FLY WITH ME
(author: NGUYEN BINH PHUONG)
The sun of Sa Dec leads me to Sa Dec,
walking with you in fresh flowers and fragrant fruits,
each step spreading fragrance and color.
And then the Northern melancholy
turned into the warm alluvium of the Tien River,
the round bunch of longan turned into a fairy thought,
I turned into a bunch of water hyacinth floating along with the vọng cổ verse,
the vọng cổ verse you sang was as sad as a sinking cloud.
Where do the flocks of birds
carrying sweet dreams
go? Where do the ripe fruit seasons in the secret garden go?
Where do I know when I am away from you,
when the handshake has become a lingering grip?
You are pure, your smile is trusting,
your eyes are gentle, filling all the gaps.
You are almost like a pink lotus,
I am far away, like a promise
between two banks of rippling waves, a sunset.
Sa Dec wind, there is the green sound of
sky bells Sa Dec is absent-minded
Sa Dec trees bend and flap their wings
in the golden afternoon, you fly with me...

HAI PHONG GREEN RHYTHM
(author: BUI THU HANG)
The wind carries the scent deep into the heart of mother earth,
so every street corner is filled with nostalgia.
The painter leans against the dragon mountain.
The dragon's stroke burns on the white canvas.
The feeling of your hands sprouting
The red-robed bridge twists and bares the waves
The golden season fills the jade cup
Five gates, seven passionate colors
The pen strokes sublimate in the intoxicating music.
The rice grains of the countryside turn into fragrant xoan.
The legendary genetic transformation process multiplies
. I am drawing the ideas that my heart tells me to follow
, not the things people sing about.
The sensitive city
has changed the color of the work
since the stormy decade.
The steps of the ancestors keep burning the heartbeat like a fire pan.
The love for the homeland is always the same.
Ripe Autumn
Like a red snapper swimming in the blue sky
Hai Phong is forever young, each street has a green rhythm.

REFLECTION OF UPS AND DOWNS
(author: PHAN HOANG)
I don't know when the water tree by the lake started.
What traces of historical storms remain?
The leaning tree reflects in the lake's mirror
, waving goodbye to the clouds of ups and downs in the world.
The green serenity clings tightly to the source of the legendary mountains and rivers.

JUST LIVE
(author: Musician TRAN TIEN)
Just keep living like that
Sadness, joy, bitterness in life
Winning and losing, sometimes alive, sometimes dead
Just keep living like
that Just keep life going out to sea
Turning the waves to a peaceful place
Just keep going towards the sun
Overcoming the dark days
Just keep going towards the vastness
Although the future is not waiting
Just keep going towards the sun
Just keep living like that!

CAT BA FULL OF LOVE
(author: DINH THUONG)
It's not by chance that Cat Ba suddenly had an early rain.
What kind of luck is it that I get to sit behind your wheel?
A few hundred meters, I can walk to the official residence.
The slope isn't high, why do I think it's the way to heaven?
Ngoc Island now firmly moves forward.
Neat planning, full of green.
The sea is still wide all year round, embracing the mountains.
The mountains are still high and green for the great sea to look towards.
Knowing that your diligence and friendliness are my duty,
visitors still feel moved to send their love.
Listening to the legend of the Ladies, receiving from you a sincere smile,
I suddenly understand more about the reason for the whispering of the waves.
Are you a descendant of the fairy who dropped her clogs,
making the love story of Cat Co more captivating to the world?
Oh, Cat Ba land, famous for its heritage,
why do you honor nature but forget the human element!?
The past few months have been a time of concern for development and conservation.
Loving our homeland island is like loving life itself.
Deep in the hearts of every islander, the thought
of building a paradise with Ha Long is still overflowing.
Oh my sister Cat Ba, the one I cherish the most.
That sudden early rain is like a key to unlock my longing.
Wherever I go, wherever I return, I still remember Cat Ba, in my heart I always have full love!
