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.
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Em7
All I know of you is all the sights of war.
Dm G
A film by Coppola, the helicopter's roar.

F G Am (for the whole part)
One day I'll touch your soil.
One day I'll finally know my soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.

Tell me all about my colour, my hair and my little feet

Wooden sampans, floating 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 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

One day I'll touch 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 xin chào… Vietnam
