Lyrics

English: The kơ tia bird sings high in the tall trees / The Đ'rao bird lifts its voice in greeting / Spring has come to the mountains and forests of Tây Nguyên / The mountains and forests of my homeland Streams murmur, singing far and wide / Like the age-old song of the mountains and forests / Spring comes with the sound of the t'rưng / Joyfully ringing through my homeland Hail, mountains and forests of Tây Nguyên / Putting on new clothes, rejoicing this season / Hear the birds singing in celebration / The hearts of Tây Nguyên's people are pure Hail, mountains and forests of our homeland / On the rock faces a thousand words are written / Forever recording our debt to Uncle Hồ / And the heart of Tây Nguyên, our homeland The trees change their leaves and grow greener / The ê ban flowers show off their colours at the branch tips / Spring comes with the laughter of children / And the new school in my village Jungle fowl crow at dawn in the distant fields / The fragrance of good new rice in every home / Spring comes with the rice pestles night after night / Pounding in rhythm through our homeland Hail, mountains and forests of Tây Nguyên / We fight with one heart / So that spring stays beautiful in the mountains and forests / The beloved forests of Tây Nguyên Hail, mountains and forests of our homeland / Hear the streams singing ten thousand words / Hear the forest trees giving thanks to the revolution / And the heart of Tây Nguyên, our homeland ____ Vietnamese: Chim kơ tia hót…
