MARCH UNVEILS!
Poem by: Hoàng Minh Tuấn
Hanoi, March 21, 2018
March arrives, gentle sunlight softly falls,
Sowing golden seeds on the white Silk Cotton flowers,
Hanoi marks the transitional season,
Spring is about to pass, anticipating the arrival of Summer.
March arrives, villages warmly embrace,
Red brightens the sky, the color of fresh Rice flowers
Suburban neighborhoods echo with laughter,
Welcoming a season of new planting.
March arrives, whose house has Pomelo flowers,
Youthful moon cheers down from the house's eaves,
Love exchanged through the scent of Pomelo guides,
Indulging in intoxication, in blissful ecstasy.
March arrives, Ban flowers in the Northwest,
Proudly display amidst the Capital,
The color purple of Ban flowers, the color awaiting,
The deep red, pure or elegant maiden...
March arrives, Xoan flowers blossom quietly,
Spreading a gentle fragrance in the spring air,
White Xoan flowers with a hint of lilac,
Encasing our childhood in that moment.
March arrives, sometimes the wind turns,
Cold Bân lady occasionally returns,
Not lingering, but enough to shiver,
To forever remember March, the chilling sky!
March arrives, countless wishes accompany,
Together bound with us, intertwined with us,
So that one day, if we must part,
We will forever remember March in Hanoi!
