After Luna New Year (Tết), Breathe and Smile with Mother - SOURIRE À MA MÈRE APRÈS TẾT


Sau Tết, Thở Cười Cùng Mẹ

Nắng vàng bao khắc khoải
Hồng đỏ nhuỵ phấn rơi
Tóc xanh giờ bạc trắng 
Cam chuối vàng lẻ loi.

After Luna New Year (Tết), Breathe and Smile with Mother 

Sunshine yellows with anxiety
From red roses' petals, stigma, pollens—falling.
Mother's once vibrant black hair
now turns silver white,
Orange and banana are goldening in isolation


SOURIRE À MA MÈRE APRÈS TẾT

le soleil jaunit d'anxiété
à l'envol du pollen des pétales roses
les cheveux noirs laqués de ma mère
aujourd'hui blanchissent argentés
les oranges et  les bananes dorent d'isolement
