Darling, can you see we are like a pair of swallows, Soaring in the endless sky? Can you see we are as butterflies In a spring garden fragrant with life's blooms?
Except for a few ambitious ones, the majority of us only wish to lead a simple life. In simplicity, life is expansive with humble joy and tender companionship.
“I will lead you through a simple dream, my love. When the color on our garments hasn't faded A time when we're lost in deep velvety eyes... I send love songs into the dark night Or just the leaves rustling like in those times The country road is remarkably stainless, I will mount for you bright windows Your diary bespeaks dreamily of “schoolday-pureness”!!
Raindrops ring like someone's greetings... I look down on the pavement, the tiles have discolored, Beethoven's music runs through my withered soul, Lifting me up high and makes me cry... Should you chase after all the high clouds And wistfully join the world of the romantics I shall adorn you with a rose Just go leisurely, my late-awakened golden butterfly...
We return to the city in the evening Sensing loneliness from busy footsteps! What if one day you turn gray or pass away? Who will brighten up the autumn by silver candle light? Who will alleviate suffering by bringing more yearning?
Spring arrived in all aloofness Have your dreams ever come true? On the Hoàn Kiếm Lake, rain drizzles. We journey together to the land of pure love Yet in our spirit, there's already a shade of doubt!
January sky brings pouring torrential The wind sends a sign once every decade. My steps echo the silent sorrow; Avoiding the future like someone who fears brightness! I'll lead you through a simple dream, my love See you not our souls as precious as jade?”
A cozy little home, where spring fragrance fills the air. Then comes a hopeful summer, a radiant autumn, and a gladdened winter by the glowing bonfire… all of which give us a clear concept of the changing nature of life and the diversity in the universe. With a heart at ease, our smiles are forever youthful and innocent.
“My cozy little home perches on the hillside, Soothing breeze and gentle clouds draped amidst the sky. Fragrant flowers and grass so green perfume the air. Pine trees hum enchantingly to the dance of moon goddesses fair.
Butterflies frolic in the scented garden Flowers adorning tender branches, Pink, yellow, crimson, violet, peach. O, so aromatic, all the way to the Heavens!
Radiantly the moon glows on the graceful peak, Borne on the air a song of peace. Golden melody rises with the wind Into the clear sky, so calming.
The forest path, intimate as an embrace Enfolding your dainty steps, lifting dreamy days. In the distance the ocean chimes in poetry, Singing with me on this eve of fantasy.
In spring, wild flowers blanket the mountain, In summer, cicadas croon to a sweet reverie, In autumn, canary-colored leaves dance outside the window, In winter, flames sing cheerfully in the warm fire.
All four seasons, flowers bloom in my heart. Everywhere clouds approach in greeting. Loving friends make the heart grow fonder. Animals and birds mingle like close acquaintances!
Bring out the moon-shaped lute, Sound a delightful musical chord. Spirit soars with the notes of love, Joyful heart follows the music’s rhythm.
Tra la la fa la Fa la la tra la Tra la la fa la Fa la la tra la”
Spring will bring warmth to all beings, including all the lonely hearts and those experiencing sorrowful life situations. Spring is reflected in a thousand blossoming flowers and the serene smile of the merciful Lord. “You've returned to admire the rose blossom Gazing up to the Buddha, His smile was all embracing. All the flowers brighten with the arrival of spring. Carefree and self-contented with all the mundane gossip.”
“Gradually spring has returned Its fragrance warms the heart, making the soul carefree Spring comes to beautify our life ‘Peach blossoms of yesteryear still tease the winter wind.’
You've returned to admire the rose blossom Gazing up to the Buddha, His smile was all embracing All the flowers brighten with the arrival of spring Carefree and self-contented with all the mundane gossip
Hands clasped in whispered prayers Light-hearted and carefree, to survive criticisms Whereto did the water flow, thousands of years before? Blue sky, white clouds... oblivious to life’s sorrow
Spring returns, along with the months and years With the fragrance of virtue perfuming the world The return of spring brings all the joy Bestowing overflowing gladness on humanity”
When we’re in love and two hearts beat as one, the entire world becomes insignificant. There is only the music of the two souls in perfect harmony, flowing smoothly like a sweet brook, like spring flowers, and glistening like the moon and stars.
“Darling, can you see we are like a pair of swallows, Soaring in the endless sky? Can you see we are as butterflies In a spring garden fragrant with life's blooms? Can you see we are like the river, Flowing broadly toward the open sea?
Because we are in love, the Earth is so ravishing, Because we are in love, the world becomes joyful! Then our souls will flourish, assured. Walking amid turmoil and misery as if in Heaven, Our hearts will not shiver despite the raging storm.”
