Poems for Khai bút
1. Spring Returns
Author: Chu Minh Khôi – In memory of Nguyễn Bính
The sun shines brightly, signaling a new year
Birds sing, filling the air with letters
January closes its eyes, smiling at the budding luck
Green buds of fortune sprout, revealing their charming teeth
The bustling New Year’s market overflows with people
Fading peach blossoms blush, hinting at hidden smiles
A group of village girls passes by, their laughter filling the sky with crystal clear joy
The gentle spring breeze carries away the cold of winter
Waiting eagerly for the spring rain to shower blessings
Daydreaming of the village girl, intoxicated by her charm
The literary and artistic troupe has promised a spring performance
Will you come to me tonight as we celebrate the new year?
2. Spring Song
Author: Lê Mỹ Hường
Spring is coming, let’s welcome spring
With joyful songs and vibrant dances
Flowers bloom brilliantly, showcasing the beauty of spring
On the cheeks and lips of every young girl
Spring is here, and spring will continue
With the cheerful chirping of birds filling the air
And the graceful flight of swallows across the sky
Connecting loved ones from north to south
Spring songs fill our hearts with dreams and desires
Bringing happiness to every home and a smile to every face
Like a blooming flower in the warm spring sun
Let’s sing together, celebrating the eternal spring songs
Let’s gather and reunite, from south to north
As spring deepens the bond between us
The canvas of our homeland echoes with victory songs
Let’s turn the page and embrace a bright new spring.

Please don’t keep me waiting too long!

And the passion that burns within your heart
So, smile, my love
And let your eyes shine, free from sorrow
