'Life is like riding a bicycle.
To keep your balance, you must keep moving.'
( Albert Einstein )
For many years,
I have been traveling
To no where but mazing...
Making my life wearing and tiring...

On the banks of the river - Hiroko Taniyama
Kawa no hotori ni - Hiroko Taniyama
This song is one of the best songs of Japanese singer-songwriter Hiroko Taniyama in 1980s and it had made her famous with many fans including not only Japanese young and old generation but also international students at that old time in Japan like me :)
Once listening to this song, you can not forget her clear and high voice with the lyrics that flows like the river...

河のほとりに (セリフ入り) 谷山浩子 cover ☾ 歌ってみた

| 歌:谷山浩子 | 作詞:谷山 浩子 *** | 作曲:谷山 浩子 *** |
さざ波の かすかな 歌が きこえる
黙って このまま そばにいてください
悲しい思い出 流してしまうまで
ずっと昔から 知っていたような
そんな気がする あなたが 好きです
たくさんの時代が 水の面を
走りぬけていったのが
見えるような気がします
そして今 こんなに ちっぽけな
あなたと わたしを 河は
やっぱりやさしく つつんでくれるのです
河のほとりに ふたり 坐れば
たそがれ風さえ ふと たちどまる
黙って このまま そばにいてください
あなたの肩に もたれていたいのです
はじめから ずっと 知っていたような
そんな気がする あなたが 好きです

A Japanese Folk Tale - A Miracle Medicine
A Japanese Folk Tale - A Miracle Medicine
Treat others the way you want to be treated ( lesson of the story )
This is retelling of Japanese folktale of
NIHON MANGA - NAKAYOSHI NO MYOUYAKU
The mother-in-law always complained about her daughter-in-law to the villagers.
Whenever the daughter-in-law learned that her mom complained, she cried and visited the monk in the village temple for advice. But the monk only told her to go home and be patient.
Until one day, the daughter-in-law could not stand living with her mother-in-law any more. She visited the monk whining and asking him to make poison against her mother-in-law.
The monk told her to wait for a while. He went to his room and came back with poison.
He said, "Mix this poison medicine in the food at every meal and give it
to your mother-in-law, after two days she would become weak then die gradually.
But remember to pretend to be a good daughter-in-law to her! Do as she told you. After seven days, come to see me ".
The daughter-in-law followed the monk's instructions.
She mixed the medicine with rice three times a day in her mother-in-law's meals.
Also, she listened to what her mother-in-law told her to do.
However, after two days, the mother-in-law didn't show any weakness.
On the contrary, she seems to be happier and even healthier after seven days. Furthermore, she treated the daughter-in-law better than before.
The daughter-in-law thought that this is strange. So, she went to see the monk again.
She said, "Master, the poison does not quite work!", and asked him for stronger
poison. "Don't worry! there are some cases that you can stay awake before you die", said the monk. Next, he went to get a stronger poison for her. The daughter-in-law went home and mixed the stronger poison into the rice to serve her mother-in-law again.
The daughter-in-law was so touched by the kindness of the mother-in-law She felt guilty about her plan of trying to kill the mother-in-law. In a big hurry, she went to see the monk.
"Master, I feel so sorry for trying to kill my mom who has been very
nice to me recently. Is there any way to stop the poison?
The monk smiled and said, "The medicine that I gave to you was just arrowroot
flour instead of poison." Then he told the daughter-in-law, who was crying, that
if you want others to treat you well then you have to treat others well first!
From that time, the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law treated each other nicely
and they live together happily ever after.
THE END :)

Phôi pha - Hồng Nhung & Quang Dũng
( Source : chotngheemhat190 on Youtube )
This is my favorite duet song with the lyrics(shown below).
I like Hong Nhung performing this song as a duet with Quang Dung.
It's very emotional and touching...
Phôi pha (Trịnh Công Sơn)
Ôm lòng đêm
nhìn vầng trăng mới về
nhớ chân giang hồ
ôi phù du
từng tuổi xuân đã già
một ngày kia đến bờ
đời người như gió qua
Không còn ai
đường về ôi quá dài
những đêm xa người
chén rượu cay
một đời tôi uống hoài
trả lại từng tin vui
cho nhân gian chờ đợi
Về ngồi trong những ngày
nhìn từng hôm nắng ngời
nhìn từng khi mưa bay
có những ai xa đời quay về lại
về lại nơi cuối trời
làm mây trôi
Thôi về đi
đường trần đâu có gì
tóc xanh mấy mùa
có nhiều khi
từ vườn khuya bước về
bàn chân ai rất nhẹ
tựa hồn những năm xưa.
