1-
Far away across the ocean,
Far beyond the sea's eastern rim.
Lives a man who is father of the Indo-Chinese people,
And his name it is Ho Chi Minh,
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh,
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh.
2-
From Viet Bac to the Saigon Delta,
From the mountains and plains below.
Young and old workers, peasants and the toiling tenant farmers,
Fight for freedom with Uncle Ho,
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh,
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh.
3-
Ho Chi Minh was a deep sea sailor,
He served his time out on the seven seas.
Work and hardship were part of his early education,
Exploitation his ABC,
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh,
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh.
4-
Ho Chi Minh came back from sailing,
And he looked out on his native land.
Saw the want and the hunger of the Indo-Chinese people,
Foreign soldiers on every hand,
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh,
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh.
5-
Ho Chi Minh went to the mountains,
And he formed a determined band.
Heroes all, sworn to liberate the Indo-Chinese people,
Drive invaders from the land,
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh,
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh,
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh, Ho!
