■ 110 Tạp Ghi Lan Man

(LQT phỏng dịch)

Warm sunshine package I want to send to you
With soft country aroma blended in too
Hope this alleviates the bitter cold you have been
through
And brings us closer, me and you

White lilies from the garden I want to add
And a branch of nocturnal scent flowers to make
you glad
Red flamboyant now blooming
And the tune of crickets in the shrubs tinkling

Gentle breeze softly swinging the bamboo hedge

To add a soothing edge to your cup of green tea
Memories of straw roof and muddy wall homes of
our country
“Bamboo bridges high up and shaky

To your school Mom led you walk across,
And through school of life Mom was glad to be”
How sweet, the sweet nursing rhymes
Mom wants to send over for your sleeping calm
