The soul of Vietnamese history

1

World events consist lots of changes with ups and downs

Please learn Vietnamese history well

Review and contemplate every detail

Gain insight into the meaning of each sentence

“An egg cell” does not give birth to “egg-like”

A magic crossbow cannot be created by a god

Why did a three-year-old boy become Thanh Giong

Did an iron horse vigorously chase away invaders?

Please learn Vietnamese history well

The North was dominated for thousands of years – countless resentments

Read the page of the uprising of Lady Trung Trac

The sound of Me Linh Drum can still be heard echoing

The Bach Dang River was covered with enemy blood

Ngo Quyen’s tombstone will forever be preserved

“Thousands of years, the old mirror reflects ancient times”

Live in a way that demonstrates heroism

3

Living in a way that shows heroism

We must thoroughly study our ancestors’ history

“God” Poetry – Southern Kingdom… conquering the Tong army

Dong A’s pride intimidated the Mongols

Twice Tong was violated, twice it failed

Three Mongol battles, three ended in defeat

Poems and words of exhortation to the military generals of the past

Forever echoing throughout the country

4

Dear, Vietnamese people – like offspring of Fairy and Dragon

Everyone’s blood – Lac Long’s blood!

The little boy Giong, at three years old, defeated the enemy

Lady Trung went into battle in the guise of women

China and the Mongols – naturally violent armies

They also defeated by our ancestors

Now pondering the poem “God” and gazing at the sea and islands

Heartbroken, because of the sorrow of the country!
