Lyrics
English: We lay a pontoon bridge across the river, joining the lifeline of transport / Rising over the raging waves as the floodwaters spread far and wide / From upstream racing down, from downstream hurrying up / Hands tighten every bolt so the bridge holds firm and whole This river is the front line, this bridge of ours is a stronghold / The engineer troops are at their positions, ready / The waves rock as the convoy crosses, our artillery crosses the river / Gun barrels raised high, looking up at the night stars / Hưm hừm hưm, hưm hứm hưm hưm, hưm hưm hừm hứm hưm, hứm hưm Though flares light up around us, bombs whistle and bullets scream around us / Let them bomb and strafe, our hands will not falter / Aim true at the flock of black crows, through bullets and bombs we push on / Determined to protect every pontoon section, sections of our own guts With deep hatred for the American invaders, we fear no hardship / We still stand proud and take you on / Going into this battle we must take revenge, the artillery's parting words / For our comrades who gave their lives and shed their blood beside this bridge / Destroy all those American troops in today's battle ____ Vietnamese: Cầu phao bắc ngang sông, ta nối mạch máu giao thông / Vượt lên sóng dữ, mưa lũ dâng tràn mênh mông / Từ thượng lưu lao về xuôi, từ hạ lưu mau ngược lên / Tay xiết chặt từng ốc đinh cho cầu vững liền Đây dòng sông là trận tuyến, đây cầu ta là cứ điểm / Đội ngũ công binh trận địa sẵn sàng / Sóng dập dờn…
