1. WELCOMING THE DAWN
Every morning as dawn breaks
From the depths of our hearts we know much love
The glorious light of the sun
Life resembles a heavenly paradise full of happiness
A new day arrives, our hearts are excited
The birds sing joyfully in our hearts
The fragrance intoxicates our innocent souls
A new day brings so much happiness
The river, sometimes clear, sometimes murky
A lifetime, sometimes humble, sometimes glorious
Live so there's meaning and love
To greet each dawn with serenity
Live a simple life
So we may have countless joys
As we wake up to the sun each morning
Another day filled with happiness.

2. Whisper of the Wind
The dawn illuminates the green forest
The wind whispers, swaying the rubber tree branches
The sun disperses the mist
Who in the small village is still asleep?
Child, sleep with grandma
Mom is still teaching at the distant school, not yet back
Skipping joyfully in the rural fields
There are flocks of swallows flying back here
Mom is diligent every day
Planning lessons by the lamp under the trees
Dad guards through day and night
Taking care of household and community chores together
Three months of rest during the lotus season
The yellow daisies have bloomed, welcoming the Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns
Mom and child, working diligently
Preparing meticulously for the upcoming school opening day
Love the profession, love the enthusiastic children
Household and community tasks are done without complaint
Child, sleep well
Complete your tasks joyfully, mom will return.

3. HẠ LONG SUNRISE
Halong, oh Halong! The sunrise is stunning
The golden rays erase the night
The sea waves gently embrace the shore
The golden sand still sleeps peacefully
The sea by the shore embraces for generations
Hear the sea with each wave hitting the shore
The sea by the shore still sings, waiting
Still yearning for each small wave
The sunrise plays on the grass
Shining on each sparkling wave
In the autumn morning before the sunrise
Seeing how beautiful our homeland sea is
The sun stretches over the rocky shore
Dispelling the white mist along the coast
Standing before the sea, it's poetic
The gentle sea is so tranquil
Boats sail out to sea to welcome more fish
For tomorrow, life will be abundant
The beautiful sun and clouds greet Halong
Welcoming the new day.

4. SUBURBAN DAWN
Waking up to the sound of cicadas' song
In the garden, the front yard bathed in golden sunlight
The flamboyant blooms in the early summer
Drinking hot coffee, melting away in solitude
The countryside morning is peaceful
The village garden, a picturesque scene with flowers
So many hardships have passed by
Returning to the quiet countryside is also a joy
Life's stream keeps flowing
Hoping to always be smiling peacefully
We return to tend to the orchid garden
Green, yellow, purple, red overflow around us
The city always wants to move away
Returning to the countryside, happy in old age
Around us, there are good friends
Drinking tea, sipping wine like celestial beings in the mortal world
Accepting simple life
Garden, trees, ponds, fish without fuss
No need for distinctions, no need for luxury
Humble huts, mansions, all lights out alike.

5. WELCOMING THE DAWN
Greeting the dawn of a new day,
With birds chirping their joyful song,
Welcoming the golden rays,
My soul brims with cheer.
The river flows gently and serene,
Life's rhythm ascends anew,
My soul in a dreamy scene,
Longing for love to ensue.

6. RISING SUN!
In the early morning as dawn awakes,
The birds chirp, filling the garden with sound,
Now, it's the month of March,
With myriad flowers displaying their hues.
All flowers exude a fragrant scent,
Perhaps we're not happy,
The pandemic, we believe, will be pushed back,
For our country has never failed.
Victorious over enemies, our history shines forever,
Every March, campaigns pass by,
The bright red rice flowers heralding victory,
We conquer the pandemic, just as we conquer foes.

7. DAWN OVER MY HOMELAND
Reaching out to grasp the golden sunlight on the grass,
My hair gently dances in the breeze,
Lost in reverie,
My motherland changes with every passing hour.
The 'White' path of childhood dreams,
Running through the village under the pouring sun,
Two trips to school every day,
Seeing my aged mother, covered in sweat, fills me with pity.
The memories of days when father was away,
The road to school, the absence of rides,
Hurrying with friends to the gate,
Reciting old lessons at the school entrance.
A bit of nostalgia for those days,
The dawn now rises within me,
Loving the homeland, a humble wish,
Hoping 'Someone' far away keeps their promise.
The truth of the countryside remains fragrant,
The scent of hometown rice deeply ingrained,
The exotic land brimming with allure.
Just hoping (that place) won't leave the love of the homeland...???

8. SUNRISE
As dawn breaks, we wake
A cool breeze gently blows
The sun smiles brightly
Today's sky is truly beautiful
As dawn breaks, we wake
The grass and trees are lush green
Birds sing joyfully around
Another day of happiness
As dawn breaks, we wake
Life's energy fills the air
We long for peace and tranquility
Gold and silver are not needed much
As dawn breaks, we wake
We are still ourselves
Love is boundless
In our warm home
As dawn breaks, we wake
We live through another day
With our family, joy abounds
We see life's happiness
And life is like this
Like a river flowing
Though sometimes murky, sometimes clear
In the stream of life, forward and backward.

9. SUNRISE BY HOAN KIEM LAKE
The breeze ruffles the surface of the lake
Who awaits the rising sun, who gazes upon whom
The golden light casts its glow over the long street
The scent of milk flowers intoxicates the heart.
Hanoi, why is today so busy ...!
Remembering you is my truth
The affection since those days is so rich
The longing deepens with each passing day ...
The scent of milk flowers overwhelms the soul
The intense nostalgia as autumn passes fleetingly
By Hoan Kiem Lake, those days were blissful
Standing alone by The Huc Bridge!
Who made promises to whom! Where has autumn gone
The fragrance of daisy flowers fills the air
Leaving one's heart in a vague longing
Cold autumn nights, misty memories ... longing!

10. WELCOMING THE SUNRISE
The dawn illuminates expansively
The sky opens up with the rising sun
A flock of birds chirps a welcoming song
The Indian almond trees bloom red flowers on high branches.
A new day has arrived
Embrace it with overflowing love
Hold hands and step forward on the path
The future is wide open with deep affection
Open your heart, let love spread
Together, steadfastly overcome thousands of difficulties
Nothing can stop us
Embrace and accept without hesitation
Poetry by: Kim Thanh
