Following ancient footsteps, crossing high mountains
Through deep streams and waterfalls, returning to the homeland of betel and areca
Hand in hand with smiles, inviting you to come along
We visit the ancient temples, we visit the fairyland
Into the fairyland, the stone bridge echoes the zither's melody
Into the fairyland, where Cuoi sits under the banyan tree
Into the fairyland, the obedient girl and the white daisy
Into the fairyland, Tam emerges from the pumpkin
Watching the bright moon, behold Hang Nga so beautiful
Green on the outside but red inside, the watermelon on the deserted island
Oh camel, have you finished your lifetime of hard work?
We eat the persimmons and repay with gold, soaring back to distant lands

''Mid-Autumn Festival, carrying lanterns for a stroll
I carry lanterns around the streets
With joy in my heart and lanterns in hand
I dance and sing under the full moon's light
Star lanterns and fish lanterns
Swan lanterns and butterfly lanterns
I carry these lanterns to the moon palace
Green lanterns and purple lanterns
Blue lanterns and white lanterns
In the radiant light of various colors
High above, the moon shines round and bright
Shining down gently on the earth
On the full moon night, Hang's shadow is clear
I happily dance to welcome Hang
Boom boom boom, the sound of drumming
Boom boom boom, the sound of joy
I carry these lanterns to the moon palace
Boom boom boom, the sound of drumming
Boom boom boom, the sound of joy
I carry these lanterns to welcome Hang
Mid-Autumn Festival, tables filled with treats
Children gather happily
Demanding lotus seeds and stuffed cakes
Wanting four or five portions
Sweet and fragrant like baked and steamed cakes
Sweet and spicy like ginger and pumpkin preserves
Eating refreshes the heart and brings more joy
Biting into melon seeds, they crackle and pop
People rejoice, talking and laughing
Many hearts celebrate the full moon''

Heart filled with memories of childhood
Excitedly watching us play joyfully

Sitting with friends under the golden moon
Sharing tales of our childhood days
Red lanterns, green and purple lanterns spinning fast
Harmonizing, singing joyfully under the moon

Uncle Cuoi lost in thought, reminiscing about the past

Resting, we chew betel nuts, head and knees rested to gaze at the starry sky
Whose house has a guest bird singing melodiously, seeking the bird's call
Saying there are three fair maidens with rosy cheeks and cherry lips
Ask the banyan tree why it's silent, every night mourning its lonely fate
The leaning banyan tree's shadow extends to the village head, intertwining pink threads for someone's eager anticipation
Whoever passes by the sloping path, remember to turn back, chew a piece of spicy betel nut
The banyan tree reflects upon each day, waiting for someone, waiting for someone...
The banyan tree awaits with sad eyes, waiting for someone, waiting for someone...
