Oh, Mountain! Oh, Mountain!

Oh, mountain! Oh, mountain!
How giant and majestic you are
In thou, I see an old but a stern man
Standing tall, holding the values conquered in life
Like the trees and stones, you hold,
You make me feel timid
From you, I learned there is no such thing which can quench my soul as you can
From you, I learned life is beyond prejudice and inhibitions
Oh, mountain! Oh, mountain!
You make me feel so small but yet so strong that I could see the sunshine beyond.
From you, I learned a few things that hold still in life.
The way you stand alone amidst rain, snow, and sunshine
Looking at you sometimes I fail to think about how you manage to engulf us in your arms.
From the river which flows from you narrate the stories of your pride.
They teach us to move on and to never stand by fright.
In you I see an old man losing the teeth like the landslide.
Oh, mountain! Oh, mountain!
Engulf me in your arms so that I may never lose these sights.
