Sacred land
(Respectfully pay respect to the souls of 10 female Youth Volunteers)
at the intersection, Dong Loc)
The bombs of the past are gone.
Bomb craters are still there, ashes buried in black grass
Ten bright stars shine
The golden star at the grave, the bright star at night in the sky.
I come back to see the smile again
Hair smells like soapberry, innocent youth
I thought that day called me
Jokes, mischief, and road-clearing hoeing
Like a love song
The letter is still hidden, the lover is waiting.
Ten young girls in the past
Now the flowers have just bloomed
Tombstone with flowers on all four sides
Orchids, sweet night-scented chestnut flowers
Pine hill with three high hills
Light ten candles and stick them in the sacred ground...
