1. Binh Thuan, Forever in My Heart
Binh Thuan, my homeland, steadfast through the years...
The sea is full of love, the shore remembers, with sweet gratitude...
Oh, my homeland... rivers, mountains, and calm seas
The poetic Red Hill... the wind blowing the sands in the evening...
My homeland, the Old King's Tower still stands...
The verses of Mac Tu... unfinished yet full of passion
The sunset waves crashing... golden light at Doi Duong...
The bright moon at Mui Ne... shimmering with color...
Oh... Binh Thuan... day and night I long for you
Where Duc Thanh, a symbol of bravery, once stood
The Red Hill glowing... the setting sun's golden hue
The far horizon where the clouds blend with my homeland's sky...
Binh Thuan, oh! A homeland of endless hues...
One visit, and I’ll carry you in my heart forever...
The green sea sings its love song...
The rhythms of the boatmen catching fish and shrimp...
My homeland... the girls are truly beautiful!!!
With a charming smile, a poetic and pure heart...
Meeting you... love fills my soul...
Leaving, yet I carry the memories, longing for you...

2. Binh Thuan Rising
Returning to the city, my coastal hometown,
Binh Thuan, full of love, eager to move forward
The sound of factories echoes, industry is thriving
The golden sea filled with shrimp and fish, fishing boats full.
Returning to the city, I miss the vast sea
Binh Thuan, captivated by the golden sands of Mui Ne
The green hills of Doi Duong, the evening breeze so soft
The waves of love forever calling, guiding boats to the sea.
Our coastal city... Binh Thuan is rising
Overcoming hardships, the city blooms with flowers
The Old King's Tower still stands, a memory of past love
The spirit of love soaring, a bond with you.
The beloved coastal city, Binh Thuan so green
The people and the Party united to build and grow
Through the years, living up to its heroic name
Answering the call of Uncle Ho, the spring of freedom is here.
Returning to the city... my coastal hometown
Binh Thuan, like a dream, building and developing
The countryside and city united in love
Like the green rice fields, vast and filled with warmth.

3. The Love of Phan Thiết
The love for Phan Thiết, my homeland
The people, the beautiful scenery, always in my heart
Joy fills each morning and evening
We treasure the moments we share
So many words to express
A heart of devotion, returned in kind
Life moves forward, with eyes on the horizon
The river flows down, uniting with no mistake
The love for Bình Thuận never fades
Endless affection, pure and deep...

4. My Bình Thuận
The sunlight here sparkles with memories
The golden dawn lights up the paths we take
Bình Thuận, how beautiful you are
The Doi Duong hills, with cool breezes and fresh air
Phan Thiết at night, the sea and sky are breathtaking
Autumn winds come in, oh how beautiful Bình Thuận is.
By TG Nguyễn Trúc


5. My Bắc Bình
Bắc Bình - the beloved Bình Thuận
No matter where I go, I miss the familiar paths of home
I love the green fields at twilight
The golden rice fields swaying in the breeze
Bắc Bình, it's still hard, my love!
Enduring the years without complaint
The sun and rain haven't yet found harmony
Even with the struggles of the economy
But the love for my homeland remains strong
The people and the Party, united through hardships
Determined to build infrastructure
Upgrading villages with bright roads and power lines
My love for home, it never stops
Loving my homeland, where heroes once fought
Loving my homeland, with peaceful waters and bright moons
Where the forests, the sea, the streams, and rivers shine
Bắc Bình - Bình Thuận, the heart of Central Vietnam
How beautiful you are, always in my heart
No matter the challenges that lie ahead
I'll always remember... forever with love...

6. Mui Ne, My Homeland
Mui Ne, my hometown, is wonderfully beautiful.
Come visit if you have the chance,
Golden sands glistening under the sun,
The sea stretches endlessly, so vast.
Spring is always so beautiful here,
Golden afternoons by the sparkling sea,
Hair flowing freely, dancing in the wind,
A graceful figure plays joyfully in the breeze.
With rosy lips and soft cheeks, all so lovely,
The evening sea breeze lets the spirit wander,
Graceful and soft like the clouds in the waves,
Mui Ne, my hometown... Truly wonderful...
Inspired by the scene, I write these words,
Golden afternoons by the sea, letting the spirit roam,
Come, if you can, visit here...
Binh Thuan, my homeland... Sends its warm invitation.

