On this bank, the Quan Ho folk songs resound.

Across the street, a new dawn breaks in the morning sun.

and the construction site was bustling...

Nhu Nguyet!

Is a person a thread?

Should we mend the worn edges of time?

Let our homeland be like this

Sowing seeds of a bright future on these verdant shores...

Nhu Nguyet!

The wind on the river continues to blow silently.

But the soul of the land remains ever green… never growing old!
