1. The Love Waterfall of Sa Pa
This place is a picturesque scene
Endless green mountains, as if in a dream
Endless forests, so poetic and serene
The Love Waterfall waits for the one to come
The trees are green, the water sparkling in the sun
The clouds drift, calling the winds that hum
No matter how far apart we may be
Our homeland's warmth is impossible to erase
A sudden pang of nostalgia hits
Longing for someone far away, lost in time
A thousand miles apart, so far it seems
But still, we return to this place, where the snow and mist call
Sitting here, intoxicated by the moment
My heart, in love with this dream I yearn
My soul surges, overwhelmed with emotion
As the tears quietly flow into my heart
A longing life, endlessly passionate
Like flowers and butterflies, united forever
A beautiful love that was meant to be
Now like a river flowing, I gaze in wonder
The Love Waterfall, so poetic
Captures the soul of travelers, leaving them in awe
The water plays a melody, sweet and clear
Making those far away, lost in a dream of Sa Pa!

2. Sa Pa... The Snowy Season
Every year, at this time,
Snow falls, blanketing Sa Pa's sky
The wind drifts, snowflakes flutter by
Travelers arrive, as if stepping into a fairy realm.
The clouds cover Hoang Lien's peak
The mist spreads across all of Sa Pa
Listen to a love song
In the cold, rainy night, longing fills the air.
Every evening, as the sun fades... at dusk...
The lonely room, the bed, restless thoughts of someone
Memories of the mountain girl, with doe eyes
From long ago, still haunting the winter night.
Her rosy lips, cheeks so pink
Skin as white as snow, like a wildflower
In the quiet night, the sound of T...Rung...
The Cloud Bridge sings a tune with the rain and forest's hum.
The church bell rings softly
Faintly heard in the breeze... the moon just rising
Surprised, as if in a fairyland
Such a poetic scene, in Sa Pa's enchanted world.
Poem by: Đỗ Thai


3. Sa Pa Travel
Travel through the scenic Sa Pa!
The winding paths, truly a beautiful sight
The mountains and forests with drifting clouds!
The stilt houses peeking over the hill slopes.
The stream babbles, birds sing with delight!
The terraced rice fields of the village folk
Tourists from all directions flock together!
Come and behold Sa Pa’s enchanting views
Clouds stretching beneath our feet!
Fansipan, the roof of Indochina, stands majestic
The sounds of the bamboo flute fill the air!
Inviting travelers from all places to gather
Sa Pa, with its breathtaking landscape!
Nature’s beauty overflowing with poetic charm.

4. Sa Pa
Sa Pa, a land of breathtaking beauty!
The air is cool, with clouds weaving through the sky.
As the evening falls, a gentle rain drifts down.
We walk side by side, entranced by the magical scene.
Nature's grandeur captivates the soul,
The winds carry the melody of the bamboo flute through the hills.
The love market beckons, we’re caught in its charm,
The sound of the flute echoes across the mountains, full of joy!
Sweet peaches, ripe plums so delightful,
Bamboo rice and Mán pork, oh, how wonderful!
As we leave, a feeling of longing lingers,
The scenery stays with us, and our hearts are filled with love!
Poem by: Liên Phạm


5. Winter in Sa Pa
Winter has come to the town of Sa Pa!
Snow falls, blanketing the landscape like Europe.
The mist envelops everything, turning it all white!
Majestic nature, with snow covering everything.
The view of mountains and sky is breathtaking!
The scenery looks like a Western winter, mesmerizing all who see it.
In my heart, excitement stirs!
Gazing at the snow, my soul drifts into a dream.
Emotions overflow as I stand lost in awe.
Sa Pa, with its stunning landscape, is a sight to behold!
Come and admire the pristine white snow on the hills.
Marvel at the winter that spreads throughout the land!
The European winter is alive in Sa Pa.


