Lời bài hát:
''Time, don't rush like the wind
Flying relentlessly towards the end of the sky
So we can speak our goodbyes
Days are passing, seconds of our parting almost over
Seeing someone standing in the courtyard watching falling flowers.

Sitting in class, countless things
like a dream just yesterday
All memories of many years slowly fading away
Oh my heart, listen to the clock ticking with emotions
Wrapping all our love inside
Summer comes with wind and rain
We worry amidst the exam season
The day of parting, listening to our hearts beating
Reminding us not to forget

Old times have so many
beautiful things like a dream just yesterday
Don't be far away, the love we have for each other
Sitting together, adding green ink to the page
Quickly writing and passing it along
This afternoon sitting in class
teachers and students, different from other days.
Gently listen to the sound of that clock.

Friends sitting together
smiling, not as beautiful now
Talking about our dreams for tomorrow
How many minutes and how many hours
for time to return
To save all the memories of today
Oh my heart, listen to the clock ticking with emotions
Keeping today for each other
Summer comes with wind and rain
We worry amidst the exam season
The day of parting, listening to our hearts beating
Reminding us not to forget
Time, grant us one wish
Let's stop... just once... it flow.''

After the melodious farewell in 'Goodbye, my dear,' Lynk Lee unveils his latest track Those days, you and I. True to the song's name, it's like a heartfelt expression about friendship during the school days.

Lynk Lee shares that he wants to dedicate the song Those days, you and I to Ngo Si Lien High School, Bac Giang, where he studied. This is the sentiment of a former student towards his school and also a gift to everyone who has passed through their student days, urging them to always remember the most beautiful memories.

Lyrics:

''Memories still linger in that schoolyard
Uhhh ah...
School memories of joy in the evening breeze
Watching the Ao Dai uniforms scatter after school
Where are they now, oh oh...

Time slowly drifts with childhood
Formerly innocent with countless dreams
And as I drift away from the student years

Outside, memories fall like red petals
Suddenly recalling the distant past
And today, we have returned
My friend, now I want to say

That my heart still remembers
The old teacher who taught us is no longer there
Returning to that place
Each year suddenly appears in memory

The old days forever fly far away, far from us to a distant place
With falling phoenix flowers bathing in golden sunlight
And in the rain, we walk together on the old road
The old days forever fly far away, far from us to that place
Many friends from the past, side by side
Now only I remain
In sincere nostalgia

Uhhh ah...
Memories still linger in that schoolyard
Uhhh ah...
School memories of joy in the evening breeze
Watching the Ao Dai uniforms scatter after school
Where are they now, oh oh...

So much love, so many dreams
Have gone far to the place in the heart
And what remains in us are the long years
Remembering the childhood memories from long ago

Now the rose that I gave you
Pressed in that keepsake notebook
The world may change, months and years may fade
We will always remember, remember each other

That my heart still remembers
The old teacher who taught us is no longer there
Returning to that place
Each year suddenly appears in memory

The old days forever fly far away, far from us to a distant place
With falling phoenix flowers bathing in golden sunlight
And in the rain, we walk together on the old road
The old days forever fly far away, far from us to that place
Many friends from the past, side by side
Now only I remain
In sincere nostalgia

Where? Where? Who knows now?
Days when you and I often went to class
Now where to find?
Here, a little innocent pink in the purple of the violets

Forever remembering those childhood days
We played under the school yard
But now, we've drifted apart
My dear friend... Don't forget

The old days forever fly far away, far from us to a distant place
With falling phoenix flowers bathing in golden sunlight
And in the rain, we walk together on the old road
The old days forever fly far away, far from us to that place
Many friends from the past, side by side
Now only I remain
In sincere nostalgia

Memories still linger in that schoolyard
Uhhh ah...
School memories of joy in the evening breeze
Watching the Ao Dai uniforms scatter after school
Where are they now, oh oh...''

As a reaffirmation of pure and enduring friendships, the parting is only temporary, and true friends will always stand by each other. The song For You, For Me by singer Lam Truong truly carries a lot of meaning for those who have experienced their school and college days.

