- Nắng lên qua hàng cây, gió mơn man đùa, lả lơi đàn bớm.
Bước chân vui hạnh phúc, nắm tay ta về vùng trời bình yên.- The sun shines through the trees, the wind playfully blows, the butterflies drift.
Taking blissful steps, we hold hands to the peaceful corner of the heavens.
- The sun shines through the trees, the wind playfully blows, the butterflies drift.
