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 ouh 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 ouh 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 Your beauty resonates 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”
