The sun rises over the hills,
How happy, quickly, quickly, I rush to class.

All I know is that the sunshine is pouring down on me, flooding the fields.
I am grateful to Uncle Ho, who taught me to read in the village.
I go to school, I love my teachers..."

As the birds sing upon entering class
Hello to a new day, dreams soaring high
