A poem for kids in Vietnamese by Nguyễn Lãm Thắng
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
– Swimming in the sea
There’s no salt to see
And you say to me
Salt is from the sea
– But as the sun sets
Light and seawater met
Water left with the light
Only salt is left in sight.

Muối
– Bé đi tắm biển
Nào thấy muối đâu
Sao bảo là muối
Lấy từ biển sâu.
– Nhưng rồi triều lên
Tràn vào đồng nắng
Nước bay về trời
Là còn muối trắng.
