"Sound of Singing Soldiers" (Vietnamese: Tiến Quân Ca, pronounced [tjə̌n kwən kaː]) is the national anthem of Vietnam. It was written and composed by Văn Cao (1923-1995) in 1944, and was adopted as the national anthem of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945. It became the national anthem of the unified Socialist Republic of Vietnam in 1976. Although it consists of two verses, only the first is used as the official anthem. Vietnam National Anthem Lyrics Viet Nam (March to the Front) Original French Words Soldats vietnamiens, nous allons de l'avant, Mus par une même volonté sauver la patrie. Nos pas redoublés sonnent sur la route longue et rude. Notre drapeau, rouge du sang de la victoire, porte l'âme de la nation. Le lointain grondement des canons rythme les accents de notre marche. Le chemin de la gloire se pave de cadavres ennemis. Triomphant des difficultés, ensemble, nous édifions nos bases de résistance. Jurons de lutter sans rêpit pour la cause du peuple. Courons vers le champ de bataille! En avant! Tous ensemble, en avant! Notre patrie vietnamienne est solide et durable. Soldats vietnamiens, l'etoile d'or au vent Conduisant notre peuple et notre patrie hors de la misère et des souffrances. Unissons nos efforts dans la lutte pour l'édification de la vie nouvelle. Debout! d'un même élan, rompons nos fers! Depuis si longtemps, nous avons contenu notre haine! Soyons prêts à tous les sacrifices et notre vie sera radieuse. Jurons de lutter sans rêpit pour la cause du peuple. Courons vers le champ de bataille! En avant! Tous ensemble, en avant! Notre patrie vietnamienne est solide et durable.
