Beside the Mausoleum in Autumn
Music and lyrics: Tran Vu Trang*
Beside the Mausoleum, in autumn for many years,
Those who went far, the longing for You never ceases.
The country still has the Party's ideals, the people's love, left for You, who left us.
Oh, sacred will and testament. Your loving words, dear father, always remembered throughout life.
Tomorrow, when I return to the South, how can I forget Your figure, the delicate cloth on the pebble path.
As if You left in the final moment.
Oh, the South in Your heart, the South forever remembers day and night, eagerly awaiting Your visit.
Why did You leave from that day at Ben Ngoc Rong for the children to forever hope.
Oh, even if that river dries up someday, even if that mountain erodes, the people's hearts will never fade.
For countless generations after You, You will always be here.
Oh Vietnam, shining for a thousand years, Ho Chi Minh.
Our father, You live forever with the nation for a thousand years.
Former Deputy Head of Political Department - President Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum High Command
