Farewell to the “Great Stoveman”

Respectfully dedicate to the spirit of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong!

The Great Stoker Has Passed Away
A big heart just stopped beating!
Please choose your steps carefully so you don't stumble.
Ba Dinh sunshine
It suddenly rained!

He has entered the world of the Ancients.
Meet Marx, Lenin and beloved Uncle Ho
He lay down like many soldiers.
In the midst of the long war against foreign invaders

July gratitude
Please vibrate the bass
Farewell to the One who goes to the land of light
Where the hammer and sickle and the Party flag sparkle
and red with the blood of martyrs and wounded soldiers

Pain is shared, not just mine.
Why did my heart ache when I heard the news?
The summer afternoon is still peaceful, why is my soul stormy?
To the shock, chilly corner of Autumn?

I believe the sun will break through the clouds.
The road to glory will be clear of enemies
Whether it is internal or external invaders from the South or the North
For a fair, democratic and civilized society.
