Vietnam
(Minh Trí & Việt Thi) 2004
My people, my pride, my homeland, my honor
My culture, my custom, my country, my color
This is my motherland
This is my earth and sand
This is where i call home
This is where i belong
Four thousand years of history that we reflect
My culture and values is about respect
So i bow my head to all our heroes
And light an incant to rested souls
Who fear not death to save our people
Though we are small
We still stand tall
Through all the wars
Pick ourselves up after we fall
Cause my culture's tough and my people are determine
When the going get rough we keep on coming
Vietnam, let me hear you say, Vietnam
Vietnam, whenever you say, Vietnam
Chorus:
Black & Sliky is my hair
The color of my skin is yellow
I'm proud of being who i am
I'll never ever be a shame
Got a straw hat (nón lá) on my head
I like to wear my sexy "áo dài"
I'm proud of being who i am
I'll never ever be a shame
Over a thousand year foreign colonization
We've always prevailas an independent nation
We wiped our tears and persevered
We've beat north and conquered the south
We've defeated the east and humiated the west,
Though we are small
We still stand tall
Through all the wars
Pick ourselves up after we fall
Cause my culture's tough and my people's determine
When the going get rough we keep on coming
Vietnam, let me hear you say, Vietnam (x2)
(Chorus)
Vietnam, let me hear you say, Vietnam (x4)
