1. Climbing the Mountain Pass
Climbing up the steep mountain slope
Winds blow across, the soul drifts away
Echoing the melody of the flowing stream
The sound of mountain birds singing the restless forest tune.
Absorbed in the climb, I ascend
Grass and rocks intertwining, the path winding
I quietly ask: where is the mountain peak
That will lift me forever beyond the mortal realm?
Let all sorrow vanish
Sent with the winds, the pure white clouds of the mountains.
Floating, the soul intoxicated
The day has ended, my feet reluctant to return.

2. Ba Vì, My Hometown
Thien Son embraces Suoi Nga
Where the sacred land of our ancestors lies
Ba Vi is so beautiful, oh people
The two Kings once ruled this renowned land.
The air is pure, the climate fresh
Mountains surround, and forests stretch endlessly
This is a heavenly land granted by the sky
A majestic painting adorned with drifting clouds.
The stream hums, the wind sings day and night
Da Giang echoes with the passionate songs
The winding road loops around the peaks
White wings of herons on the morning slopes.
The people, young and old, work tirelessly
Building a solid and prosperous future
For generations to remember and never forget
This is where history honors the name of Xứ Đoài.

3. Countryside Landscape
The breeze is gentle and serene
The clear green hue of the morning mist gently flows
The vast fields of young rice
Nature is the golden heart of the countryside.
Through seasons of moonlit promises
The fragrant rice blooms with abundant essence
The lullaby of a sweet, lilting voice
Reminds me of my mother singing regional songs.
The winding river reaches its end
Floating water lilies drift on the spacious stream
The soft purple flowers are delicate
The trees bask in the sunlight, painting the land.
The narrow path leads to a world of love
Small thatched houses line the road, casting shadows
The birds call their friends
Whispering the refrain of the season's songs.
Young girls carrying rice, laughing and playing
In the fields, shepherds' hearts remain pure
Beyond the hill, a line of drifting clouds
The beauty of the landscape reminds me of the rural past.
Spring is full of dreams and life
The garden scenery is vibrant and poetic at dusk
Beside the bamboo bushes near the house
The smoke of incense mingles with the wind, inviting poetic guests.

4. Melody of the Homeland
Endless skies and earth intertwined
The golden hue of ripened rice sways gracefully
Weaving a melody of love's embrace
The echoes, powerful and majestic, of the village home.
The rhythm of transient life
Silk banners ripple in the fields as the harvest comes
The vast mountains and forests weave verses
The grandeur of nature leaves humankind in awe.
Hills and valleys rise in layers
Each peak beckons the mountain wind to dance
Like a scene from a fairy tale
The stunning landscapes of this land are a natural wonder!
Poem: Lãng Du Khách


5. Childhood and Nature
Nature is so incredibly beautiful
The blue sea stretching far, the distant hills
The coconut trees arching like combs
The sky above clear, casting my shadow on the land
Looking back at childhood, it's enchanting
The towering mountains, vast seas, and green trees all around
The landscape so picturesque, like a painting
Childhood memories saved for the future!

6. Carefree
The moon hangs at the mountain's peak
Its hazy glow reflects on the drifting boat
The autumn tree branches turn a reddish hue
The vast sky and water stretch out, floating in wanderlust
Flute notes play, echoing the autumn moon
The fog swirls around, veiling the scene
The boat sways with a lazy motion
The melody dances with the drifting clouds
The wine intoxicates, luring me into a trance
Alone, in the vastness of the sky and earth
The grass and flowers envy my drifting shadow
The water joins in, chasing along, teasing me
Between heaven and earth, the air is crisp
The moon is serene, the wind cool, weaving through the mist
My soul drifts, lost in reverie
I ride the winds, soaring to unknown realms!

7. Love Falls in Sa Pa
Here, the landscape is truly charming
The mountains are covered in a mysterious green, making you feel like you're in a dream
The endless forests and hills create a poetic scene
The Love Falls waits for someone to come
The trees are lush, the water is silvery, and the golden sunlight shines down
The clouds drift, calling the winds from all directions
Wherever you may be, this homeland will always stay in your heart
A sudden feeling of longing emerges
The mountains and valleys are far apart, but I wait patiently
The distant roads seem so far away
I leave behind the snowy seasons to visit this place again
As I sit here, intoxicated and lost in thought
My heart is captivated by these dreams and wishes
The waves of emotion rise inside me
And I feel the tears flowing into my soul
The longing for life is endless
Like flowers and butterflies that are inseparable
The beauty of first love shines
And now it is like water flowing over a bridge, lost in thought
The Love Falls remains beautiful
Capturing the soul of every traveler who is stunned by its charm
The water sings a melodic tune
As distant travelers dream of this place in their sleep.

8. Nature of Vietnam
Nature is truly a wonder!
The vast expanse of white sand and grass swaying in the fields
The view is breathtakingly beautiful, a true work of art
It feels as though the landscape is carved by invisible hands
The base of trees takes on human forms
It stirs the soul and evokes emotions about the world
The blue sea, the green mountains, the endless hills
So many beautiful sights, as though they're part of a dream
Vietnam, how beautiful you are!
Our homeland, proud in the heart of the world
Vietnam, with its unique diversity
A land that is beautiful and rich, enduring through the ages.

9. Admiring Nature's Scenery
Gaze at the vast, endless sea
A mesmerizing shade of blue that captivates the heart
Listen to the rhythmic waves gently lapping
Like a lullaby from the time we were cradled in our beds.
Watch the clouds gracefully drift
Floating lazily, like the carefree days of youth
The golden sunlight gleams like a smile
Encouraging the flowers to bloom and bringing spring to the world.
Admire the deep green of the mountains
Layer upon layer, forming a protective embrace
The mountains cradle the boundless sea
And I, like a fragile grain of sand, am caught between the vastness of life.

10. Welcoming Spring
Together we stroll, hand in hand
Nature shines with the vibrant hues of spring
No need for words, no room for doubt
The fragrance of flowers, the lush grass, all captivate the senses.
See the butterfly gently fluttering
Spreading its delicate wings, drunk on the warm scent
Shoulders bask in the golden sun
As the spring breeze fills the world with endless joy.
