Water puppetry

When we were young, we used to go together to watch water puppet shows at village festivals...

Our childhood together
Watch water puppetry during village festivals
Clear water with golden sunlight
A flock of puppets bustling in the countryside pond

There is Uncle Teu happily
Grinning and rubbing his belly, he laughed at the mandarin.
Thach Sanh kills snakes in temple
The sound of the zither surpasses the sound of swords and knives.

Hundreds of wooden shapes floating on the pond surface
Evokes a deep look at the hard work of life
Standing and watching, she held my hand
Ask why the wood speaks with the voice of our village

Hey behind the flower curtain
Artists send our ancestors' voice
How many puppets appear?
So many ups and downs of love

Long time no see village festival
The water puppet village pond tells many stories of life.
