Kinh Quốc dịch thơ TUYÊN QUANG:

        TÌNH YÊU CỦA ĐÁ
             Tuyên Quang

   Ngọt ngào và bao dung
   Đất sinh ra từ Đá
   Tặng ngàn cây hoa lá
   Để mầm sống sinh sôi...

   Qua phong hoá - Đá ơi
   Hoá mình vào đất mẹ
   Trong tình yêu lặng lẽ
   Dâng hiến cho cuộc đời ...

   Có mấy ai - người ơi
   Hiểu thấu tình của Đá
   Vũ trụ và tất cả...
   Là tình Đá - Đá ơi !!!

              --TQ--

       ROCK’S LOVE

      How sweet and generous are !
      Soil was born from rock
      Presented to thousand trees, leafs and flowers
      To proliferate for living buds...

      Going through weathering – hey rock!
      You change yourself into the motherland
      Living with your quiet love
      You donate your life for mankind

      Hey my love ! Is there any one?
      To understand clearly rock’s love
      All things and the universe
      These are rock’s love – Dear rock !

THE ORATION ON THE COUNTRY ANCESTOR’S DEATH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HÙNG EMPERORS 1
              At the Hùng pagoda – Phú Thọ province
              on March, 10 Canh Thìn lunar calendar

           Compiled by Lab. hero, Prof. Vũ  Khiêu

Congratulating today

The copper drums reverberate to, the mountains and rivers bubble up with heroic thunder!
The copper drums resound up, Heaven and Earth curl upward responsive vitalities!
All people participate in the first ancestor’s death anniversary of the Hùng Emperors
The whole country is happy in the Homeland’s Anniversary
How boisterous drums and gongs are!
How jubilant flags and pennons are!
Brightening up to the sun and the moon, the blue clouds with white flamingos 2,
                                the broad expanse of heaven
Lighting up the mountains and rivers, the yellow star-red flags,
                                     the spacious and immense holy land
The boats run down, the waves clap against, the three flow-river 3 sprinkles
                                  cool water everywhere.
The tigers glide, the dragons fly up, the hundred peak-mountain is gathered
                             to the royal direction 4
From the highest top of the ten-thousand-yard distance fortune,
We see together back forty centuries ago:
The bulky mountains with clouds are like our Father’s 5 distinguished service
The overflowing rivers with water are like our Mother’s 5  feeling of gratitude

Remembering the ancient times

Our Mother had been in the high mountains to light up the loyalty and humanity
Our Father grew from the sea with resourceful mind to will indomitably
It was matched in marriage between the two talent and beauty,
From which was made an unusual encounter from time immemorial up to now.
It was a link between a couple of yin and yang unifying as well as
the extraordinary Mandarin ducks!
That happy family bore a hundred eggs hatching into a hundred children
They fully sympathized in heart and mind to live
That life involved many great tests
Making a living had uncounted difficulties
                  Those were the dense jungle, the boggy swamps,
                                        the deep rivers and the dangerous ridges,
                                               but they didn’t frighten the brave!
Those were the male and female whales, the tigers and leopards,
           the diseases and the lighting and thunder storms,
                                                            what did they find to defend themselves?
Dividing all children into two directions, everyone was coming
Selecting the head of a position for succeeding.
The rivers and mountains in an uniform country, how can they exist in space forever?
The forests and seas in two places, to build them in four powerful directions!
Phù Đổng wiped the enemies, how dauntless was he 6!
Sơn Tinh harnessed the river water, how valiant was he 7!
How beautiful Chử Đồng Tử is 8!
His love looks like the transparent gems, the light mirrors
How excellent Mai An Tiêm is 9!
His labor is similar to moving the mountains, filling the sea
It is glorious to the eighteen royal dynasties
It is resplendent to the hundred prosperous and peaceful lives
Passing through miserably hard positions with full range of vicissitudes
Spreading the trials with many prosperous and deserted times!
The distinguished service of changing waste land only in a period
Were to make the authority for several hundred generations
There were Trưng sisters, Triệu Trinh, the heroic young women
There were Phùng Hưng 10, Lý Bí 11, the brave and strategic young men
The Bạch Đằng waves curled up strongly the Ngô King’s 12 position
The Như Nguyệt winds resounded far and wide the Thái Úy’s 13 speech
The Diên Hồng 14 conference shook violently all moons and stars
The Hưng Đạo’s 15 appeal made perplexedly to almost generals and soldiers
Passing ten years he had to lay on thorns and to taste bile
For frightening the Vương Thông’s 16 gangs out of their wits
His earth-shaking battle fought against aggressors,
For breaking out the Sĩ Nghị 17 and soldiers’ souls and vital spirits...

