This is a very pretty but poignant song.
"Hello Vietnam" "Xin Chào Việt Nam" (Bonjour Vietnam)
Phạm Quỳnh Anh
Tell me all about this name, that is difficult to say
It was given me the day I was born
Want to know about the stories of the empire of old
My eyes say more of me than what you dare to say
All I know of you is all the sights of war
A film by Coppola, the helicopters roar
One day I'll touch your soil
One day I'll finally know your soul
One day I'll come to you
To say "Hello Vietnam"
Tell me all about my color, my hair and my little feet
That have carried me every mile of the way
Want to see you house, your streets. Show me all I do not know
Wooden sampans, floating markets, light of gold
All I know of you is all the sights of war
A film by Coppola, the helicopters roar
One day I'll walk you soil
One day I'll finally know your soul
One day I'll come to you
To say "Hello Vietnam"
And Buddha's made of stone watch over me
My dreams they lead me through the fields of rice
In prayer, in the light...I see my kin
I touch my tree, my roots, my begin
One day I'll walk your soil
One day I'll finally know your soul
One day I'll come to you
To say "Hello Vietnam"
One day I'll walk your soil
One day I'll finally know your soul
One day I'll come to you
To say "Hello Vietnam"
To say "Hello Vietnam"
To say "Xin Chào Việt Nam"
