A few years or more 

Did Vietnam flourishly grow

Through legends, dragons and fairies,

And eggs that count a hundred

And love that did divide

Through mountainous beginnings 

To watery corners and ends

And did the lovers divide to half

Their children followed their plan

To Dragons

Or Fairies,

They still were a glow

Their parents formed in love then to hate.

Vengeance was bittersweet in these children

Greet till they turned to many different tribes

Au Viet, Lac Viet, and many over told.

T'was then Au Viet united Lac Viet and itself,

To new beginnings and more further doubt.

This time was short and was indeed,

To Chinese invasions guaranteed,

which was true,

But invasions led to disobedience

For new things begin from the old. 

Nam Viet was thy name of the country,

To new dimensions were in it's view.

To the Han Dynasty did they overthrow, 

For Nam Viet was what Han took, never gained back.

To Trung Sisters they took, more time for more and more woe.

To Elephants and more inside the war, they won and overthrew their lord.

However did they fail once again, again and again did they try. 

To twice a beginning was very tragic, one to tell and the other to come.
