Your mother waits, heart-weary, at the door.
Your child in hunger cries for its chewed rice.
I feed your mother, serving as her son,
and like a father teach your child to read.

Lòng lão thân buồn khi tựa cửa,
Miệng hài nhi chờ bữa mớm cơm.
Ngọt bùi thiếp đã hiếu nam,
Khuyến con đèn sách thiếp làm phụ thân.
