AWAKE THE SPRING LAI THI VIET HA We are listening to the breath of Spring On the cornfield, girls are waiting Seeds of rice sprouting mother's hands fluttering Wind gently swaying on the water surface of the river Drops of sweat falling in the middle of winter Footsteps walking on the field without hesitation Carrying a life of difficulties spreading Still waiting for a beautiful and full Spring For Spring passionate moments Lighting the fire of faith through the hard season Awakening Spring returning naturally hurried Calling Spring returning brilliant colors of flowers!

VÓ CÂU GÕ NHỊP LƯƠNG ĐÌNH KHOA Đá mòn, chân cứng dặm khơi Mùa Xuân gõ nhịp trên đồi mây bay Ngỡ là vó ngựa đâu đây Hóa ra gió cuốn lay đầy ngàn lau Lay rừng mận trắng xôn xao Cánh hoa rụng xuống, đậu vào súng xanh Lưng đèo dốc dựng chênh vênh Con đem nỗi nhớ gửi đường tuần tra Mẹ ơi, Tết chẳng về nhà Bếp hồng mẹ nhóm, mặn mà khói quê Một mai theo gót Xuân về Con mang nắng ấm mùa che hiên nhà...
Giờ này biên giới bao la Vó câu gõ nhịp...
bài ca giữ đường.

MOTHER'S AGE VIÊN NGUYỆT ÁI Today Spring is brilliant I lead mother to the village communal house Mother's smile hides in the empty space sun dances with mother's shadow Spring fragrant cheeks full of hills and forests Mother's hair wrapped in sun and rain Mother's life, the back is not straight, hard work full of bottles, heavy loads soaked in sweat Simple like field grass like rice flowers fragrant with mud like folk songs leaning towards sadness...
still sweet lullaby for children in poverty and desolation Young and old quickly age chases after Mother looks at the sky bewildered at sunset, just startled, it's already dark This spring mother wears a brocade shirt Red as the color of betel lips White fibers cover the head Gently find my hand...
mother holds Tet, blending mother and child's shadows...
