(walking beside every soul that still loves the homeland)<\/em><\/p>\nBlood of our brothers was shed in the night,
\nBlood of our sisters ran crimson in sight,
\nBlood of our children tore deep through the vein,
\nWhile the soul of our nation still thundered in pain.<\/p>\n
Sitting alone by the screen, holding tears,
\nFar lies my homeland through exile and years,
\nWhat can I do at the end of this road?
\nCursing lost country beneath sorrow\u2019s load.<\/p>\n
Trong\u2026 and Ngan\u2026 and Quang\u2026 and Phuc in their pride,
\nTyrants who bartered the nation they guide,
\nNinety million souls in despair still remain,
\nWhy not rise up and break tyranny\u2019s chain?<\/p>\n
My heart keeps pounding a funeral cry,
\nMust I leave earth without seeing home sky?
\nWill these old bones wander foreign lands forever,
\nFar from the ancestors, the mountains, the river?<\/p>\n
Oh sacred forefathers! Spirits divine!
\nOh holy rivers and borders once mine!
\nIf only once more I could set foot back home,
\nStanding beside all who no longer roam.<\/p>\n
This flesh and this blood of Lac Hong and Dragon,
\nNo soul desires to die nameless, forgotten,
\nBuried like dust in a far distant land,
\nFar from the birthplace that shaped us by hand.<\/p>\n
Looking at sisters, at brothers\u2014I grieve,
\nAshamed in my heart I have nothing to give,
\nTomorrow gray hair beneath cold midnight light,
\nEyes blurred with smoke and with sorrowful night.<\/p>\n
My trembling heart still aches through the haze\u2026
\nCalling for homeland through all of my days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
