Surely her sweetheart waiting by the stream / No, no, no / She is going to teach the little ones who cannot yet read, high on the mountaintop Ơ, how hard-working the Tày teacher is / The Party sent her up here to help the Mèo people / With her own hands she built that new school / Hands making desks, hands making benches, hands holding books, hands holding the lute Hearing the teacher's happy music, the children come to school / When lessons are over, by the clear stream in the afternoon sun, she bathes the children and washes their clothes The swallows return, calling the forest onto a new road / Someone's music still echoes in our ears / The Tày teacher is like a spring field / That we Mèo people have planted beside the great waterfall / Like the ban flowers blooming fresh and lovely on the hills / When the new sunlight spreads everywhere Tày teacher, don't go home, we'll be cross with you / The school is here, and the people with their high fields are still waiting / Where are you going? Surely to the front with your sweetheart to fight the enemy / No, no, no / She has come back to the Mèo village, which longs for her day and night Ơ, how dear the Tày teacher is / The Party sent her up here to help the Mèo people / She saves her salary to feed any child in need / Beautiful is the bond of class love, the Mèo just…
