Mother vietnam, how hard it was for
you to let your children go free-away
from you and your love for them.
You had to in order to set them free
from evil men and their fight for power
Mother,please don't cry
Let me wipe away your loving tears,
I can still remember your gentle silent cry
when I left yourside.
How you wept over your innocent children,
who had to suffer under men
who wants to rule the world.
Mother, don't cry
I heard the cry of the weeping wind.
The warmness of the air is full of love
and high hopes for your children. Mother,
it was so hard for me to leave you-
like a bird who's missing a wing and
can't fly.
Mother, don't cry
I'm still searching for you.
I will find you someday
I'll always feel the same way
until that day.
