The song Lullaby for Old Love was composed by the musician on his way back to visit his mother. By chance, the song came to the hands of singer Le Thu. In 1967, the female singer recorded it and introduced it on Saigon stages. The work quickly spread beyond the composer's own expectations. Musician Dinh Tram Ca once said about this work: "The copyright for recording a record is very expensive. It is more than 10 taels of gold. At that time, I was in a tight spot, receiving a large salary was like finding a mat when I was sleepy."

The musician also devoted much of his heart to poetry. He considered poetry his first love, a lifelong companion. "It is not surprising that many poets call me a musician, and musicians call me a poet. I can do both things in life. I was not destined to live and work in a professional artistic environment, but my creative consciousness arose strongly while I was still in school. At that time, the poems I wrote were popular among my friends, and I wrote music just for fun," the musician once shared. In 2000, Dinh Tram Ca stopped composing both music and poetry.
