Lyrics
English: Far away on the East Sea at the edge of the sky / The people there live in misery, hunger and poverty / From that suffering He travelled the five continents / With faith in the sun of truth shining its light on his people / Hồ, Hồ, Hồ Chí Minh! Hồ, Hồ, Hồ Chí Minh! Crossing the waves He travelled to every corner of the earth / Tempering his will, nursing hatred in his heart / Day and night Hồ Chí Minh grieved for his enslaved nation / For the savage imperialists trampled his country / Trampling this Indochina, slaughtering so many people The flames of revolution blaze and spread / From the Việt Bắc forest down to Tháp Mười / Hồ Chí Minh, our faith in the struggle for freedom / Wave upon wave the ranks grow, maturing day by day / One united will, destroying the enemy with feats of arms With reverence the whole people call him Old Father / For He lived for all people / Hồ Chí Minh, a spring brimming with faith / He was born of truth for a world at peace / He gave his life for a world at peace / He gave his life, Hồ, Hồ, Hồ Chí Minh, hey! __________ Vietnamese: Miền biển Đông xa tắp nơi chân trời / Người dân ở đó lầm than đói nghèo / Từ đau thương Người đi khắp năm châu / Lòng tin mặt trời chân lý sáng soi rọi chiếu tới dân mình / Hồ, Hố, Hô Chi Mình! Hồ, Hố, Hô Chi Mình! Vượt trùng sóng Người đi khắp phương trời / Luyện tôi ý chí lòng nuôi căm thù / Hồ Chí Minh ngày đêm xót thương dân tộc nô lệ / Vì đế quốc dã man giày xéo đất nước mình / Giày xéo Đông Dương này, tàn…
