Carrying stones by the hillside we build the road / Filling craters so the trucks can get through to the front / Young and green we set out, brimming with joy / Oh, young friends! We follow Uncle Hồ through every hardship / He toils for all our people Ơ, ớ, our generation is here to save the nation / We vow to volunteer and set off / Our youth are the 'Three Readies' / The front line side by side with the home front Ơ, ớ ơ ơ, only when (mà) the South is liberated (ơ) / And (mà) the country is…
