Song lyrics: Uncombed hair and forgotten strands
Two passersby at the door, grinning wide without a care
A fallen book, unnoticed by all, I follow along this path alone
A fleeting cloud covers, a hand reaches out to no one
For years, forgetting sleep, engrossed in myriad calculations
Uncombed hair of forgetfulness, witnessing affection afar
The sound of rain hastens, run quickly before getting wet
Glistening rain amidst sunlight, tree shadows blend with our breath
In the lush green bamboo cluster, an old caterpillar lies waiting for dryness
The 13th day has passed
Remembering mother's laughter from the past
Standing, gazing for quite a while
Watching the stream of thoughts carry us away
For years forgetting sleep, entangled with a thousand calculations
Untouched hair, a sight of longing
The hurried raindrops, run fast before getting wet
Sparkling rain piercing through sunlight, tree shadows blending into our breath
In the lush green bamboo cluster, an old caterpillar lies waiting for dryness
The 13th day has passed
Remembering mother's laughter from the past
Standing, gazing for a long while
Watching the stream of thoughts carry us away
Lyrics 'Untouched hair' by Lê Cát Trọng Lý written about mother
