1. 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.

[ĐK:]
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”.

2. 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.

[ĐK]

* Your beauty lies within
Your beauty resonates
Vietnam deep in my heart
Từ trong tim tôi mãi là người Việt Nam.
