Pham Quynh Anh - Hello Vietnam

"Hello Vietnam" English version of "Bonjour VietNam" sung by a Vietnamese-Belgian singer, Pham Quynh Anh. She had captured the hearts of Vietnamese audiences worldwide with its meaningful lyrics and beautiful melody. Though the "1-hit to stardom" singer has only heard stories about Vietnam through her parents and.."films by Coppola", such tragedies have apparently left a strong impact on her. And despite so many unpleasant stories of "bombs and bullets", just like the lyrics she sang "One day I'll come to you...To say hello... Vietnam"...Quynh would love to visit the motherland...

Song: Hello Vietnam

Singer: Pham Quynh Anh

Lyric:

Tell me all about this name that is difficult to say.
It was given me the day I was born.

Want to know about the stories of the empire of old.
My eyes say more of me than what you dare to say

All I know of you is all the sights of war.
A film by Coppola, the helicopter's roar.

One day I'll touch your soil .
One day I'll finally know your soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.

Tell me all about my colour, my hair and my little feet
That have carried me every mile of the way.

Want to see your house, your streets
Show me all I do not know.
Wooden sampans, floating markets, light of gold.

All I know of you is all the sights of war.
A film by Coppola, the helicopter's roar.

One day I'll touch your soil .
One day I'll finally know your soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.

And Buddha made of stone watch over me.
My dreams, they lead me through the fields of rice.
In prayer, in the light...I see my kin.
I touch my tree, my roots, my begin...
One day I'll walk your soil .
One day I'll finally know my soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.

To say xin chao...Vietnam.
