Lyrics
English: The mountains and forests of our homeland are lovely in spring, bathed in sunshine / Trucks speed straight along the road past new villages / We hear the streams sing an age-old melody of love / In the green forest, maize and rice dry golden on the hillside fields How could we forget the dark days of old, hunger, cold and misery / The long winter nights when the Mèo hamlet lay in ruins, not knowing when spring would come / Today's happiness — the villages remember their debt to Uncle Hồ / Even the mountains and forests sing ten thousand words of praise Our Việt Bắc homeland is proud to follow Uncle Hồ / He passed on to us a great love / When one autumn morning His voice warmed the mountains and forests / Young and old watched His indigo-clad figure going by Wherever there was hardship, oppression and pain, great resolve was nurtured with steadfast courage / All looked to the Việt Bắc war zone, bright with the red fire of struggle / A new life built from the days of rice with salt and wild greens / The villages are bound in loyal love to Him for a thousand years However many trees the forest has, they can't match His merit / We send so much love to the Capital / We follow Uncle across rapids and hardships / The melody of the then song still rings in our hearts Tây Nguyên still burns with fire, smoke and grievance, as American bombs burn the villages / Heeding Uncle Hồ, Việt Bắc rises up to stand by its brothers / Beloved Fatherland, we are proud to have Uncle Hồ /…
