Top 15 Best Vietnamese Songs to Welcome the New Year

Welcoming Spring

Spring has arrived,
spreading a thousand blossoms in life
Joy fills the dawn,
with birds singing everywhere
Beauty is in the laughter,
bringing love to all life
The light of Spring brings happiness to the world

Look at the sunlight
as Spring flows and spreads
The flowers gently sway,
smiles shyly,
together with every ray of light

Butterflies dance in the gentle breeze
coloring the sky
The birds spread their wings
singing to celebrate the arrival of the bright new season

We hear the winds passionately returning,
like a thousand strings of music
Spring brings joy,
so the blue sky knows no sorrow
Grief fades away
and love fills our hearts
Desiring a bright, peaceful Spring

Together we welcome Spring’s king,
descending to earth
the world listens to the warm embrace of Spring
Flowers no longer wither, their fragrance stays

No one is indifferent
Spring still waits for us
Come, take each other’s hands and sing,
celebrate the Spring of youth...

The sight of blossoming peach flowers, budding apricot trees, or the branches of kumquat trees heavy with fruit along every street signals the arrival of the vibrant spring season.

The First Spring

Then gently, spring returns with the swallows,
the ordinary, joyful season is back,
the dreamed-of spring is here at last.
With smoke rising above the river, and the rooster crowing by the river at noon,
it's a sunny afternoon that stirs every soul.
Then gently, spring returns with the swallows.
The mother looks at her children, now home,
the dreamed-of spring has finally arrived.
With tears on his shoulders, his warmth embraces him,
this joyful moment shines like a spark.
Oh, how we cherish our homeland in this first spring of joy.
Oh, this moment in your hands, the first of a peaceful life.
From here, one learns to love the homeland,
From here, one learns to care for others,
From here, one learns to love people.
Now gently, spring returns with the swallows,
the ordinary, joyful season is back.
This dreamed-of spring once never came,
with smoke rising above the river, and the rooster crowing at noon by the river,
on this vast sunny afternoon.

The imagery of the boundless spring of our country still calls to us, from the warmth of family reunions to the love of couples, from the golden fields to the hearts of every Vietnamese.

Spring Girl

You are like a girl still in the spring of youth,
pure and untouched by the world.
Spring arrives with plum and peach blossoms blooming...
The girl of spring dances like silk on the river's surface.
Spring comes and goes, but spring remains.
The girl in spring arrives again and again,
Spring comes with flowers in full bloom,
The spring girl dances like silk on the river.
Her heart is as red as the rosy spring cheeks,
The spring girl dreams of marriage and love.
Spring goes by, but the girl remains full of hope.
Do you sleep with sadness?
You are like a girl still in the spring of youth,
pure and untouched by the world.
Spring arrives with plum and peach blossoms blooming...
The spring girl dances like silk on the river...

“Spring Girl” has been around for a long time, but it seems to never age, even though the poet has long passed, and the composer is now over 80. It can be said that among the songs about spring in Vietnam, “Spring Girl” remains one of the most exceptional. People sing and listen to it, but few know how it was born. Most only know that “Spring Girl” is a beautiful poem by poet Nguyễn Bính, skillfully set to music. But few know that it was Từ Vũ who gave the melody to this poetic soul.

The Story of the New Year

Composer: Hoài An

On the way to celebrate the first Spring of the year,
After a year of tangled emotions,
The new year brings many hopes and wishes.
We hope for good fortune and little misfortune,
Enjoying the red firecrackers and the wine.

We celebrate another Spring together,
Though Spring may change many times,
We pray to strengthen our bonds of love,
We hold onto the branch of hope with a heart full of wonder.
This year, I will meet my true love!

Spring brings faith and joy,
Like the blossoms of the mai flower, flourishing and bright.
The world changes, but smiles greet each other,
On the motherland, joy is everywhere.
Spring brings prosperity to every place,
And when it departs, it leaves behind fond memories.
We send letters from the front lines,
Write letters to old friends,
One vow not to forget.

We hope for good fortune throughout the year,
For our families to remain full of joy,
On the path of fame and fortune.
When love and destiny are aligned,
We embrace the beautiful Spring into our hands.

At this moment, whether walking in the Spring streets or stopping by a place playing bolero, you'll surely hear the melody: “We celebrate another Spring together, though Spring may change many times, we pray to strengthen our bonds of love…” These lyrics and this melody seem to make every Spring memorable, creating a lasting memory in the hearts of all who hear it, even when the future seems uncertain.

Spring Afternoon

Composer: Ngọc Châu

There was an afternoon, a spring afternoon just like this,
The sunlight overflowed, making your spirit soar.
Spring, love, and the season of renewal,
Has the sky ever been as clear
As when I first locked eyes with you?
Your cheeks, flushed like peach blossoms,
Like love itself, like the arrival of spring.

The essence of spring fills the air with excitement and yearning. Everyone experiences their own emotions during this season. The songs about spring reflect and share these deep feelings, capturing the essence of the season in all its warmth and emotion.

Whisper of Spring

Composer: Ngọc Châu

Each tender sprout, lush and green,
Every droplet of rain sparkling as it falls… spring is here.
And in the gleam of your eyes,
There are hesitant words of love and affection.

Spring has arrived by your side,
And spring has come to be with me… whispering softly.
The breeze gently caresses your hair,
And the wind speaks to you... of longing.

Chorus:
You’ve learned to speak your first words of love,
You’ve learned the feelings of longing and even jealousy.
Spring has come, giving you a kiss,
And spring has bestowed upon you the gaze of his eyes.

And then, you’re captivated… And then, you’re entranced!

Ngọc Châu, the composer, skillfully intertwines personal feelings of love with the vibrant, life-filled atmosphere of spring, creating a song that endures through the years.

After the cold, dreary winter, the trees and nature awaken, stretching into life. Fresh green shoots rise from rough bark. The trees, now clothed in vibrant green, seem to breathe new life and stir deep emotions within all who witness the change.

A Tiny Spring

Composer: Trần Hoàn

Amidst the flowing river, a purple flower blossoms,
The little bird sings, its melody echoing through the sky.
Each sparkling drop falls, and I reach out to catch them,
As spring arrives, with soldiers bearing branches of blossoms,
And farmers working the fields, spreading seeds of life.

A country with four thousand years of struggle and perseverance,
Our land stands like a steadfast star, guiding us forward.
We are the birds singing, the flowers blooming,
Our voices blending together in a harmonious chorus of life.

This spring, a quiet and humble spring, is offered to the world.
Spring, I sing for you with the rhythms of Nam Ai, Nam Bằng,
Across thousands of miles, through the lands of Hue, the pulse of spring beats strong...

This poem by Thanh Hải deeply resonates with Trần Hoàn, capturing the essence of peace and hope, with purple flowers, blue rivers, and the song of birds. The song is filled with the vitality of the people and the optimism for a nation that stands resilient despite hardships. Written in 1980, during a difficult period in the country and for the poet, it remains a testament to the enduring spirit of Vietnam.

The Dragon and Phoenix come together in joy.
Fortune spreads through every corner of the town,
Wishing all for peace and happiness in the year ahead.

Golden apricot blossoms,
Bright red peach flowers,
Wishing the elders long life and prosperity,
And hoping that next year will bring even more blessings than this one.

As families gather around the hearth,
And the green sticky rice cake simmers, awaiting spring.
