A poem in Vietnamese by Trần Thị Linh Nhân
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
going to school in the spring
tiny feet skipping
blades of grass dancing
playing with you kid
petals gently open and hid
intense scent of flowers
congenially carried by the wind
invite the butterflies
birds they glide and flies
in the sunrise tweet hello and hi
so lovely is the spring O!
skipping along with you kiddo.
MÙA XUÂN ĐẾN TRƯỜNG
Mùa xuân bé đến lớp
Rộn ràng bước chân xinh
Những khóm cỏ rung rinh
Như đùa vui cùng bé
Những bông hoa khe khẽ
Ngạt ngào tỏa hương thơm
Nhờ bạn gió đưa hương
Rủ rê từng đàn bướm
Những chú chim bay lượn
Líu lo trong nắng mai
Ôi mùa xuân đẹp thay!
Rộn ràng theo chân bé.
