I Write For My Daughter

 

1

 

My April's daughter has many dreams of us

Twenties are radiant just as the pink lotus

Good-natured, bright heart, black-eyed truly

Not a little dust of life mother's heart worry

 

2

 

Step by step you enter life you'll discover

So many different things you're a dreamer

Smooth sailing downwind and luckily

Just as life is changed just you worry

 

3

 

Feelings of joy and sadness need to be filtered

The joy of sharing a fresh life of the dreamer

The sadness you ponder and should let go

You should do good things to people know

 

4

 

The sincere feeling you always lead people

Just as your heart is known to love people

You are careful with your every word truly

Let's cherish the love, don't be lazy really

 

5

 

Caring, considering, you surpass difficulties

We're walking together for the future really

Youth strive not to be distracted, you know

Advantage of accumulated time right now

 

6

 

Just unwavering faith and aspiration all-day

Just you are serious and diligent day by day

Life skills are more stable and more decently

Just knowledge is cultivated more diligently

 

7

 

Full of happiness, you know how living

You give and receive many blessings

As you treat other people so reasonably

Keep filial piety you will progress quickly

 

8

 

April birthday of my mother's daughter

Bright and cheerful as the sky is bluer

Welcoming the mothership all our life

As flowers bloom you get a good life.

This City I Love

 

1

 

Quiet soul listening to the breath of the city

I love the city every day, I love really

I live and I feel many strange things

Classic, modern, wonderful interesting

 

2

 

The city, I go still not over yet street, never

Cannot know all the interesting corners

In harmony city's rhythm, living and

Understanding the workers of this land

 

3

 

The city isn't discriminatory, no prejudice, so true

The measure of behavior is the golden rule

Love is to be friends, need is to help,

Seeing right is to protect, support, help

 

4

 

Like Mother of Ban Co, hiding revolutionaries

Where the workers are always diligent, really

As resilient as the Can Giuoc warriors

Love the country like the echo of Do Chieu, ever

 

5

 

The city of romantic folk songs, the rhythm echo

A hundred years with the sound of the zither echo

Sadness lingers on the river, indeed

The sweet scent of milk flowers spreads

 

6

 

in the afternoon sunset, the city I love

Pure white shirt after school, hope

On the streets, twinkling lights

with hope lighting up life

 

7

 

Here and there seem to be full of memories

Saigon, I remember, forever love, I love truly

Sixty years growing up together in the city

Parents' merits are many months, really

 

8

 

My city is civilized and modern, always

Warm affection is everywhere, as always

Good land lights up many ambitions

Aspiration to dedicate a good life, actions
