Trouble of mind
poem by THEPHONG.
I' m troubled when you are by my side
It's a good thing - then I don'w feel any sadness
I feel as young as an eighteen year old boy
When I look at myself in your bright eyes
You're off today, I'm alone in this highland
Evrything is mute, nor a second is heard, my soul is following you
I only hope there will be moments you think of me
I know, I know, you' re just a plain girl
But I cannot put out of my mind
Late noon, the car moves up the slope
I' m standing here, feeling so miserably unhappy
You've gone, what will the future hold for us
When you 're with me I forget all, all, all
I forget the wretched land which is ours
I forget all, all, all ?..
I't is raining
it's raining hard and strong
I'm sleeping soundly
O my girl
now that you're over nineteen.[]
