I remember you have wonderful eyes.
Your eyes made me trust you.
All of them in the class were very much younger than me.
However, I was young too in your class
because I was a stranger and a new student .
Almost everything was new to me because I was an alien.
There was a new place and the clear blue sky refreshed me.
I was nervous as an alien but it made me feel free.
Sometimes I felt lonely, but I think the loneliness made me stronger.
It was a wonderful experience of my life.

I remember you have wonderful eyes.
Your eyes made me trust you.
Others in the class were much younger than me.
However, I was young too.
Because I was a stranger
and a new part of you
because I was an alien
almost everything was new.
There was a new place and the clear blue sky
and the clear blue sky refreshed me.
I was nervous as an alien
but it made me feel free.
Because I was a stranger
and a new part of you
because I was an alien
almost everything was new.
Sometimes I felt lonely,
but I think the loneliness
only made me stronger.
It was a wonderful experience.
Because I was a stranger
and a new part of you
because I was an alien
almost everything was new.

I remember a young teacher
who was strict with his students
and a nice young man.
He was extremely interested
in the lifestyles of ethnic peoples
in Vietnam.
He was young and handsome
and was strange to me
when he came to the class.
He would be the very first
foreigner I had ever met
until that time.
I was a little bit scared
of his tall and thin body.
Though, he taught us for a year,
many of us liked the way
he taught us and the way he asked
us to do the tasks.
He was 5 years older
so what he was interested in
was exactly what we were.
Specially visiting the villages
of minority ethnice peoples
in Langbian mountain.
We had some good trips together
though we didn't really
talk very much.
He was in many pictures
he was not very interested
in posing for pictures.
From the bottom of my heart,
I had many things to regret
about the relationship with him.
I wish that I had spoken English
better at that time,
so I could easily communicate with him.
I wish I had understood
what he was feeling in another country,
so I would spend more time with him
to share his homesickness
and introduce him more
about Dalat and Vietnam.
And now, I wish he would come back,
come back to Dalat
maybe one day.
We will be able
to live the days together,
to live these old days again.
