Lyrics

English: Rise up, wind, so our boats can put out to sea / Free on the wide ocean, our hearts as vast as sea and sky / Sails set straight for the open sea, we cast and haul the nets together / Riding the waves home, our boats' holds full of fish We put out to sea when the waves roar, whatever the raging wind / Or glide over the waves when the sky is calm and the sea gentle / We put out in the dark of night or under the blazing sun / Following the shoals, we help build a happy life / Sing out so our boat songs echo everywhere / Rise up, wind, so our boats can put out to sea Rise up, wind, so our boats can put out to sea / We militia stand ready for our homeland, guns never leaving our side / Our coastal homeland has endless casuarina forests / Golden sand dunes dotted with rows of coconut palms How deeply we love our country and our village / Our hearts send word by the birds to our home / When in the dark night the pirates still lurk here / We'll make them pay at once for our blood-and-bone hatred / Guns on our shoulders, we board our boats for the sea / Rise up, wind, so our boats can put out to sea ____ Vietnamese: Gió lên đi cho thuyền ta ra khơi / Thênh thang trên biển rộng, lòng ta như biển trời / Buồm thẳng ra khơi quăng chài tay chung kéo lưới / Vượt sóng trở về thuyền ta khoang cá đầy Ra khơi lúc sóng gầm mặc gió điên cuồng / Hoặc lướt sóng khi trời yên biển lành / Ra khơi trong bóng đêm hay lúc trời lửa nắng cháy / Theo luồng cá đi ta góp sức xây đời vui / Hát lên đi…
