Mai Ta Ve is also the name of a famous song by musician Ngo Tin, with a poignant melody: "Mai ta ve qua con pho xua. Waiting for the sun to rise high, nurturing the color of memories. A time of dreamy moonlit days of old. A sky of longing, when will it ever cease...".
In each lyric, listeners recognize the feelings of a child far away from home, still yearning for his homeland, for the coastal town of his childhood full of memories.
