1
On a field of red one gold star
2
Raised above his head
3
Raised above his head
4
He was not like any other
5
He was just like any other
6
And the song they bled
7
Was a hymn to him
8
Awake my little one
9
The seed of revolution
10
Sewn in the sleeve
11
Of cloth humbly worn
12
Where others are adorned
13
Above the northern plain
14
The great birds fly
15
With great wings
16
Over the paddy fields
17
And the people kneel
18
And the men they toil
19
Yet not for their own
20
And the children are hungry
21
And the wheel groans
22
There before a grass hut
23
A young boy stood
24
His mother lay dead
25
His sisters cried for bread
26
And within his young heart
27
The seed of revolution sewn
28
In cloth humbly worn
29
While others are adorned
30
And he grew into a man
31
Not like any other
32
Just like any other
33
One small man
34
A beard the color of rice
35
A face the color of tea
36
Who shared the misery
37
Of other men in chains
38
With shackles on his feet
39
Escaped the guillotine
40
Who fought against
41
Colonialism imperialism
42
Who remained awake
43
While others slept
44
Who penned like Jefferson
45
Let independence ring
46
And the cart of justice turns
47
Slow and bitterly
48
And the people were crying
49
Plant that seed that seed
50
And they crawled on their bellies
51
Beneath the giant beast
52
And filled the carts with bodies
53
Where once had been their crops
54
And the great birds swarm
55
Spread their wings overhead
56
And his mother dead
57
And the typhoons and the rain
58
The jungles in flames
59
And the orange sun
60
None could be more beautiful
61
Than Vietnam
62
Nothing was more beautiful
63
Than Vietnam
64
And his heart stopped beating
65
And the wheel kept turning
66
And the words he bled
67
Were a hymn to them
68
I have served the whole people
69
I have served my whole country
70
And as I leave this world
71
May you suffer union
72
And my great affection
73
Limitless as sky
74
Filled with golden stars
75
The question is raised
76
Raised above his head
77
Was he of his word
78
Was he a good man
79
For his image fills the southern heart
80
With none but bitterness
81
And the people keep crying
82
And the men keep dying
83
And it's so beautiful
84
So beautiful
85
Give me one more turn
86
Give me one more turn
87
One more turn of the wheel
88
One more revolution
89
One more turn of the wheel
