Tho Ho Xuan Huong - Quả mít - Jackfruit
Thân em như quả mít trên cây
Da nó sù sì, múi nó dày
Quân tử có yêu thì đóng cọc
Xin đừng mân mó nhựa ra tay.
By Hồ Xuân Hương

The Jackfruit
I am like a jackfruit on the tree.
To taste you must plug me quick, while fresh:
the skin rough, the pulp thick, yes,
but oh, I warn you against touching --
the rich juice will gush and stain your hands
Translated by Nguyen Ngoc Bich

Jackfruit
My body is like the jackfruit on the branch:
my skin is coarse, my meat is thick.
Kind sir, if you love me, pierce me with your stick.
Caress me and sap will slicken your hands.
translated from the Vietnamese by John Balaban
