La balada de Ho Chi Minh

The Ballad of Ho Chi Minh

La balada de Ho Chi Minh

Beyond, where the sun rises,Más allá, donde el sol levanta,
in the land and in the gulf,en la tierra y en el golfín,
lives the father of the Indochinese people,vive el padre del pueblo de Indochina,
a people that fights alongside Ho Chi Minh.un pueblo que lucha junto a Ho Chi Minh.

Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh,Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh,
Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh.Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh.

In Saigon, the mountains roarEn Saigón la montaña ruge
and the valleys are silenty los valles en silencio están
because the young and the old farmerporque el joven y el viejo campesino
fight for freedom for their Vietnam.luchan por la libertad para su Vietnam.

Ho Chi Minh was a sailorHo Chi Minh era un marinero
who one afternoon returned happyque una tarde regresó feliz
and found that his people were sad;y encontró que su pueblo estaba triste;
sadness was not the hope of Ho Chi Minh.triste no era la esperanza de Ho Chi Minh.

Ho Chi Minh went to the mountainsHo Chi Minh se fue a la montaña
and his people marched tooy su pueblo también marchó
and he dreamed that his land was free,y soñaba que su tierra era libre,
against the enemy and against the invader.contra el enemigo y contra el invasor.

And he grew like a giant seaY creció como un mar gigante
hundreds and thousands alongside Ho Chi Minh.cien y miles junto a Ho Chi Minh.
Soldiers blossomed for the people,Florecían soldados para el pueblo,
to bring freedom, for the Viet Minh.para dar la libertad, para el Viet Minh.

"Freedom" the flags shout"Libertad" gritan las banderas
and in the jungle, a song is heard:y en la selva se oye una canción:
it's the people marching to victory,es el pueblo que marcha a la victoria,
peace and freedom will be for Vietnam.paz y libertad serán para el Vietnam.
