Student Flower / Hoa Học Trò
Poem: Nhất Tuấn, Music: Anh Bằng

Do you still remember, my love?

A summer long ago, the flame tree bloomed red flowers

You asked me to come and pick them home for us to play together

Do you still remember, my love?

Do you still remember, my love?

I took the flower petal and pressed it on your cheek

To make you beautiful like an angel

But you didn't want to.

You're afraid of having to go to heaven.

You're afraid, afraid of having to go to heaven.

In heaven, we would be separated in different places

Hence, you only wanted to live in this world

Today, the flame tree of old days blooms gloriously

But since Fate spoiled our chance to be together

I feel like crying under the blood red flowers

Where are you now?

Where do I find you, my love?

Now, only pain and sorrow in my heart…
