餅㵢
身㛪辰𤽸分㛪𧷺,
𠤩浽𠀧沉買渃𡽫。
硍湼默油𢬣几揑,
𦓡㛪刎𡨹𬌓𢚸𣘈。
Bánh Trôi
Thân em thời trắng phận em tròn,
Bảy nổi ba chìm mấy nước non.
Rắn nát mặc dầu tay kẻ nặn,
Nhưng em vẫn giữ tấm lòng son.
Bánh Trôi (Floating Cake)
My body is white; my fate, softly rounded,
rising and sinking like mountains in streams.
Whatever way hands may shape me,
at center my heart is red and true.

餅㵢(一種越南甜點,形似湯圓)
我身潔白而圓潤,
七沉三浮歷山川。
柔軟堅實任人捏,
我心依舊赤誠存。
