French Translation

Soldats vietnamiens, nous allons de l'avant,
Mus par une mÃÂÃÂªme volontÃÂÃÂ© sauver la patrie.
Nos pas redoublÃÂÃÂ©s sonnent sur la route longue et rude.
Notre drapeau, rouge du sang de la victoire,
Porte l'ÃÂÃÂ¢me de la nation.
Le lointain grondement des canons rythme
Les accents de notre marche.
Le chemin de la gloire se pave de cadavres ennemis.
Triomphant des difficultÃÂÃÂ©s, ensemble,
Nous ÃÂÃÂ©difions nos bases de rÃÂÃÂ©sistance.
Jurons de lutter sans rÃÂÃÂ©pit pour la cause du peuple.
Courons vers le champ de bataille!
En avant! Tous ensemble, en avant!
Notre patrie vietnamienne est solide et durable.

Soldats vietnamiens, l'etoile d'or au vent
Conduisant notre peuple et notre patrie
Hors de la misÃÂÃÂ¨re et des souffrances.
Unissons nos efforts dans la lutte
Pour l'ÃÂÃÂ©dification de la vie nouvelle.
Debout! d'un mÃÂÃÂªme ÃÂÃÂ©lan, rompons nos fers!
Depuis si longtemps, nous avons contenu notre haine!
Soyons prÃÂÃÂªts ÃÂÃÂ tous les sacrifices et notre vie sera radieuse.
Jurons de lutter sans rÃÂÃÂªpit pour la cause du peuple.
Courons vers le champ de bataille!
En avant! Tous ensemble, en avant!
Notre patrie vietnamienne est solide et durable.

English Translation

Soldiers of Vietnam, we go forward,
With the one will to save our Fatherland,
Our hurried steps are sounding
On the long and arduous road.
Our flag, red with the blood of victory,
Bears the spirit of our country.
The distant rumbling of the guns mingles with our marching song.
The path to glory passes over the bodies of our foes.
Overcoming all hardships, together we build our resistance bases.
Ceaselessly for the people's cause let us struggle,
Let us hasten to the battlefield!
Forward! All together advancing!
Our Vietnam is strong, eternal.

Soldiers of Vietnam, we go forward!
The gold star of our flag in the wind
Leading our people, our native land,
Out of misery and suffering.
Let us join our efforts in the fight
For the building of a new life.
Let us stand up and break our chains. For too long have we swallowed our hatred.
Let us keep ready for all sacrifices and our life will be radiant.
Ceaselessly for the people's cause let us struggle,
Let us hasten to the battlefield!
Forward! All together advancing!
Our Vietnam is strong, eternal.