7. Oh, Phan Thiet, I Missed You
This summer, I can't return to Phan Thiet
To watch the sunrise over the blue ocean
To build a sandcastle with you by my side
The waves crashing as we listen to the ocean sing
Unable to visit the sand dunes
To admire the wrinkles like lake waves
With wild grasses sprouting under the scorching sun
Creating a raw beauty I deeply adore
I can't stroll through the historical hills
The waves endlessly echo at the Old Man's Tower
Where Mạc Tử Mộng Cầm made vows
As poetic verses meet the mysterious moonlight
I can't come to admire the endless green fields
The dragon fruit farms stretching far away
The flowers blooming at night, their white beauty subtle
Only blooming under the moonlight, shy and pure
Unable to come, so I'm breaking my promise, my love
Don't blame me, I never wanted this
Promise me, next holiday we'll walk together
Exploring all around, just the two of us...

8. I miss you so much, Bình Thuận
My love...come back to Bình Thuận, my hometown...
In this land... where I grew up each day
Though dry and barren... my love remains strong
Land and people... through struggles, we've endured...
My love... our sea is vast and wide
Its salty life... forever holding love so dear
Even through the battles... we fought so fiercely
The people here... stand strong, never backing down
The love for this land... a song for all time
With peace restored, we build and shine
Love between us... a dream to be together
In the beautiful city by the sea...
My love...Mũi Né... my seaside town
The waves roar... singing a song of love
By the Red Hill... the sand intoxicates
Little lizards* crawling at your feet...
Our land... unpredictable with storms...
But love grows stronger... through all things.
Time passes... life moves on...
My love for Bình Thuận... will forever glow within me.
(*lizards = a species of reptile that lives in sand holes... a local delicacy in Bình Thuận).
Poetry by Nguyễn Thanh Tâm


9. Blue Sea
If you ever visit Binh Thuan, my hometown,
Come to Mui Ne... and you won't forget
The endless blue sea day and night
With waves gently lapping... soft sand beneath your feet
Golden autumn shines by the shore
The vast blue ocean whispers softly
The waves roll on in eternity
Here I am...a gentle girl...with the scent of my homeland
The willows sway gracefully, promises in the air
As the wind plays with my hair...sweet and tender
Return to Binh Thuan, and I will give you
The blue sea, and waves full of my love
The autumn waves are so soft
The gentle breeze caresses the shore
Waiting with love, waiting forever
Come back, my love...don't ever leave
My love, come back to me
I am here...waiting...longing for you
My steps are light, yet full of affection
This is my homeland, Mui Ne, waiting for your return.
Phan Van Uyen


10. My Hometown in Binh Thuan Province
Oh, Mui Ne Phan Thiet, Binh Thuan, my homeland...
With many coconut trees... swinging left and right, sweet fruits,
The roads are lined with greenery, and the sea fills me with love...
Restaurants, resorts, tourists from all directions...
Many hearts of affection... Binh Thuan, my homeland...
Come visit once... you will never forget the dream tower, and Han Mac Tu's story
Of life's sorrow, a poet's love...
Nothing compares to the rich taste of our fish sauce...
Famous in Phan Thiet...
Heading toward Ham Thuan... vast green fields...
Binh Thuan is beloved, with its endless sea and forests...
On dreamy afternoons... together at the Co Thach Pagoda...
Listen to the waves crash on the rocks beneath the sky
The gentle sway of the long dress as she strolls by...
We pray at the Pagoda for love's sweet destiny...
Oh... Binh Thuan... my coastal homeland...
The blue sea, golden sands, a tender longing...
Binh Thuan, my paradise
This love song for Binh Thuan will forever stay in my heart...
Oh... Binh Thuan... land of heroes...
After many years of change, the passage of time
Everyone follows the Party's lead through struggles
Now, my homeland shines brightly... with its seas full of love.
Nguyen Thanh Tam
