I came across this song while watching Paris By Night (can't remember the number). They introduced a Vietnamese Belgian girl named Pham Quynh Anh and her voice and her looks was so beautiful. I instantly fell in love with this song. She has been performed around Europe with a very famous singer Marc Lavoine and he wrote this song for her. She is one of our Vietnamese pride!
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 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
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, 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 touch your soil.
One day I'll finally know my soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.
And Buddhas made of stone watch over me
My dreams they lead me through the fields of rice
In prayer, in the lightI see my kin
I touch my tree, my roots,my begin.
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
