O brother Phùng Ánh, dear one

So many times father asked, lacking any reply

Why do you live so silently

Are you sick or is your mind and body troubled

If old friends are still near

Then remember to contact, so people may rest easier

Is Andrew still in the nearby region

Or has he moved to a far region already

The house, if it can be sold off

Come tell the family, so people worry less

In case the body weakens, less alone

Siblings help each other, warm and fed, less troubled

High Heaven above needs most to have peace

Healthy body, heart, mind, good things seen at once

Now you must think about it right away

So that your body is well, joyful right away.

O sibling Tài, far away

Yearning, awaiting news, whether standing or sitting

Not understanding why, gone silent

I too must simply keep quiet

Yesterday Thu reported, made it clear to me

Uncle and aunt are at peace, blessed now

Children and grandchildren compete, are advancing

Thank Heaven, ancestral blessings, grace on us Phùng!

The Phùng clan, ancestral blessings, gained peace

The economy declined, to a frightening degree

Not climbing high, no fear of falling

Eating and spending frugally, saving for oneself

Relatives await, news from old friends

Almost arriving, surely it will come true

Uncle Tài somehow, gradually breathes easier

The people have recovered, gained family.

If not shattered, the whole family

War killed so many people

Yet why is our life so bright like this

Because of whom are we spared bitterness

Whose heart rescued us to enjoy peaceful days

Family reunited, gathered together

Work prospering, brimming with joy

Should not turn away the face and back

Must remember this joyful matter

Whoever the sponsor was

Let us set aside two words, full-hearted: "Thank you"

Christmas this year is truly a surprise

No news given beforehand, yet it is poetic

Family happy, gathered in full

Perhaps good news, about to be awaited

A good occasion comes, remember to wish and help

Wish everyone to achieve what they still dream

Dream so it comes true, that is good and convenient

Remember forever, never forget, the surprise.

This year thirty-seven years of age

Today the birthday, joy oh joy

Here is Phương, surnamed Nguyễn by name

Husband named Quý like a cluster of starlight

Kim there, the beloved daughter, a fairy entering

The family so happy, how much love

Husband, wife, and daughter all born

Living with full virtue, bright morning peaceful night

My sibling, ninety, far away

Orchid blessings, truly precious!

Celebrating my birthday sweetly

This affection, may high Buddha and Heaven fully understand

Remembering the past living together

Remembering words of comfort and encouragement long ago

Advising each other not to speak carelessly

Wishing each other health in the twilight years

Hoping the grandchildren are harmonious as Yao

Praying sons and daughters do deeds to help people

Wishing that sibling Phiên, when in need

Buddha and Heaven protect, the longer the better

Wish grandfather peaceful sleep for a thousand years

Wish grandmother more longevity, deeply bonded with children.

Loan Phong, heart truly complete

Worship father, respect mother, loyal heart all life

Grandfather's soul in the realm of the underworld

Still always protects the couple and children

Relatives and friends, worn with waiting

Pray the family's circumstances grow better each day

Live life, Buddha-heart, dwell uprightly

Heaven and Buddha always turn to bless!

I return to live in the realm of Buddha here

Naturally sever the joys of the worldly life

I do not speak wrongly or recklessly

Fame, talent, money, lust—no longer involved

Blessings, fortune, longevity—swords and blades

Forget it, discard all the drugs and poisons

Settle the mind, enlightenment as the theme

Buddha deep in the heart, a pillow to rest the head

Thanks to the one who remembers the in-laws

Thanks to the one who sent a precious gift

Young and famous right away

Genuine golden dragon, now well known

Having eaten, remember the beloved one

Far away yet still finds a way to send

Suddenly the time has reached eighty-three

How much further is the road to the grave?

Strength too has withered

Vigor too has run out, all spent

What tasks must still be done together

Household matters, ancestral matters, done together here

Parting means the end of gathering

When life's face vanishes, return the clouds to the sky

If there are flowers, cover the hand with flowers

If no flowers, cover the mourning life

Remembering each other deeply, myriad colors

Loving oneself, still covering, front and back, one heart

So long as the heart is truly pure

How feeling within, inside and out [?]

Let whoever awaits [?]

Heaven let us just meet each other

Heaven let us just form a pure, deep bond

Pray both families stay firm and steadfast

Wish both country families warm-hearted

We are the parents' generation

Behave rightly, surely they will follow

Whoever helps pass mountains and passes

Husband and wife harmonious, climb through to the end.
