Đào đâm chồi nẩy lộc
Mai nở đón Xuân sang.
Mai nở đón Xuân sang.
Literal English Translation version:
Budding peach tree branches
Golden flowering plum blossoms signal the coming of Spring.
Writer’s Notes
Familiar imagery of budding peach tree branches (cành đào) and golden flowering plum blossoms (hoa mai) is the sign of Tet.
And that the simplicity of this year’s Vietnamese "Tết" New Year couplet is meant to highlight the essence of life itself.
