Vu Tu Nam

Mountain, River

The mountain stands still,
Looks down at the river.

The river gently flows away, away.

Bearing with it the blue
Soul of the mountain

Which mixes with the blue of the sky.

Oh River, are you gone already?

Bewildered the mountain looks back,

Sees the gentle river still at its side.
It's so, my love.

The river goes away, but
Always remains.

And day after day, the mountain
Looks at its image in the water

And sees the blue of the sky, the blue of
The mountain, a pure blue.