The twentieth century:

The liberation flags droved away the darkness
Uncle Hồ’ s far-resounding distinction came to East and West.
The whole world stopped the colonial calamities 18
The imperialist’s dreams broken into clouds and smoke 19.

So, knowing:

The rich countries are of not many soldier’s foods only
But also the powerful nations depend on morality
To see sơn hà-xã tắc 20 (the country and state) is the holy homeland
To take the independence and freedom is such a precious thing 21.

Nowadays, posterities are:

Sixty and one provinces and cities remember our ancestors
Fifty four nations and ethnic minorities look for our root and branches
                     From the bundle bearing a hundred children
                                             we love each other in harmony like blood relationship
On the base of a tree trunk with a hundred branches
                                        we attach each other forever like close glue and paint friendship
Building the fortune, when sister falls down, her younger one helps to rise up.
Meeting the distress, the gourds have to love the pumpkins 22
Four directions: North, South, East, West
A hundred family names: female, male, youth, oldster.
From a thousand yards coming here to welcome with feeling greatly pleased
We organize profoundly respectful the great anniversary
Dear the Emperors’ Ancestors with the ten thousand holy positions
Pleased, help your children to know your hundred  teachings.

Now, the meeting is in:

The Party completely succeeds in the new change of thinking process
Everyone feels elated and builds together the economy
The rich and powerful road has been widespread
The civilized life is more and more beautiful
Though the favorable opportunities are abundant
But the miserably hard challenges are left uneasily.
In the whole planet there abounds unjustness
The cruel cliques accustomed to egoism greed and cruel habits
Putting “to compete in equality”, but the rich countries
                                        are intentionally harmful to the poor ones
Speaking “ to trade in freedom”, that the big fishes
                               swallow more and more the small ones

But thinking of that:

In international relations, it’s necessary to extend.
Connecting the globe is the general trend
Leadership needs to open up the road
And our nations are the solid will
 Our intellect is more clever and creative
Our tradition is very humane and greatly just
Everyone learns for stretching farer than the ten thousand highness intelligence
The whole country emulates and wakes up the potential from eternities

Uncle Hồ admonished:

              Succeed in the duties,
                       stretch every difficulty,
                               win every enemy
              Think little of powerful authority,
                      do not flinch from destitute circumstance,
                               be not fond of wealth.

To build the fortune with much distinguished service.
How great our Fatherland’s Ancestors are!
To transmit every argument to the late generations
How clear-sighted Uncle Hồ is!

Your children swear:

Would build the powerful and prosperous country  
Would live in peace and friendship with humanity
A thousand lives of the genius Hồng Lạc are lightening!
Ten thousand yards of the impetuous Hùng Emperors are highest!

Legend has it that in mid-night at the Trương Hống and Trương Hát’s pagoda, nearly the Như Nguyệt river there were four poetic sentences resounding as follows:

Heaven’s book has clearly marked our border
Those enemies who dare to invade our land
Will surely withstand miserable loss.*
(*After Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai and J. Fossenbell’s translation). This is the Lý Thường Kiệt’s poem in Hanese language on title ”The Southern nation’s mountains and rivers”(1019-1105). It seems to be the first declaration of independence of Việt Nam, later.

Chào mừng 30/4 sắp tới:

    
            LUNG LINH SÔNG HÀN

                   Kinh Quốc

     Em đưa anh đến thăm Đà Nẵng
     Lâu quá hai ta đã vắng rồi:
     Gió lộng, nắng tràn gò cát trắng
     Sóng trào, biển, đảo, sông Hàn ơi!

