Translate the following poem into Vietnamese.

Do you like the sky at night
When the stars are shining bright?
Do you like it in the day
When the clouds all go away?

What I like is the morning sun
Shining on me when I run
And I also like the rain
Pattering on my windowpane.

Note: Patter (v): R¬i lép bép
Windowpane (n): Khung cöa sæ
Bạn có thích bầu trời ban đêm
Khi các vì sao chiếu sáng ?
Bạn có thích bấu trời ban ngày
Khi những đám mây bay đi?

Tôi thích mặt trời ban sớm
Chiếu nắng lên tôi khi tôi chạy
Và tôi cũng thích mưa
Rơi lộp bộp trên khung cửa sổ
