1. I Return to Visit Your Hometown
I will return to visit your homeland, Nghe An
With the gentle Lam River flowing like a silk ribbon
Winding around the cornfields and rice paddies
A small boat softly stirs the water on the river
Your homeland still holds the victories of the past
Imprinted in the golden pages of history
Passed down through generations and carefully preserved
For the future and for eternity
The more I visit, the more I am amazed by it all
Listening to the traditional folk songs
Moved by the deep affection of the people here
So sweet, so full of love, don’t you think?
In your hometown, I remember every name
Like Thanh Chuong, Nghi An, and Nghi Loc
I remember every mountain pass and winding road
The people here endure hardships with strength
Their kindness shines brightly even in adversity
Their hearts are full of warmth, loyalty, and diligence
I long to visit with you again
To see the tea island in the warmth of spring
We will take a photo to remember this moment
The love for this homeland will always guide our journey...

2. Come to Nghe An with Me
Listening to the sweet folk songs of Nghe An
My heart stirs, and it is not easily forgotten
The spirit of the homeland is deeply embedded in me
I love the land of my mother, heavy with memories
The people of Nghe An are always eager to embrace the world
They don’t compare the lowlands with the sky above
The love between us is boundless and unbroken
Deep as the salt of the sea, sharp as the ginger's bite
They love fiercely, with complete devotion
The fire of passion quickly ignites new connections
We wait for each other with patience, as love grows
Countless feelings, thousands of memories—no distance is too great
Come back with me to that ferry crossing
Let’s lift our bond to new heights
The simple, loving village awaits
Still waiting, still hoping to share our love
The promises we made, strong and firm
Our love will endure, loyal forever
Let’s be together always, our fates intertwined.

4. Always Thirsting for Cua Lo...
The sun shines warmly, casting golden light on the sandy shore
It glitters like a beautiful ribbon of light
Creating a graceful arc, bending towards the horizon
As the dawn breaks, the air hums with a melody of love...
Cua Lo... the ocean stretches out, a deep and endless blue
The earth and sky here are tender and serene
The Lan Chau Islet is a stunning sight
And the Ngư and Mắt Islets are a boundless sea of affection...
The sea is calm, its waves gentle and quiet
The evening sun sets, casting shadows across the sky
The entire region is a vast, cooling oasis
As kites fill the wind, drifting softly in the sky...
At night, Cua Lo sparkles with a magical glow
The Bình Minh Road shines in brilliant colors
The sea hums with joy as the moonlight dances in gold
Boats sail into the distance, their lanterns twinkling far away...
Cua Lo... in the midst of the boundless sky and sea
In the heart of a burning desire, like the scorching sun
As if the waves themselves want to rise up, crashing against the shore
Endlessly, always longing... Cua Lo...

5. The Homeland of the Dragon Mountain
My homeland is blessed by the Lam River
The sweet melodies of the ví dặm echo, weaving like silk across the shores
The endless fields of mulberry trees and rice paddies
Season after season, bearing the weight of fertile silt.
Have you visited your parents, dear?
So I may return, following the song's call
Cửa Hội stretches wide, Cửa Lò extends far
Anger may rise, but longing only grows...
My homeland has the majestic Hồng Mountain
Silent and steady beside the Lam River, casting its shadow
The towering pine trees cheer joyously in the high winds
As the eternal love of Hồng and Lam flourishes.
The soul of the river and mountains resonates
The triumph of the soldiers in their worn garments
A nation’s foundation, a land that stretches endlessly
Quang Trung built the capital, fortifying with the Phoenix walls.
Our homeland, since time immemorial
Has weathered fierce storms, the harsh winds of Laos
Winters so cold, they cut into the bone
Hands shaking, planting rice in the deep fields.
Through hardships, we stood by one another
Our ancestors went to battle, and we rise in their footsteps
Unity and love, taught by our forebears
The spirit of heroes, true to our lineage.
Even far from home, our hearts remain true
We remember the Hoàng Trù Mountain, remember Sen Village, the hometown of Uncle Ho
Though voices may have changed over time
Our honesty remains, as steady as the rice fields and bamboo groves.
The Bến Thủy Bridge connects our two lands
Hand in hand, we cross the river like the lines of Kiều
The Lam River flows, as it has for millennia
The Hồng Lĩnh Mountains rise, turning into a Dragon.

