Lyrics
English: Whose song rings out over our homeland (ớ ơ, ớ ơ), now slow, now quick? / It's the militia training to guard the village, to guard the sky of Soviet Nghệ An / Oh, the water of the Lam River flows down from the mountains / Through Anh Sơn, Thanh Chương, Nam Đàn / Still we hear, still we hear the songs of old echoing Oh (chứ), when will the Lam River ever run dry? / Just like our people's revolutionary spirit / Though storms rage and rain pours (chứ), Soviet Nghệ An is still Nghệ An Whose song rings out over our homeland (ớ ơ, ớ ơ), so lilting to hear? / It's our troops, trenches ready, their songs shaking the camouflage leaves / Oh, this homeland soil so full of love / The drum of the Soviet years once roused the villages / Now, now it seems to stir the hearts of Nghệ An's people Whose song rings out over our homeland (ớ ơ, ớ ơ), so fine? / It's the farmers, gun in one hand, plough in the other, with heavy harvests of maize and rice / Oh, the water of the Lam River flows down from the mountains / Through our villages that raise silkworms and spin silk / Still we hear, still we hear the late-night songs calling the moon Oh (chứ), when will the Lam River ever run dry? / Just like our people's spirit of labour / Though we pass through hardship (chứ), Soviet Nghệ An is still Nghệ An Whose song rings out over our homeland (ớ ơ, ớ ơ), so lilting to hear? / It's the workers of Bến Thuỷ and Mount Thành marching with swords and guns / Oh, savage American invaders, don't you…
