Poem: For the Ancestor Commemoration Day

Fragrant rice grains from the fertile alluvial soil of our land, imbued with the boundless love of our nation for a thousand years. The pages of time still illuminate the legends; sticky rice cakes (bánh chưng and bánh giầy) are sweet and savory, the taste of sweat.

TRAN THANH THOA

Fragrant rice grains from the fertile alluvial soil of the land.
The boundless love and affection for our country, spanning a thousand years.
The pages of time still illuminate the legend.
Sticky rice cakes (Bánh chưng and Bánh giầy) are sweet and savory, the taste of sweat.

The ancestral land of King Hung, grateful to the founders of the nation.
The round grains of rice represent the heartfelt devotion of Lang Liêu.
Carefully cultivated by the hands of farmers, enduring rain and sunshine.
Loyalty to straw and fields, wind and frost

The sacred rhythm of the Dong Son drums, the source of our origins.
The sky over Nghia Linh is shrouded in swirling clouds and mist.
A million hearts are a million warm flames.
Those gazes illuminated the blue sky…

Within you, within me, is the image of our homeland.
Every inch of land is the flesh and blood of our ancestors.
The ancestral land still echoes the words of King Hung who founded the nation.
The mountains and rivers are forgiving.
North, Central, and South Vietnam are one family!
