Author: Tản Đà | A Fayland Duet Rendition
Cherry blossom leaves
falling…
Scattered on the grounds.
The brook flows a parting melody,
The birds chorus a sad goodbye…
Half a year with the fairy maidens,
One step to return to the earthly sun.
An old promise,
a love unfulfilled,
it’ll all soon be but a dream.
Rocks become worn,
mosses turn jaded green.
The river’s ever flowing,
the flowers ever drifting...
The cave’s entrance,
the mountaintop
will be just a legend.
Thousands of years passed,
the moon idly casts a shadow
on the once enchanted grounds…
