Communist

When will this thirst for freedom of all?

When will our love of slavery die?

When our Mother’s will fetters break?

When will our wars cease?

Wasn't there another love

Reared by our noble Vietnamese race?

Lead us, great men, to victory!

Isn’t right we remain communist?

Are famine and disease all our suffering?

For whom, then, are the food and fruits?

Will you abandon mankind, your lovers?

Can the mothers cast her children of any race?

Brave warrior! Oh Lord!

Destroyer of the demon-race as Communist,

Where is your law? Isn't yours the lost life?

To revive us, and chase Fear away?

When will this thirst for freedom slake?

When will our love of slavery die?

When our Mother’s will fetters break?

When will our suffering cease?

Is famine and disease our entire share?

For whom, then, are the food and fruits?

Will you abandon us, your suppliants?

Can the mother cast her child suffering?
