Oh , the allied countries have given our people
Bright pretty bullets made of copper !
The Vietnamese people need food and clothing ,
So generous allies increase their aid ,
And supply us with more bright pretty bullets ;
The Vietnamese strave to death ,
They cannot eat a million bright pretty bullets ,
We , father and son each other
under flying bullets ,
We , brothers , meet each other
under the flying cannonballs ,
We , fellow villagers , meet each other
under the guns in the square ;
In the name of peace
The allies support the two regions
With the bullets of their civilization .

MIÊN ĐỨC THẮNG .
