When I was young
I thought I knew it all
My mom would tell me
The stories of
Our home
The fields of rice
The lullabies
She was singing
To me
It’s been so long ago
Oh
It seems so far away
And now I realize
I’ve never
Seen you before
Vietnam your
Beauty lies within
Sweetest dreams of
Whispering winds
I hear your voice
Inside of me
Telling me
Who I am
Who I am
Vietnam your
Beauty resonates
Water flows through
Your thousand lakes
One day I will
Find my way
To where it all began
And say
Tôi là người Việt Nam
I long to know
About my beginning
The meaning of
My name
My golden skin
Little towns
Sacred temples where my
Ancestors watch
Over me
It’s been so long ago
Oh
It seems so far away
But no matter
Where I go
Where I was born
I'll always know
A part of you
Is deep in my heart
Vietnam your
Beauty lies within
Sweetest dreams of
Whispering winds
I hear your voice
Inside of me
Telling me
Who I am
Who I am
Vietnam your
Beauty resonates
Water flows through
Your thousand lakes
One day I will
Find my way
To where it all began
And say
Tôi là người Việt Nam
Your beauty lies within
Your beauty resonates
Your beauty lies within
Vietnam deep
In my heart
Từ trong tim tôi
Mãi là người
Việt Nam
Vietnam your
Beauty lies within
Sweetest dreams of
Whispering winds
I hear your voice
Inside of me
Telling me
Who I am
Who I am
Vietnam your
Beauty resonates
Water flows through
Your thousand lakes
One day I will
Find my way
To where it all began
And say
Tôi là người Việt Nam