6. Afternoon in Sa Pa
As the afternoon falls, mist blankets Sa Pa.
The mountains twist and hum with the song of the thousand streams.
The Gate of Heaven stands like a flower, its petals kissed by the wind.
Leaves shimmer, swirling with the poet's thoughts...
The Dragon's Jaw stands, silent in its stone form.
The Lam Garden releases smoke, and the pale moon watches over the slopes.
The cool evening air carries the last rays of the sun.
The small village, solitary, is left to the care of an old mother.
The Silver Falls roars, like a blooming flower in the wild.
The sound echoes, stirring something deep within me.
The scenery intoxicates, inspiring verses of poetry.
In the quiet of the evening, I sip from my cup of dreams.
The Love Market holds its final gathering, with the Mong flute playing a song of reunion.
The Mường Hoa stream smiles brightly, its water sparkling like joy.
We walk hand in hand, lost in the magic of Sa Pa.


7. Sa Pa, A Moment of Enchantment
Sa Pa, where the white clouds linger lazily.
They capture the traveler’s feet, lost in awe, reluctant to leave.
A fleeting moment, a feeling of bliss,
Where a lifetime of fate is woven with the embrace of love.
The clouds dance, drifting through an endless expanse of silence.
Grass and stones join together in a soft, pink embrace, drifting on the breeze.
The wind carries drops of rain, short and long, as if whispering secrets.
The mist dissipates, revealing the horizon, an unfolding dream.
Is it real, or is it just a waking dream?
Words are borrowed, brush strokes painted, as I sketch the scene in my mind.
Soft smoke rises, flowing like a veil, hiding a world of mysteries.
In this moment, Sa Pa is a realm of illusions, where the heart is sculpted by its beauty.


8. The Misty Town
I return once again to the land of Sa Pa.
The distant town, cloaked in mist at the border,
Nature’s timeless beauty lingers in my heart,
Impressions that have not faded, forever to seek.
The church still stands, the Hoang Lien hotel?
The stone steps leading to the Sa Pa market,
Time may erase everything, but the memories remain,
The pine trees whisper, and the evening twilight falls gently.
Silver Falls, Cloud Bridge, the ancient stones,
All seem to belong to a forgotten fairytale,
The Sa Pa market, silent under the night’s veil,
The figure in black, glimpsed in the distance, so still.
The sounds of the love market, tender melodies echoing,
Feet lost in the maze of this mythical place,
Exchanging warm embraces of affection,
Come morning, we return to our beloved village.
The old peach orchard on the misty slopes,
The plum blossoms, pale, swaying with the breeze,
The wooden houses, buffaloes grazing quietly,
The distant village bathed in the sun's golden rays.
Where are you, my beloved, at the Hoang Lien hotel?
Your long hair flows with the wind’s call,
Your waist, so slender, under the moon’s soft light,
Gone now, but where can I find you again?
At night, Sa Pa only holds the glow of colored lights,
The luxury hotels, the distant villages left behind,
The moon of old has long since passed,
But the misty town remains, as beautiful as ever.


9. Missing Sa Pa
Sa Pa, with its captivating beauty,
Golden sunlight and a gentle breeze, it stirs the soul.
The towering mountains, bathed in love,
The Love Market, where couples drift together at dawn and dusk.
Hand in hand, we dance and sing the night away,
The sound of the flute and the horn, capturing hearts.
The majestic Ham Rong, with its vibrant scenery,
Fragrant flowers bloom, as clouds surround us in joy.
Following the river that stretches far,
To the mystical Hang Tien, where the Three Sisters shine with grace.
Leaving, yet forever etched in memory,
Sa Pa, a place of beauty that lingers in verse.

10. Sending Sunshine to You
I remember this season in Sa Pa...
The mist spreads, drifting softly through the night,
The Hoang Lien mountains hidden under clouds,
The peak of Fansipan, a pale white blur...
Is it cold in our hometown, my dear?
Does the drizzle fall every night?
Is the northeast wind blowing strong?
The chill stings, and the heart grows colder.
I recall sitting by the warm fire...
The heat of the flame fighting the night’s cold,
We would look at each other, sharing our thoughts,
While the dark sky stretched endlessly outside.
I’m sending you a little bit of golden sunlight,
And a breeze from the sea, wide and free,
So that you may feel warmth where you are.
My heart aches for you... lost in dreams.
Poem: Đỗ Thái.
