“ To Vietnamese, lotus is the symbol of purity, commitment and optimism for the future.  The elegance of lotus is often cited in the Vietnamese folk songs and poems.”
Hello Vietnam by Pham Quynh Anh
 
Tell me all about this name, that is difficult to say…
It was given me the day I was born

Want to know about … the stories of the Empire of old
My eyes say more of me than what you dare to say…
All I know of you is  all the sights of war…

Want to see your house, your streets. Show me all I do not know

One day I'll come to you

One day I'll finally know your soul
One day I'll come to you Ha Long Bay
To say hello... Vietnam
