1. Come In: Knock, Knock, Knock!
Knock, knock, knock!
Who's there
I am a rabbit
If it's a rabbit
Show me your ears
Knock, knock, knock!
Who's there
I am a deer
If it's a deer
Show me your antlers
Knock, knock, knock!
Who's there
I am the wind
If it's the wind
Please come in
Lift your legs high
Through the middle door.
Together arrange
Welcoming the rising moon
Cooling fan
Sea breeze
Flower and leaf cheers
Pushing the boat's sail
Traveling everywhere
Doing good work.
2. Come Down Here to Play
The Mid-Autumn Moon smiles
Rising above the grassy hill
Ponds and lakes, big and small
All flooded with moonlight!
The moon plays, waves roll
Golden and silver it scatters
The moon blows a cool breeze
Blanketing the village with silk
The countryside becomes dreamy
Beautiful as in legends
Frogs call:
– Beautiful moon!
Crickets call:
– Beautiful moon!
Everyone calls:
– Beautiful moon!
Come down here to play!
The Mid-Autumn Moon agrees
Joins the lantern parade
Mr. Moonlight's lantern steps
Mr. Starlight's lantern follows
Everyone cheers in joy
Gliding through the bright moonlit sky!
3. The Firefly
The sun behind the mountain
Darkness spreads slowly
Mr. Firefly is diligent
Lighting the lantern to guard...
With the cool breeze
He walks so gently
Walking throughout the night
Caring for those asleep
The bamboo edge sways
Peaceful sleep for Little Stork
A flock of young birds
Sleeping in the tree soundly
The pond stays calm
Cleaning and sleeping soundly
A little Threadbird
Lies there, dreaming
Big sister Heron says:
“Lullaby, oh lullaby!
Oh, my little one
Sleep well, my dear!
Slash the enemy father
Disturb the children's dreams!
Kill the Silk Spinner, unravel the thread
Kill the Bee for its honey!”
By the river, Aunt Vạc
Quietly catches shrimp
Next to Venus
Shimmering at the bottom of the water
Step by step, step by step
Waving the lantern
Mr. Firefly turns in circles
Like a star blooming
Like a star shining bright
Falling in the orange orchard
Falling along the quince edge
Orchards of areca palms, banana trees
Where is the dusty bag of the hens?
Crowing brightly towards the east
Turn off the lantern
Mr. Firefly retreats to rest.
4. The Baby Turtle
Waking up, the sky not yet bright
Mother turtle advises her little one:
My child, hurry and run
Go buy some fruits!
The little turtle finds it strange
When arriving at the store
Sees a sign hung horizontally:
“Noon break, fifty minutes”
Looking up, the harsh sun
Has risen to the top of the head
Realizing its journey has been long
Gets distracted playing along the street
The little turtle feels so miserable
Knowing mother is waiting and watching
The little turtle runs quickly
Back home to reassure its mother.
5. The Red Fruit
Ripe red fruits
Sing under the morning sun
Clusters of mismatched fruits
Smile in the new sunlight
A flock of birds arrives
Raise their voices in joy:
“Oh wow! The harvest season
This year is exceptionally good!”
6. Happy Bamboo, Happy Laughter
Joyful bamboo, laughter abounds
Sparrows chirp, tweet, tweet!
Happy birds, giggles heard
Chirping, chirping, cheerful song
Playful wind, laughter in the pines
Through the tall pine trees it soars!
Happy flowers, laughter in bloom
On branches, pure white!
Blazing fire, joyous flames
Blazing in the hearth!
Happy stream, laughter flowing
Over rocky hills!
Cheerful lights, laughter shining
Flashing in the book light!
You, happy, you laugh
A melody, amusingly melodic!
7. Mother's Return Home
Mother returns home
The dog runs out
Excitedly swirling around
The chicks and ducks
Clasp tightly at their feet
Follow mother to the yard
Follow mother into the kitchen
Mother invites them all
They all roll in
Shouting loudly:
– “Mom, so hungry!
Mom, so hungry!”
Mom calls everyone
Serves a bowl of rice
After eating, they shout:
– “Mom, still hungry!
Mom, still hungry!”
8. Morning Glow
As night hesitates to leave
The darkness lingers on
Suddenly a thread of light:
The horizon unfolds its fan
Day returns in full bloom
Early Light rises up
Surveying in all directions
Land and sky in serene display
Morning sun fears disturbing
The sleep of grass and trees
Accompanying the gentle breeze
Softly lulling the grass
Collecting the tiny dewdrops
Molding them into diamonds
Scattered over the hills
A golden silk sheen
Cast on the rays of light
Spreading gems on the waves
Strewing dreams on the mountain
Shining bright peaks
Igniting the courtyard of clay
Brilliant hues of gold and red
Kindling the shoots of green
Myriad sparkles shimmering
Early sun exhales warm breath
Ripe rice blankets the fields
Orchards burgeon with life
Fragrance blends with sweet fruit
Everything accomplished well
Time to rest and unwind
Morning sun sits to play
Amidst smiles and red fruits.
9. Bunny's Dilemma
Frightened little bunny
Shouting out in fear:
– “Mommy, hurry up!
Oh! Look, a big fire!
Oh! Too dreadful
Fire spreading fast
Call relatives
Quickly run away!
Those in the burrow
Will die miserably!
Oh! Where are the folks?
Must run! Must run!”
Looking at the blaze
Mother bunny smiles:
– “My dear child!
Look closely
The red glowing fire there
Is the autumn woods
Touched by the early fall
Dyed in the hue of flames!”
