Lyrics
English: In my beloved home village, after my shift on combat duty / I write this letter to send to you (mà) / I write this letter to send to you / All my loving feelings I send to the front line / Where day and night you face the enemy (mà) / Where you are absorbed in fighting to defend our home, so our songs can carry far Hò ơ, ơ ớ ơ hò ơ / You are far away on the front line / While on the home front (ơ) I haul stones to burn lime / And tend the fields (ơ ới hò) This year our village's rice harvest (a) was a triumph / We received a letter (a) of praise from Uncle Hồ / The village is surging past the five-ton target / Big waves and storms, but the boat still sails the open sea / Toiling so hard for plump rice and fresh potatoes / I'm as joyful as the birds fluttering over the fields How thrilling and joyful when you win victories on the battlefield / Easing the longing (a), satisfying those who wait / Every furrow goes deeper, and with this gun I'm ready to fight / Our whole homeland is bustling, producing twice as much / Making even the barren hills yield more rice and potatoes / So that one day the starred flag of victory flies over every battlefield On that day (ơ ớ ơi) you and I will sing together in the green fields ____ Vietnamese: Nơi quê nhà yêu mến, sau giờ em trực chiến / Viết lá thư này em gửi tới anh (mà) / Viết lá thư này em gửi tới anh / Bao tâm tình thương mến em gửi ra trận tuyến / Nơi đó anh ngày đêm giáp mặt với quân thù (mà) / Nơi đó anh mải mê đánh giặc…
