1. Untitled
Forever remembering my homeland
The father’s nurturing care
The mother’s loving birth
Raising a child to maturity
Only in the future
When the child grows older
Will they truly understand
The heart of their parents.
Collected


2. River of My Homeland
Returning to the river of my homeland
A time of youth
The river, gentle and kind
Like a mother's loving embrace
Eight years struggling
In the bustling city
Now, suddenly reunited
With the picturesque countryside
The river’s waters, clear and green
Refreshing the soul
Evening strolls, slow and peaceful
The golden sunset overhead
I realize my faults
With the old river
Years of separation
The river forgives me
Life flows on as always
Ever-changing, both muddy and clear
But the river remains the same
A life full of loyalty.
Poem: Nguyễn Ngọc Giang


3. Gazing at the Shadows of Home
Sowing the seeds of life
With dreams full of hope
Nurturing ambitions
From then until now
Far from the motherland
The longing runs deep
But we must move on
Not dwell in sorrow
When we return
Happiness will fill the heart
No more pain
Nor emptiness here
Many evenings spent in quiet thought
Gazing at the shadows of home
Sadness over destiny
Wandering through the days.
Poem: Yêu Thoáng Qua


4. Binh Dinh, My Homeland
Binh Dinh, my homeland
With its vast fields
Its village roads
And stunning nature
The best of Quy Nhon
Binh Dinh, my homeland
Children play happily
On the open ground
Engaging in games
Strategizing fiercely
Like in the years past
Fighting valiantly
Alongside nature
The old bamboo groves
Blocking the enemies' path
The fierce Yuan invaders
Each grain of sand
Every dry grass blade
And even the mountains
Rushed to battle
Binh Dinh, my homeland
For so many years
The stream still flows
From a sapling
To a mighty tree
An ancient banyan
Shading the people
Helping the world.
Collected


5. Untitled
No matter where I go
Whether far or near
My heart always remains
Directed towards my homeland.
The fertile land
The lush trees
The crystal-clear river
Only my homeland has.
Grateful for its embrace
For all the love shown
I can never repay
The kindness in this life.
Study diligently
Contribute to the care
Of my homeland, my country
With loyalty and love.
My homeland
Is both clean and beautiful
I love my homeland
My homeland, Vietnam.
Collected


6. Untitled
My beloved homeland
Filled with countless memories
Returning to my childhood
Where the river flows green
And the fields stretch wide!
As the wind blows gently
Children herding cows
The sound of the wind rustling
The call of mothers home
I love my homeland dearly!
Collected


7. Spring has Arrived
Autumn has passed
Has winter come yet?
Spring is here now
The swallows are flying
Marking the arrival of spring
And yet, I still don't know
When I'll be home
To celebrate the spring
Because spring arrives
And then just leaves
So many memories
So many moments
All wrapped up
In this year's spring
Trying to gather as many
Red envelopes as I can
Because who knows when
I will truly welcome spring.
Collected


8. Drawing My Homeland
Green and red pencils
You sharpen both ends
You try both colors
Bright green, deep red
You draw the village
With green bamboo, green rice
The winding river
A cool stream of green
The sky and clouds
Endless and vast
Pure blue in autumn
And the color of dreams…
You turn the red pencil
And draw your house
With its new red tiles
The school on the hill
You color it deep red
The first tree at the village's edge
With its radiant flowers
Ah, the sun is rising now
The national flag waves
In the blue sky…
Look, sister, at the painting
Our homeland is so beautiful!
Poem: Dinh Hai


9. My Homeland
If you come to the islet
The sea is so fresh and blue
The grass and trees are lush
So gentle and familiar
Our homeland is so beautiful
Come, my dear, and visit
The small street corner
The sunset is so stunning
Etching memories deep
Memories that never fade
It's the love of our homeland
Forever cherished, even from afar
Back when there was war
The bees came in swarms
Was it the sound of the enemy
Shouting and roaring?
After each battle
They flattened the battlefield
Wiping out the whole swarm
Bathed in fire and blood
In our brave homeland
It has always been like this.
Collected


10. The Vast Field
The vast field
Spreads far and wide
The bamboo groves sway gently
My heart follows its rhythm.
Swaying in the wind
The fragrant aroma
Of the evening song
Can you hear it, my dear?
Look at the hedge
Taller than the rice stalks
Just like me, taller
Than your little head.
The path is narrow
The green grass banks
The sky is high and clear
Can you see it, my dear?
I carry in my heart
All of this field
Its weight fills me
With the love of my homeland...
The field is filled with love
My heart is full of green
See the birds singing
My dear, love me...
Poem: Tế Hanh