     Bên anh, em lặng ngắm sông Hàn
     Khuôn mặt sáng hồng, dạ sướng ran
     Nhớ thời tấm bé cùng sông nước.
     Bơi, nhảy, cười, đùa, ca hét vang...

     Sông sống vui cùng ta, biển cả
     Ém quân, xung trận, bủa vây đồn
     Kho xăng Liên Chiểu bùng cao lửa
     Mùa xuân về giải phóng quê hương ...

     Tên sông ai đặt tự bao đời?
     Mà nghe thương quá, hỡi dòng trôi!
     Nỗi đau giặc xiết và ly biệt
     Sóng nước cần lao vá lại rồi.

     Đêm sông Hàn gió chao dòng nước
     Soi bóng màu xanh đỏ pháo hoa
     Cầu mới bay cao cờ Tổ Quốc
     Năm châu bè bạn tới mừng ta.

  THE HAN RIVER’S GLISTENING

     You escort me to visit the Đà Nẵng town
     For long time we have been absent there already
     Wind sweeps, sunlight covers on the white sand mounds
     The waves overflow from the sea to the islands and the Han river.

     Sitting by me, you calmly wash the Han river’s landscape.
     With your light-pink face and your pleased heart
     Remembering the childhood, you were by the flowing river
     To smile and romp, swim, jump, widely sing together.

     The river and we lived comfortably with the sea
     They covered up our soldiers, surrounded and took part to fight the enemies
     The Liên Chiểu gasoline store broke out with a high flame
     In that spring was liberated your countryside.

     Who did name the river from many lives ago?
     Oh how much lovely hearing the river’s flow is!
     The war wounds and separation by the enemies
     Were closely bandaged by laborious water waves.
    
     At the Han river night the wind flows rock incline water surface
     Reflecting the fireworks’ blue and red color and brightness
     On the new bridge the homeland’s flags are highly flying.
     The international friends came and warmly greeted us.

Theo Kinh Quốc, tôi dịch bài thơ TÌNH  YÊU  Của Quế Hằng ra tiếng Pháp :

                                           L’AMOUR

L’amour n’est pas la fleur,
La fleur se fanera au vent agité du soir,
L’amour n’est pas le rêve
Le rêve disparaitra dans la nuit noire,
L’amour n’est pas l’oiseau
L’oiseau ne reviendra que quand il fait beau ,
L’amour n’est pas la bande de sable
Qui n’attend que le baiser de la mer.

L’amour est la mer immense,
Accueuillant le fleuve rutilant,
Le fleuve cherche l’abri dans la mer
Au beau temps comme en temps de pluie.

La mer attend pendant toute saison,
Quand le fleuve s’emplit, comme quand il s’assèche,
sans jamais se plaindre,
Qu’il soit trouble ou limpide,
Qu’il soit plein ou vide!
                                 Traduit du pòeme  TÌNH YÊU  de Quế Hằng
                                                   par Trịnh Phúc Nguyên

Kinh Quốc đã viết:

     TÌNH YÊU
        Thơ Quế Hằng

   Tình yêu đâu là hoa
   Hoa tàn khi chiều lộng
   Tình chẳng phải là mộng
   Mộng biến vào cõi đêm.

   Tình không phải là chim
   Chỉ về khi ấm áp
   Tình chả là bãi cát
   Chỉ biết chờ biển hôn.

   Tình là biển mênh mông
   Đón dòng sông đỏ áu
   Sông tìm biển nương náu
   Cả lúc nắng khi mưa.

   Biển chờ đợi mọi mùa
   Khi sông đầy, sông cạn
   Không bao giờ oán thán
   Dù trong, đục, vơi, đầy.

      THE LOVE

    The love isn’t a flower
    The flower crumbs in the unbearable afternoon
    The love isn’t a dream.
    The dream changes into the night region

    The love isn’t a salangane
    Returning its nest when it is warm
    The love isn’t a sand shore
    To know and wait for sea kissing

    The love is the immense sea
    To receive a bright red river.
    The river leans on the sea
    When it is sunlight as well as rain

    The sea waits for every season
    When the river is full or shallow water
    The sea complains for never
    Although the river is pure or impure
