This is a beautiful song by Vietnamese erhu. Its lyric is very metaphorical, but, yeah so beautiful ^^. I really love it and I'm sure you guys will love it too. You can listen to the version with voice here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=3YZjr7pTD_k

Vietnamese erhu has a distinctive style that is different from chinese erhu. can you feel it? (this is a video performance of "dan nhi" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci0K846Wr1Q&feature=related

(This is another Vietnam erhu, which is very weird: http://youtube.com/watch?v=f9WVTb83KUM )
By the way, the dresses in this video are called "ao dai". "ao dai" is vietnamese traditional dress. It's the uniform for many high schools too.
Lyric:
I was lying down, remembering
a pure day, a tilted season
the blurred, distant wheat filed
the bird wings bending at the end of the sky

I came back to that place
A green shoulder
A green stream of hair
Is that the horizon
or a shower at the end of the sky

And the wind follows me, drifting on that path
And the sunlight follows me on that deserted river
The season has passed through the deep green regions
That person has forgotten the times that I felt sad

From every footstep on that road that I once passed
has blossomed flowers, deserted flowers
That person has gone through my words
Hey, that noon dream
when will I return?
The sound of a temple's bell

  • Thank you for the beautiful song. I am making a music/pictures presentation of all my photos from my travels to Viet Nam, and I couldn't find a song to go with them....until now. This song is perfect; so thank you.

  • I am very glad to hear that. Good luck with your presentation!

  • i love this :) so much :) did you play it?

  • Ah of course not :D. My playing is horrible. I believe this piece is performed by ms. Thuy` Anh from Hanoi Conservatory.

  • Trong tâm khảm người Việt chưa ai quên được 80 năm dưới chế độ Thực dân Pháp dân tộc ta đã chịu biết bao nhiêu thống khổ dưới gót giày xâm lược. Thực dân tha hồ bắn giết, nhiều làng bị san bằng...

    Và dưới chế độ độc tài, thế hệ chúng ta đã chịu bao nhiêu điêu linh cay đắng! Sống chết nhờ họa, phúc, bất trắc đọa đày. Đấy là những người cầm quyền cùng nòi giống Việt, nói chi đến chế độ cai trị trực tiếp trăm lần khắc nghiệt của thực dân phương Bắc ...
