Soaring Egrets

* That lovely playful egrets just flew away

They were leaving the ivory tower for the rice fields

Don't you know, my fellow countrymen?

* Kỳ Lừa Town is in Đồng Đăng District the place where the legendary Lady of the Tô lived before and where the Tam Thanh Temple is located

Don't you know, my fellow countrymen?

* That was the Lạng Region where a new bride was going to with her man

How sorry she was for her parents after all these years having taken care of her

Don't you know, my fellow countrymen?

* But whenever her man had a bottle of wine in his hands, he would forget everything that she had told him

Don't you know, my fellow countrymen?

* That was it! She realized that all her precious gold dowry had been lost in the Ngô River

Yet, at night in her dream she would wander about the Thương River to look for it

Don't you know, my fellow countrymen?
