Lyrics

Vietnamese words Giải phóng miền Nam, chúng ta cùng quyết tiến bước. Diệt Đế quốc Mỹ, phá tan bè lũ bán nước. Ôi xương tan máu rơi, long hân thù ngất trời. Sông núi bao nhiêu năm cắt rời. Đây Cửu Long hùng tráng, Đây Trường Sơn vinh quang. Thúc giục đoàn ta xung phong đi giết thù. Vai sát vai chung một bóng cờ. Vùng lên! Nhân dân miền Nam anh hùng! Vùng lên! Xông pha vượt qua bão bùng. Thề cứu lấy nước nhà! Thề hy sinh đến cùng! Cầm gươm, ôm sung, xông tới! Vận nước đã đên rồi. Bình minh chiếu khắp nơi. Nguyện xây non nước sáng tươi muôn đời.

English lyrics To liberate the Southern soil, of one will, we march on, To humiliate the American Empire, and decimate the traitors! Oh, skulls have been broke, and blood spilled! Grudge is rocketing sky-high, as yonder hills and streams have stood divided for so long! Behold! The mighty rivers of the Nine Dragons and the glorious Annamite Range are solemnly entreating our fearless children to deliver a deadly blow to the enemies! How they valiantly march shoulder to shoulder under the protecting shades of our holy Colors! Get up! Ye daring Southern peasants! Get up! Let us advance through hails and storms! We have vowed to shower our fatherland with spoils or bust! Unsheathe your swords! Grab your firearms! Let us sally forth! The Cold War is coming to an end! Lo! The sun has revealed itself! But a fig for that sun! It's the heavenly land we are about to construct that will truly shine!
