ÄÆ¡n SÆ¡
Lạc loà i trên đất tạm dung,
Dựng căn chòi nhỠbên vùng biển êm.
Bà n tay chai cứng, đá má»m.
Äêm trăng soi bóng bên thá»m Ä‘á»c thÆ¡.
Äong Ä‘Æ°a chiếc võng chùng tÆ¡.
Äiệu ru ngà y cÅ© à ơ và dầu.
Chòi sau lắc lẻo nhịp cầu.
Buồm xa thấp thoáng bóng tà u lắc lư.
Bá»nh bồng sóng nÆ°á»›c vô tÆ°.
Gió Æ¡i, Ä‘Æ°a mối sầu dÆ° sang bá»!
Simplicity (co-translated with Nancy Arbuthnot)
Exiled in this strange land
We build our tent-site on sand-
Rocks feel soft to work-hardened hands.
At night when the moon shines
We recite poems. The hammock sways.
A mother’s song, à ơ và d ầ u, lures her child to peace.
Beyond the monkey-bridge,
A boat rocks with the waves.
Wind, carry my worries
To the other side of the sea!
