Here at this bridge we'll go our separate ways—
forlorn beside the road, I watch flags fly.

— Đặng Trần Côn

Hà lương chia rẽ đường này,
Bên đường, trông bóng cờ bay ngùi ngùi.

More quotes by Đặng Trần Côn

At daybreak, heralds speed them through the mists—
the law outweighs what they may feel inside.

I see you off and sorrow—Oh, to be
your horse on land, your vessel on the stream!

Serve well your country with a true-red heart.
Defend your people with an iron will.

To silver may age never turn your hair!
And may I ever keep the looks of youth!

Winds howl and howl at ghosts of those war's killed—
on soldiers' faces shines the stalking moon.
O men, alive or dead, has anyone
portrayed your faces or invoked your souls?
