"Come to my Vietnamese people"

According to Xuan Nghia, he wrote this song for 8 years. In 1992, he came up with the verse "Come to my Vietnamese people/ Come to my homeland, my peaceful country...". And so, the chorus came first, two years later, he wrote the opening line: "Hey, my best friend from all over the world...". When he almost finished writing the song, he paused, because the line "Come to the sound of fireworks on New Year's Eve on the 30th" was written before, but in 1994, when there was a ban on fireworks, he found another word to replace it. The song was unfinished, until 2000 when it was finished.

With its youthful melody and simple lyrics, the song evokes pride in the resilient and courageous spirit in the struggle to protect and build the Fatherland, as well as the kindness and friendliness of the Vietnamese people towards international friends: "One day our ancestors made their name in the mountains and rivers/ One day our country rose up in peace", "The shrapnel of bullets sown on the brown soil in the past/ Has now turned into golden rice stalks/ Sent into each page of poetry books/ Looking at the future, the heart smiles".

Musician Nguyen Xuan Nghia, born in 1975 in Hanoi, moved to Ho Chi Minh City at the age of 2 and grew up there.
