Snow falling white birch forest
Having flown around the world,
I am watching now, snow falling
on white birch forest in Poland
I am missing only sunshine of Jeju city
There is nothing more precious present than sunshine
Sunshine of autumn of Jeju city is gorgeous
You’ll never know how much I love sunshine
Nothing can make me happy when skies are gray
I am longing for the sun while watching snow falling
on white birch forest in Poland
Snowflakes are falling steadily on snow-covered birch trees
My friend, KIEU BICH HAU
Who are you?
I do care about you
I have been searching beautiful value in yourself
I feel intimacy, care you and share activity
My friend, KIEU BICH HAU
You reveal me to the world,
What is in my mind
What do I do
Through our friendship,
World understand me
A man is like an island,
Like our life to be that of an island
Trees and birds,
Friends of an island
A man without friends is a devastated Island
An island without spring water and trees
My dearest friend, KIEU BICH HAU
Make birds take a rest through your kindness
You are my trees and spring water
Through mutual caring, intimacy, shared activity
We became friends
My dearest friend, KIEU BICH HAU
