VINH DANH
NHỮNG VÌ SAO ĐẤT NƯỚC

Tháng Tư về khơi mối hận
thiên thu
Mây tang phủ lên bầu trời
Quốc Tổ
Nhớ bao anh hùng thơm danh
muôn thuở
NAM, PHÚ, VỸ, HƯNG, HAI,
CẨN...tên Người !
Trước cọc bắn vẫn đanh thép ý
lời:
"Muốn nhìn sông núi
trước giờ gục chết !"
Lẫm liệt oai phong một trang
hào kiệt
Cọp ba đầu rằn HỒ NGỌC CẨN
lưu danh !
Tướng Biệt Động Quân liêm
khiết, đa năng
Huấn luyện, tham mưu, chiến
trận bao năm
Tên TRẦN VĂN HAI sử vàng ghi
đậm
Vận nước suy tàn - tiết tháo
hy sinh !
Xin nghiêng mình chào NGUYỄN
KHOA NAM hùng anh
Hổ Tướng miền Tây theo thành
tự sát
Loạt đạn nổ vang thay lời thề
"Sát Đát !"
Rừng núi chuyển rung bạt vía
giặc thù !
Bình
Long, An Lộc - song Lê anh hùng
Gương tử thủ nêu cao, nức
lòng quân sĩ
NGUYÊN VỸ, VĂN HƯNG lừng danh
thế kỷ
Bia khắc danh đề - thanh sử
muôn thu !
Tiếc thương PHẠM VĂN PHÚ
Kontum, Pleiku
Vị danh tướng của bao thời
trận mạc
Khí hùng anh nào để lọt vào
tay giặc ?
Kết liễu đời mình - độc dược
quyên sinh !
Hồn thiêng sông núi tiếp dẫn
hương linh
Quý danh tướng và bao anh
hùng dân tộc
Tháng Tư đại tang triệu hồn
bật khóc
Thắp nén nhang lòng tưởng
niệm anh linh !
PHẠM HOÀI

GLORIFYING
OUR BRILLIANT NATIONAL STARS
OUR BRILLIANT NATIONAL STARS
Black April arouses our
infinite resentment,
Our Country has been mourning since the endgame,
But it revives our memories of our immortal heroes...
Nam, Phu, Vy, Hung, Hai, Can - What fame !
At the execution stake, he kept his words firm:
"I want to behold my Motherland before departing Her !"
He refused the blindfold, the three-headed striped Tiger,
Ho Ngoc Can's eminent glory, nothing can ever blur.
As Ranger Commander, Training Chief, Staff Officer,
Then Combat Leader, Tran Van Hai evaded shame.
He chose death since the Great Cause had declined,
But for his integrity and valor History retains his name.
Let us bow farewell to gallant Nguyen Khoa Nam,
The Lion of the West killed himself as his bulwark fell.
The fired shots resounded in place of warriors' oath
Shaking the ground, frightening the foes as well.
Binh-Long and An-Loc, the two LE family Victors,
Set for their men encouraging examples of resistance.
Nguyen Vy, Van Hung, the renowned of the century,
Had their sagas noted for their monumental existence.
How we regret Pham Van Phu of Kontum, Pleiku...
Strong minded through so many an impossible mission
Not to let himself get captured again by the brigands;
He took a dose of poison to voice his steady position.
May the Sacred Spirit of our Homeland welcome
These and other heroes' noble souls to the Holy Hall.
Let us by the millions in Black April, in deep mourning,
Light our heart's incense to commemorate them all.
