1. A New Friend
A new friend comes to school
Shy and timid at first
I teach my friend a song
Invite them to play along
Teacher sees us and smiles
She praises our teamwork.

2. A Rose for the Teacher
A freshly bloomed rose
Displaying its colors in the garden
As if just awakening
Still holding the morning dew
The fragrance gently fills the air
I hold it gently in my hands
And offer it to my teacher
On Vietnam Teacher's Day
I wish you health
Happiness and joy
May you always be youthful and beautiful
Taking care of our little class.

3. Listen to Your Teacher
The little one is going to school
And sings happily when returning home
Washes hands before eating
'My teacher told me to do that'
Invites parents to eat first
Shares more with younger siblings
Doesn't let rice fall
'My teacher told me to do that'
'My teacher told me to do that'
Always reminds me of good deeds
So, dear little one
Remember your teacher's words.

4. Our Teacher
Every time she enters the classroom
She greets us with a bright smile
Enthusiastically teaching her lesson
Her voice warm and gentle.
Any student who misbehaves
She doesn't like it at all
But those who are attentive and kind
She loves them dearly!
As small as a grain of salt
As beautiful as wildflowers
Our teacher
Who wouldn't adore her?

5. My Teacher
Mom! Teacher taught us today
About transportation methods
Airplanes fly in the sky
Cars travel on the road
Boats and canoes
Move along the waterways, mom
I remember teacher’s words
When on the road, be careful
Walk on the sidewalk
Don’t stick your head out of the window
At the intersection
Stop when the light is red
Get ready when it's yellow
Go only when the light turns green
I’ll always remember her teachings
Never forgetting them.

6. My Teacher Shows Us How to Line Up
My teacher shows us how to line up
The student behind gives way to the one in front
We all walk together in step
Standing straight and with dignity
We sit in a neat line
Learning letters through pictures
The letter O is round
The letter Ô looks like an umbrella
Then the teacher tells us stories about a rabbit
About Mr. Bear and Mr. Elephant
About pulling up turnips
And everyone in class joins in the fun.
I love my teacher
Just like I love my mom
I whisper softly:
'My gentle teacher.'

7. A Flower for My Beloved Teacher
Today is the special day
For our beloved teacher
I’m so happy, so glad
To give her a beautiful flower.
A fresh red rose
Plucked from the garden I tend
Teacher looks at it for a long time
Her smile speaks volumes of joy.
Oh, how happy she is!
She looks at me with such delight
Her cheeks rosy with warmth
And she kisses me gently.

8. Teacher and Mother
In the morning, the little one greets mom
Running to hug the teacher’s neck
In the afternoon, the little one says goodbye to the teacher
And jumps into mom’s arms.
The sun rises and sets
On little feet running swiftly
The two horizons of my world
Are my mother and my teacher.

9. Teacher’s Hands
The teacher’s hands
Fix my hair in neat braids
At home, my mom praises me
She says, 'Your teacher does such a good job.'
Teacher’s hands mend my clothes
Like a big sister’s hands
Like the gentle hands of my mother.
She holds my hand
Guiding each letter I write
My writing improves, neat and straight.
Teacher’s two hands teach me to dance gracefully
Teacher’s two hands teach me to weave skillfully.
She takes my hand, leading me
Along the road to class
The beautiful roads of our homeland
The long roads of our country.
She steps, I step
Green trees line the way
As the morning sun unfolds its rays
And the beauty of teacher’s hands shines bright.

10. Two Precious Words
The two words 'Teacher!' are so incredibly dear
Spoken from the sweet lips of a child calling out to their teacher!
'Teacher! I've eaten my rice!' they say
Clean bowl, nothing spilled on the table
'Teacher! I've taken my medicine!' they cheerfully announce
Praise me, teacher, I took it well
The medicine was bitter, but I didn't cry
Once I finish the medicine, I'll feel better!
'Teacher! I’m already asleep, good night!'
Eyes closed, and the teacher tells a story for me
It’s about a little kitten who cried
The kitten was naughty, refusing to go to school
Am I like the kitten?
No crying, teacher and mom will love me!
'Teacher! Look at this beautiful thing I have!'
Mom just bought it from the market yesterday
This bow, isn't it pretty, teacher?
Let me wear it, do I look good, teacher?
In the morning, I’m with teacher, in the evening I’m with mom
Morning and evening, the air is filled with the sound of 'Teacher!'
'Teacher! Can you tie my hair for me?'
Make two little pigtails, that's what I love
'Teacher! The kitten was naughty and cried'
But I’m well-behaved, teacher will be so happy
And every week, teacher gives me a rose
The well-behaved child brings it home to show mom...
'Teacher!'
Just those two words, how precious they are
Even when I’m exhausted, my heart is filled with joy
The life of a teacher is tough, full of worries and hardships
But the love in their eyes never fades
All the worries and weariness disappear
Maybe it’s because of those two words, 'Teacher!'
