TẾT LẠI VỀ
Rải thơ giữa cõi thiên nhiên
Thu trong khóe mắt nắng nghiêng đợi chờ
Bánh chưng bánh tét vần thơ
Làng xưa lối cũ đò quê xế chiều,
Tử-sinh phách lạc hồn xiêu
Hơ lòng rượu đắng đìu hiu chất chồng
Tha hương lạnh buốt chiều đông
Tết về cô quạnh bếp hồng vắng ai?
Thở sâu, cười cõi bồng lai!
Nhận chân tài sắc tàn phai héo mòn
Đi-về sống-chết cỏn con
Gia-tài di-sản vàng son hạnh lành!
Mắt xưa sâu rộng tinh anh
Bình tâm tĩnh lặng long lanh ánh vàng!
ONCE AGAIN, THE LUNAR YEAR IS COMING
Spreading poetry in nature
Hoarding in the depth of the eyes the sun’s waited for rays
The Chưng and Tét cakes in the lunar New Year are so rhymes
Our ancient village, the old boat also still waiting in the sunset’s ray.
Why are so many of us afraid of Life and Death?
Just warming our hearts with these dark wines
Living in a foreign land, it’s freezing cold in the winter afternoon
And Lunar New Year's holiday kitchen is so empty?
Taking deep breathing, laughing at this earthly realm!
Realizing that our beauty, prestige, and fame are fading
Coming and going, life and death are as beautiful as a child
Our heritage, culture, and way of life is as golden as our kind virtues
The ancient eyes are as wide and wise as the beginning
Our peaceful heart is calm, at ease—as glitter as the truth.
