Thank you two grandchildren for visiting

Plus gifts and cakes, so warm and fresh

From afar there has been laughter

Having a new job, smiling and happy

Being diligent and enduring hardship

Help the child, help the wife, so they can rest at ease.

Nguyên for now, with a truly gentle nature

Raising the child devotedly, truly patient wholeheartedly

Sophia is beautiful as hoped for

Smiling and drinking milk, nothing rosier

The little one is joyful like a flute and lute

Wishing by day, by month, to advance more, advance steadily

A future beautiful like embroidered bamboo

Praying to Heaven, praying to Buddha, to bless through the months and years

Crab noodle soup, who cooked it today

Fragrant and sweet, this riêu today

Herbs and garnishes plus a serving

Eating it soothes the stomach, so tasty, seasoned well

Grateful to the one who cooked, first tomorrow

Please remember to cook again, showing more skill

Riêu delicious, words gentle and calm

Having eaten, remembering forever, day and night remembering

Praying that someday in the future

loving, blessing, the long days

a comfortable life!

Before, dad sent emails

Only Hoa often replied

Now [?] a splendid appearance

Hoa, Vi in life reveal themselves

Oh joy, dad sees the whole family

Emerging into view, magnificent, together

Many years gathering, living together

Many years not yet letting all the joy spread

Wishing that the beginning

Return to Nhựt has friends to keep watch

Before, always spoke of wishes

become a pair, choosy in choosing a spouse

If given, then far too much

Think truly a bit of advice

Whenever loosening the burning hills to burn

Is the time to give oneself, fate from Heaven to grant.

Cheer up, help Cận dear

help Cận be relieved, day and night no more complaining

Then travel in sun and cold

with Cận, strolling, asking and chatting

Then when the belly is full of rice

Sharing with the two grandchildren tales of a lifetime

That moon is only beautiful on the full-moon night

If the chance is missed, the fame fades

a peaceful age is a matter of destiny

complaining, the country succeeds

Joyful heart, joyful mind, rosy life

Heaven loves and keeps it good, dawn will come one day

That temple will lend a hand

The soul in the Western Paradise will fly [?]

raise the hand to hold the flag

There will be days and months for the dream [?]

How pitiful is brother Cận, his body in pain

Many years, bedridden, weathered by wind and frost

Hoping he rises, leaves the bed

Walking to and fro, Heaven pities, health gradually returns

Then the family and loved ones

Healthy and joyful, then with a clear spirit

He's happy, he loves the whole family

Hoa here, joyful heart, singing all day

Thuý / Quỳnh eager, [?]

Business advancing, fate at hand, life planting

Praying to Heaven for quick rosy support

the family of Hoa / Cận like flowers in a good season

Reading the name, thinking of the person is

How the name is so beautiful, like a fairy

For many years the two grandchildren lived gently

For many years the two grandchildren graceful and charming

[?] grandchildren leisurely

[?] a small boat, the grandchild is a girl

grandchild most beautiful, none second

Charming in speech and in conversation

The grandchild's mother, sitting or standing, always worries

Worries about food, clothes, things to live on

raising so the grandchild's father is rosy

wishing the two grandchildren succeed and fulfill their wishes

The two grandchildren have much good fortune

Fate of Heaven, fate as truly wished

Thinking over and over, calculating the words

Carrying out the beautiful wishes in each other's affairs.
