MOON SHAPE ON BA DINH SQUARE
Music: Thuan Yen
Poem: Pham Ngoc Canh
Moon rising, oh moon rising,
The square offers a bright sea.
Oh moon, oh moon over Ba Dinh Square,
Expansive, expansive, expansive and sacred (ethnic drum beats).
In Uncle Ho's Mausoleum, resting after each task,
The moon, aware of this, treads lightly (Music).
Like guiding the moon, echoing the ancient Day River, singing under the moon in the forests of Northern Vietnam.
Uncle discusses military matters.
Bamboo wind rustles around the Mausoleum, like guiding a boat (Music).
Oh moon, in the homeland of poetry in Uncle Ho's verses, for generations, I wish to preserve this happiness, oh poetry (Music).
As a filial child embraced by the night of the full moon,
Inviting the beloved moon to step onto the threshold of the Mausoleum.
Inviting the beloved moon to step onto the threshold of the Mausoleum.
