📖 Introduction
The Ferrygirl’s Story is an original cinematic folk ballad inspired by the timeless spirit of Vietnamese ca dao.
It tells the story of a young ferrygirl who quietly rows the man she loves across a countryside river as he leaves to fulfill his duty. Neither realizes it will be their final farewell.
Unknown to him, she is carrying their unborn child.
He never returns.
Years pass…
She raises their daughter alone, continues rowing the same ferry, and faithfully keeps a promise that time cannot erase.
Many years later, their daughter tells her mother’s story so that a love defined by devotion, sacrifice, and hope will never be forgotten.
🌾 Story Behind The Song
Some stories are never written in history books.
They remain beside quiet rivers, old wooden ferries, and in the hearts of those who continue remembering.
The Ferrygirl’s Story is not about one country or one particular war.
It is a universal story of love interrupted by duty, of a mother who waited with unwavering faith, and of a daughter who carried her mother’s story into the next generation.
Inspired by the poetic spirit of Vietnamese ca dao, the song reminds us that rivers never stop flowing, and true love never truly disappears.
It lives on in memory, in hope, and in every story that is lovingly retold.