6. The Song of My Homeland
As evening falls, the song of my homeland rises
The Lam River flows gently, reflecting the sky's blue and the clouds
The yearning melody invites you to come
Oh, how I wish you'd visit, just once, to feel the warmth.
Come with me, your eyes sparkling
We’ll watch the still river, growing closer as we go
The oars dip, creating ripples on the water
The ví dặm song whispers softly, like the beating of a heart.
The bond of love is unbreakable
No matter where life takes you, the longing for home endures
You follow the song’s call, returning to the land
The tranquil beauty of the rivers and mountains, where memories stir.
The sweet verses of ví dặm echo
My heart is intoxicated, and I don't want to leave
The rhythm of the song rings clear
Our Nghệ homeland’s tune, so rich and tender.
Join me in every melody of love
Come back to my homeland, where spring feels endless.
Poem: Ngọc Liên
7. Returning to Nghệ An
I always speak of the beauty of my homeland
The land of Nghệ An, so captivating
Behold the mountains and rivers shining bright
This is where the echoes of heroes still resound.
In Nam Đàn, Bội Châu’s revolutionary spark
Called the people to march toward Đông Du
Visit Kim Liên, then head to Hoàng Trù
Where mother’s lullaby once filled the humble home.
Sen village still holds memories tight
The thatched roofs from childhood days
The birthplace of grand dreams and ambitions
The world remembers, this is where Hồ Chí Minh was born.
Hưng Nguyên, a place rich with revolutionary spirit
Lê Hồng Phong stood firm with the Party
Minh Khai’s courage, a testament of strength
Heroes were born here, their legacy eternal.
In Thanh Chương, jackfruit season arrives
Try the nhút, a taste of tradition
Nam Đàn’s fermented soy dip is famous
These culinary treasures, part of the poetry of life.
Let me tell you more, if you will listen
The eel noodle soup, known far and wide
Its fame has spread across the globe
Don’t forget to bring some home for the children.
Cửa Lò beach, a beautiful sight
Fishing boats far off, bringing in the fresh catch
The land’s flavors, rich and pure
Crabs, shrimp, and fish, come sail with me.
The special taste of Yên Thành’s rat meat
Fresh milk from TH True Milk, a delight
I invite you to eat your fill
Let’s sing together, united by our love for the homeland.
The ví dặm tune captivates the soul
Even in moments of anger, love remains
The river’s song calls you to return
My boat is waiting at the shore of love.
Thành Vinh, the heart of Nghệ An
The conical hats, a gift for you
The grand square and the growing university
A place with a refreshing climate, where home is found.
The invitation to return to my homeland is here
Come with me, as the paddle guides us
Nghệ An’s love will always be enough
The people and the land, both old and new, filled with affection.

8. Visiting Uncle Hồ’s Homeland
The Lam River, so vast and clear
The roads of Nam Đàn shaded by trees
Today I’ve come here, once again
To visit the homeland of Uncle Hồ, in this peaceful day
Here lies the cradle where he once lay
Echoes of his mother’s lullabies still linger
How I love the land of Hoàng Trù
The rice fields sway with the breeze, and the kites soar high
The ví dặm tune holds countless meanings
The shuttle of the loom still hums
The thatched roof welcomes the golden sunlight
The hibiscus fence by the areca trees stands still
The old jackfruit tree bears fruit in abundance
The well water is clear, the stones stacked with care
Sen village was once a humble place
The forge at the gate blazed brightly, fires burning red
Uncle Hồ’s image is reflected in everything here
Blending with both the past and the future
The road ahead is long and full of challenges
But we will move forward, never turning back
Our nation rejoices in its renewal
Unified, we strive for prosperity
Freedom, independence, and peace
This is the gift we offer on his birthday.
Poem by: Nguyễn Như
9. Returning to Nghệ An with You
If you ever have the chance, invite me to Nghệ An
To visit your homeland, a place of heroic ancestors
The summer sun is intense, as if it could melt the earth
Yet, the beauty here fills me with sweet longing
Cửa Lò Beach awaits the coming summer
The crystal-clear waters are a perfect vacation spot
In Vinh City, take a moment to stop
The entertainment areas and Uncle Hồ’s monument stand proud
Listen to the songs that echo here
Words of love and anger that tug at the heart
The Lam River, oh how it makes me long
It carries memories of my childhood
In Kim Liên, where Uncle Hồ was born
This humble land raised a great hero
Visit once, and you’ll find yourself forever drawn to it
The guide there is as beautiful as the land itself
If time allows, let’s head to Thanh Chương
There we’ll admire the rolling tea hills
And don’t forget to visit Truông Bồn, where history was made
The land of Nghệ An will leave its mark on your heart
Anyone who visits will carry its memory for life
Your homeland may be modest, but its charm is eternal
Come here, and you’ll never forget the warmth of its people.

10. My Homeland
I am a girl from Nghệ An
My home is in Nam Đàn, dear
If you pass by, I invite you to visit
The Lam River flows, rising and falling with the day
My homeland is blessed with fertile fields
Two harvests a year, and kites flying in the childhood sky
The scenery here is like a poem
With the majestic Đại Tuệ mountain, and the Dong Pagoda
The fragrant rice pairs perfectly with fresh fish
So many beautiful sights, it’s hard to leave
The buffalo graze peacefully by the dike
The sound of music echoes in the air
Friends and family gather in harmony
Visit Uncle Hồ’s homeland, it feels like one big family
Tourists from all over come and go
Come, I invite you to visit just once.
Poem by: Phạm Tuyết
