English version: Mùi Qúy Đan Vy
Memories so sweet and good
Fill my heart and mind
Memories of pleasant things past
Help to carry me when life's unkind
These remembrances soften
And touch my every being
When the world seems too cruel
Memories keep me from fleeing
I can remember the good times
Whenver the path seems bleak
And memories will comfort me
Eventhough my spirit is weak
Armed with fond memories
To reassure my soul
I feel that I am capable
Of facing the world more bold
So, when the world's against you
And you feel quite in despair
Just remember when you can turn
For memories will always be there
