Thầy thắp sáng lại Niềm tin từ những trái tim vô vọng;
Để lái những chuyền đò đưa học trò cập bến đam mê;
Chốn rừng xanh mênh mang, Thầy là tiếng chim Cuốc gọi về;
Sưởi ấm lại Đầy - Vơi - Ý nhị và Thi vị 'Thuở Xưa';
Ở tuổi nghỉ ngơi, Thầy vẫn đội Nắng Đi - Về - Ngẫm - Nghĩ;
Thầy vẫn là Thầy lái những chuyến đò trên Sông Khát vọng Tự do.

It was a cold January night, the north wind whistled continuously through the cracks in the old door. Breaking the mood the phone rang. A person on the other end spoke urgently - please come immediately, Khuoi Quay forest in Na Tang village is being destroyed. The voice had such burning passion and worry that I felt the need to leave immediately for that remote place. |
