Lời:

Far away across the ocean,

Far beyond the sea's eastern rim,

Lives a man who is father of the Indo-Chinese people,

And his name it is Ho Chi Minh.

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

From VietBac to the SaiGon Delta

From the mountains and plains below

Young and old workers, peasants and the toiling tenant farmers

Fight for freedom with Uncle Ho.

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Ho Chi Minh was a deep sea sailor

He served his time out on the seven seas

Work and hardship were part of his early education

Exploitation his ABC.

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Ho Chi Minh came home from sailing

And he looked out on his native land

Saw the want and the hunger of the Indo-Chinese people

Foreign soldiers on every hand.

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Ho Chi Minh went to the mountains

And he trained a determined band

Heroes all, sworn to liberate the Indo-Chinese people

Drive invaders from the land.

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Fourteen men became a hundred

A hundred thousand and Ho Chi Minh

Forged and tempered the army of the Indo-Chinese people

Freedom's Army of Viet Minh.

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Every soldier is a farmer

Comes the evening and he grabs his hoe

Comes the morning he swings his rifle on his shoulder

This the army of Uncle Ho.

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

From the mountains and the jungles

From the ricelands and the Plain of Reeds

March the men and the women of the Indo-Chinese Army

Planting freedom with victory seeds.

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

From VietBac to the SaiGon Delta

Marched the armies of Viet Minh

And the wind stirs the banners of the Indo-Chinese people

Peace and freedom and Ho Chi Minh.

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!

Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh!
