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
helicopter's 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 colour,
my hair and my little feet
That have carried me
every mile of the way.
Want to see your house, your
streets. Show me all I do not know.
Wooden sampans, floatings
markets, light of gold.
All I know of you is the sights of war.
A film by Coppola, the
helicopter's 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.
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 my 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 my soul
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello...Vietnam
To say hello...Vietnam
To say in chao...Vietnam.
