Tâm Tình
Có những ước mơ, tâm tình, và nguyện xin
Chia với tha nhân, mong đời người thêm tươi:
Nên đơn sơ giống trẻ thơ,
Mang niềm vui đến cho mọi người,
Giúp kẻ khốn khó, thảo kính mẹ cha,
Trung thành, thật thà, và trên môi luôn nở nụ cười...
Cho những ai còn đang khó khăn được nâng đỡ nhiều
Cho những ai còn đang vất vơ được nơi tựa nương
Đấu tranh nhường cho ôn hòa,
Tối tăm nhường ánh sáng ngày
Xin cho hòa bình, nơi nơi thế giới yên vui
Nếu ra đi, nhẹ như áng mây hạnh phúc cuối đời
Những áng mây chở che thế nhân, bao người thân thương
Vững tin và luôn hy vọng
Thứ tha và được tha thứ
Xin cho một lòng, luôn luôn biết mến yêu người.
The joy and happiness of a good life
must be ensured for our children
regardless of who they are and where they stand...
