- Ngày xuân con én đưa thoi
- Thiều quang chín chục đã ngoài sáu mươi
- Cỏ non xanh tận chân trời
- Cành lê trắng điểm một vài bông hoa
- Thanh Minh trong tiết tháng ba
- Lễ là Tảo mộ, hội là Đạp thanh
- Gần xa nô nức yến oanh
- Chị em sắm sửa bộ hành chơi xuân
- Swift swallows and spring days were shuttling by
- of ninety radiant ones three score had fled.
- Young grass spread all its green to heaven's rim;
- some blossoms marked pear branches with white dots.
- Now came the Feast of Light in the third month
- with graveyard rites and junkets on the green.
- As merry pilgrims flocked from near and far,
- the sisters and their brother went for a stroll.
