Painting of Nguyễn Sáng (1923-1988): Young woman of Việt Nam, 1976, lacquer, 80×50 cm.
Woman of Việt Nam
With cloudy shiny hair, gentle and beautiful
Sparkling bright eyes
Tilting the conical hat, the smile blossomed
Past and present, for the country or the family
The shoulders are truly capable of carrying the burden
Uncle Hồ gave “eight golden words”
Praising heroic Vietnamese women
In the past, Bà Triệu and Bà Trưng
Defeated the Northern army with brilliant martial arts skills
Destroying enemies, liberated the country
Ms Khai, Ms Sáu… are heroes of nowadays
Devoting their mind and hands
Business, production, farming increase…
Talented women
Contribute to building a prosperous country
Faithful and loyal
Beautiful women of Việt Nam
