Look, and love everyone. - Ho Xuan Huong

Ghé mắt trông ngang thấy bảng treo,
Kìa đến thái thú đứng cheo leo.
Ví đây đổi phận làm trai được,
Thì sự anh hùng há bấy nhiêu!

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.

Sisters, do you know how it is? On one hand,
the bawling baby; on the other, your husband
sliding onto your stomach,
his little son still howling at your side.
Yet, everything must be put in order,
Rushing around all helter-skelter.
Husband and child, what obligations!
Sisters, do you know how it is?
