    Người về ta chẳng cho về
    Tay níu vạt áo, tay đề câu thơ
    Câu thơ ba chử đành rành
    Chử trung, chử hiếu chử t́nh là ba
    Chử trung là của phần cha
    Chử hiếu phần mẹ, đôi ta chử t́nh


    You left I would not let go
    One hand I seized a corner of your dress
    The other hand I wrote a verse
    It composed three prominent words
    Loyalty, reverence, and love
    Loyalty was reserved for father
    Reverence was for mother
    Love was for both of us.



    Another version

    You leave, I let you not
    Hand grabbed shirt’s hem, hand wrote a verse
    The verse- three words prominent
    Loyalty, piousness, love- are three
    For father the word loyalty
    For mother the word piousness, for us- love
