Dim Moon on the Mountain Spring
Music and Lyrics by Lê Mộng Nguyên
That night my love and I met by the mountain spring
Amidst the misty woods bathed in a dim-lit moon
For just one night of love and then to part so soon
Each one to the far unknown horizon heading.
In countless n
...ights by the silent dreamy waters
My heart is rent, I feel lonely for one beloved,
Wonder if she recalls that night the music of
That echoes in my heart under the moonlight clear.
O stream! Where is our old vow by your water’s edge?
Remember me the distant one in smoky haze?
O stream! Where are the yellow moon of younger days?
Boating under the rising moon drunken, bewitched ?
Who has gone off
To the yonder windswept frontier,
And the forlorn battleground drear?
One day away from you faded my memory.
Why did heaven make separation so painful?
From way yonder do you still long for me?
Old days still live, my love abides soulful.
