New House - Poem by Le Nhuoc Thuy

Illustration: Tuan Anh

We have long forgotten about family matters.

Meeting friends at the market street led to becoming acquaintances.

Sometimes, a few sips of alcohol can feel like fire.

Following the example of the ancients, one is indifferent to wealth and fame.

Life is fleeting, death is like a speck of dust.

My dear, don't be sad because of the unpredictable storms.

A blade of grass will always remain a blade of grass.

I suddenly found myself like a boundless breeze.

Now a new house, oh wow, a brand new house

Will you drink with me tonight?

Don't celebrate, don't celebrate!

And so we bid farewell to our temporary stay.

A new house, well, let's just call it a new house.

Because in my life I have never had such an experience.

My new home is you, and nature is boundless.

White-haired friends in the world of poetry

The waves still crash against the shores, carrying the water back to the sea.

The sea in our hearts is tossing the mane of a white-haired horse.

I wanted to look at flowers and leaves to forget, but then I suddenly remembered.

In this life, the struggle for food and clothing constantly surrounds us.

When friends come to celebrate, just talk about the joy.

Let us drink to the bottom of pure hearts.

Let us drink to the last drop of the heartfelt concern for all the hardships endured.

My dear, let's drink together with our friends until tonight and forever after.
