A poem in Vietnamese by Thanh Dang
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
You don’t have to say you are beautiful
You don’t have to say you smell great
Stunning the world with your dreams
You ring blooming, more substantial than any
Church bell
HOA
Em không cần nói em đẹp
Em không cần nói em thơm
Hốt nhiên trời đất đầy thơ mộng
Em nở
Âm dày hơn tiếng chuông
