Verse 1
Soldiers of Vietnam,
we go forward,
With the one will
to save our Fatherland
Our hurried steps
are sounding on the
long and arduous road
Our flag, red with
the blood of victory,
bears the spirit of
our country
The distant rumbling
of the guns mingles
with our marching
song.
The path to glory
passes over the bodies
of our foes.
Overcoming all hardships,
together we build
our resistance bases.
Ceaselessly for the
people's cause we
struggle,
Hastening to the battle
field!
Forward! All together
advancing!
Our Vietnam is strong
eternal.
Verse 2
Soldiers of Vietnam,
we go forward,
The gold star of our
flag in the wind
Leading our people,
our native land, out
of misery and suffering
Let us join our efforts
in the fight for the
building of a new
life.
Let us stand up and
break our chains.
For too long have
we swallowed our hatred
Let us keep ready
for all sacrifices
and our life will
be radiant.
Ceaselessly for the
people's cause we
struggle,
Hastening to the battlefield!
Forward! All together
advancing!
Our Vietnam is strong
eternal.
