "Mom's dairy", one of the best Vietnamese song. Hope you like it :)
(Vietnamese lycris)
Bao ngày mẹ ngóng, bao ngày mẹ trông
Bao ngày mẹ mong con chào đời
Ấp trong đáy lòng có chăng tiếng cười
Của một hài nhi đang lớn dần
Mẹ chợt tỉnh giấc và Mẹ nhìn thấy
Hình hài nhỏ bé như thiên thần
Tiếng con khóc òa mắt mẹ lệ nhòa
Cám ơn vì con đến bên Mẹ
Này con yêu ơi con biết không
Mẹ yêu con yêu con nhất đời
Ngắm con ngoan nằm trong nôi
Mắt xoe tròn ôi bé cưng
Nhìn cha con cha đang rất vui
Giọt nước mắt lăn trên khóe môi
Con hãy nhìn kìa cha đang khóc vì con

(My translating):
Since day by day, with hope and pray
I've been waiting for your birth.
Cherished inside, was there a laughter of an infant forming up?
I suddenly woke up and saw your beautiful fairy form
In your burst cry, my happy tears...Thank you for coming to me!
My lovely dear, don't you know ? I love you more than anything
Oh honey, you lay there... in cradle with eyes open
Looking at your Dad with joyous tears rolling on his lips
You see my dear, Dad was crying for you...
