This Tết, let me offer a few words

Live and behave with tact, speak with respect.

In unity, what should we say?

Better to gather together, whatever it takes to see!

If we are of the Dragon lineage

Vietnam, its language remains here and there,

Wishing to carry it, please promise one day

Vietnamese customs, let us remember them.

O deity! God of Wealth, my dear one

It came to your name, remembered a lifetime

Poor in money, rich in mind and spirit

That is why, year after year, it never ceases.

Heaven pities, Buddha blesses, now we are full

Children succeed, coming to fruition

Helping the family, helping the clan

We give thanks on this holiday

Leisure comes, this day is remembered

Raising the children through their youth

We visit for nothing, only feeling shy

We stand and greet each other, going together

Grandsons, granddaughters truly dear, joyful

[?] noodles, sadness

Loving each other, who wants to be apart

Not shy to show our path together

Away from ancestors we also go

We thank Heaven and Buddha for [?]

Those born in the earlier years

Day and night recounting hardships

Less lucky, comparing fates all rising

Days of blessing must be shared rightly

Who knows how to share, this is one's own

[?] each has, wishing to obtain

Also unattainable, beside the elder

How many times slipping in the rainwater

How many times tripping on stone just while playing

Whether rain or shine is heaven's affair

Joy and sorrow, what are they here?

Rich or poor, why bother caring

High or low fame, comparing is no good

Born ugly or beautiful, neither side

When misfortune comes, ups and downs unpredictable

Only the heart's feeling and love

With charity and yielding kindness, how few

Forgiveness is precious, right or wrong

For years, most remembered before

Sons and daughters gathered, only longing

So then that pond right away

Only then feeling the joy at heaven's gate

Holding back again and again, my own self

[?] truly, boredom overflows

[?] sad

From now understanding as before

Wishing not to create [?]

Wishing a hundred, my foremost wish

To be at peace, to rest, warm at heart

Bé Kim, thoughtful and diligent

Behaving well, coming to help, I tend faithfully.

Helping the year, watching over sleep at night

Wholeheartedly caring, all-out

So there is the word of trust

I here, all done through and through

Not far, grandma has been hungry long

Not yet, will help it come to light.

Today on Bé Nhi's head, or so

Naturally Buddha came in to help us

We were sitting talking, us three

Talent and beauty, both a pair

Bé Nhi cares for us?

"[?]" is advice for us

The good book "Pháp Ngữ" of Buddhism

Reading peacefully, reading through, healthy

Mind at ease, conscience [?]

Bé Nhi helps to open the way

Hoping heaven blesses and grants grace to us

Born, given a name, [?]

Two thousand seventeen, it works out to PRef WAy (Federal Way)

Forgiveness, great America now

[?] fairy maiden, remember well

Sophia Nguyễn, remember this well now

Wishing every day, parents love in their hearts

Vietnamese homeland, deeply hoping for grace
