Lyrics
English: Pair after pair the birds fly off, their song ringing out / Their wings stirred by the spring wind / Birds, carry our loving words to our homeland in the South / Tell them we long for them day and night Dreaming of springs to come, the shape of the future / On our road we climb to build a life among fragrant flowers / Is there any spring as beautiful as The future ahead / When our homeland is green in new clothes, brimming with faith / The road we walk is green with life's dreams The future ahead / Flock of birds, take wing with us / Look — the light of a new horizon is blazing in every direction / Wind and rain, sorrow, winter and fog will all fade away ____ Vietnamese: Từng đôi chim bay đi tiếng ca rộn ràng / Cánh chim xao xuyến gió mùa xuân / Gửi lời chim yêu thương tới miền Nam quê hương / Nhắn rằng ta ngày đêm mong nhớ Ước mơ những mùa xuân bóng dáng tương lai / Đường ta đi lên xây đời trong hoa thơm / Có mùa xuân nào đẹp bằng Về tương lai / Ngày quê hương màu xanh áo mới chứa chan niềm tin / Đường ta đi xanh thắm mộng đời Về tương lai / Đàn chim ơi cùng ta cất cánh / Kìa ánh sáng chân trời mới đang bừng chiếu bốn phương / Gió mưa, buồn thương, mùa đông và mây mù sẽ tan
