Cvetalo je sa vrha planine

Mirno na jakom vetru

Ispod promenljivih oblaka

Sedamsto godina unazad Kralj Buda Tran Nhan Tong

Spustao je glavu dok je prolazio pored njega

Ti i ja

Spuštamo naše glave dok prolazimo pored

Deca spušaju svoje glave

Dok prolaze pored

Kada siđemo sa planine

Srećemo hodočasnike

Kako drže male trske bambusa

Sve oči biće uprte

Dok mi sakupljamo toplotu

Da spalimo cveće do korena

The Flower of Mount Yên Tử

It blooms on the mountain top

Serene in strong winds

Under the clouds of change

Seven hundred years ago

The Buddha King Trần Nhân Tông

Lowered his head when passing by

You and I

Lower our heads when passing by

The children

Also lower their heads

When passing by

As we descend the mountain

We meet the pilgrims

Holding small bamboo canes

All eyes turn upward

As we amass heat to burn the flower to its roots.

(Trans. by Nhat-Lang Le & Susan Blanshard)

Bông hoa Yên Tử

Nở trên đỉnh núi

Thản nhiên trong gió mạnh

Mây bay

Bảy trăm năm trước

Đức - Phật - Hoàng Trần Nhân Tông

Cúi đầu đi qua

Em và tôi

Đang cúi đầu đi qua

Các con và mọi người

Cùng cúi đầu

Đi qua

Xuống chân núi

Gặp đoàn hành hương

Tay gậy trúc

Mắt ngước lên

Thiêu đốt gốc hoa ngùn ngụt.
