Trinh Cong Son in “Xin Mặt Trời Ngủ Yên” [ Xin Mat Troi Ngu Yen = Please sleep .. sleep... sleep deeply the Sun ] seems like an unrealistic call or petition to the world since the Sun in the center of our galaxy is the most dynamic and moving entity which nuclear fusion reaction happening continuously and relentlessly. The composer introduces the image of the Sun to reflect the extreme dynamics, the ultimate unlimited energy, the overheated boiling state and the extreme strain of the Vietnamese people experienced over prolonged time period of the Vietnam war. Every Vietnamese hopes to see a day to go by peacefully since every moment of time, the growing rosy minded youth have been thrown in the war, worn out and varnished in certain hills of the country. The composer represents for the university students, the intelligent of the country. They, equipped with a highest summit of smartness residing scatteringly in the capital Saigon of the South Vietnam, feel incompetent at the war. They fill their emptiness themselves with uncertain philosophies. Eventually, they join the rest of the people of Vietnam to pray and wish for the Sun to calm down and to go to sleep, sleep, and sleep … They hope that the day of the end of the Vietnam war is coming and surprisingly always believe the bright future of the country when the Vietnam war is over.