Stepping out of high school, each person takes a different path, but no matter where, the friendship and the passion, the aspirations of youth still remain in the heart, like 'flowers that stay beautiful forever, having each other in life.'

Lyrics:
''In the past, so innocent
I dreamt of fairies
In the warm glow of true friendship

In the past, the courtyard was full of falling phoenix flowers
My soul was light as I sang
Who knows, someday this will be my destination

When someone gives trust
Raising a hand to their own heart
For so much passion to resonate in the song

The lyrics endure for you, for me
Love endures in this heart
For life, enduring so much joy

The lyrics endure for you, for me
Love endures in this heart
Every flower, forever beautiful, having each other in life.''

Featured in the debut music project of singer Khanh Linh, the song Farewell has captivated many audiences with its gentle lyrics and profound message about school days, especially during every farewell season.

Lyrics:

''The happy days slowly fade away
And the moment of farewell to dear friends
Memories forever in our hearts
Those happy days we were together
Overcoming life's hardships
The happy days slowly fade away
And the moment of farewell to dear friends
Memories forever in our hearts
Those happy days we were together
We hope one day to meet again

A peaceful day holding hands, overcoming together
Thousands of miles apart, tears overflowing
We still see joy and belief in those eyes
Goodbye, and the happy day we'll meet again.''

Lyrics:

''In the childhood days we remember
We held hands and walked to school
Into the classroom with beloved friends
Dear teachers, so many memories now in the past.

Hey friends, come here, let's hold hands
For the sadness to shorten the distance
Together, our friendship will always shine
It will never fade away.

Hey friends, come here, let's sing together
For the sorrows to vanish completely
For the teachers, for the school
For you and for me.
...
For ourselves, for our aspirations
We will forever remember each other.''

Enchanting Dreams is a composition about the innocent and pure emotions of school days, written by composer Nguyễn Hoàng Linh specifically for singer Miu Lê. The song's content not only reflects the heartfelt sentiments of an entire generation of students but also evokes beautiful memories for anyone who has spent time sitting in the school desks.

Alongside sweet lyrics, the music video meaningfully portrays the humorous and innocent images of graduating students, even as they prepare to face a crucial exam. They don't forget to live fully and enjoy every moment during the last days under the high school roof.

Lyrics:

''Childhood together gave us carefree days with countless dreams
Through many days, you and I shared ups and downs
In quiet moments, we released dreams into the sky
Oh friend, do you remember the countless memories, both joyful and sad, with me?

Enchanting childhood with many laughter
Many sorrows, but you and I had each other
Sweet loves still seem to be here
Oh memories, please stay in our hearts forever

Each familiar page with handwriting
Containing the dreams of innocent children
The long phoenix trees in the yard
Where we engraved a heart
Why now, when apart, does the tree look sadly confused?

Time, if you pass through the past
Remind our dear friends to keep a smile on their lips
So that in the future, when our hearts feel empty, we remember a dream
An innocent dream, the school years...

Chorus:
Even as time makes us grow and childhood becomes distant forever...
Even though now each of us is in a different place...
Our friendship willingly prays to stay deep in our hearts...
So that in the future, it's a companion stepping into the future...''

When mentioning schoolgirls, everyone immediately thinks of the image of the pure white áo dài, modest yet incredibly soft and gentle. The white áo dài is not just a piece of clothing; it becomes a keepsake for those who have passed through the innocent and pure school days.

The clever portrayal of the white áo dài is found in the song White Dress to School by composer Xuân Phương. Every time one remembers the school, the white dress fluttering in the wind, the sweet melodies of this song become unforgettable.

Lyrics:

''In a white dress, you come to school with a chorus of singing birds
Every breeze plays with your hair, memories of joy and sorrow overflow
The sunlight on the schoolyard remembers you, every page of ink carries the fragrance of nostalgia
Every window, every window, and the dreams of student years
White dress, white dress, white dress ...
You must be like a bit of clouds, a bit of lingering sunlight
Lightly pink, slowly walking, oh student!
Green hair shyly waits, swaying ...
White dress, white dress, white dress ...
You must be like a bit of clouds, a bit of lingering sunlight
Lightly pink, books held tightly in hand
Oh eyes, don't look away quickly, go on, go on ...''
