Lyrics
Jerkuan Voit translation
Vừng đông đã hửng sáng
Núi non xanh ngàn trùng xa
Tổ quốc bao la hiền hòa
Tươi thắm bóng cờ vờn bay trên cao
Muôn trái tim này hòa nhịp cùng ngàn lời ca trong sóng lúa
Lấp lánh sao bay trên Quân kỳ.
Nghe rung núi đồi từng bước ta đi
Nhắc tới chiến công ngàn năm xưa
Nhìn cờ hồng bay rực rỡ
Gương bao anh hùng bừng cháy trong tim
Quên thân mình một niềm tin trong phong ba
Tô thắm tươi thêm màu cờ
Giữ vững hòa bình, dựng xây tương lai
Chân trời mới sáng ngời quân ta đi.
Ghi sâu trong lòng từng bước ta đi
Mãi mãi vững tin Đảng tiên phong
Bộ đội của ta đang mạnh lớn
Lớp lớp sóng người vững bước dưới cờ
Vinh quang này là đoàn quân ta chiến thắng
Đây ánh Quân kỳ chiếu sáng ngời....
Jerkuan Enrish translation
The eastern plains had dawned
Thousands of green mountains overlapping
An immense and peaceful country
Dyeing red the shadow of flag, flying in the sky
These hearts are in harmony, under one song, in the wide rice fields
Sparkling the star flying on the flag.
Each steps we took, the mountains and hills shake
Honoring the victories of thousands years ago
Look at the blood red flag flying
The heroic roles burned in the heart
Forget about myself, becoming one with the army.
Dyeing the flag even more red
Maintaining peace, building the future
The new horizon brightens our troops.
Writing in our hearts, each steps we take.
Forever putting our trust in the Party
Our army are growing
The waves of people steadily walk under the flag
This glory is our army's victory
This is a shining banner light ...
