Ngọc Liên – Rước Xuân Về Nhà lyrics (English translation)

(Verse 1)
Mother, can you hear?
The rustling sound of budding leaves so near.
Mother, can you hear?
The birds that sing upon the hill, so clear.
Mother, can you see?
Out in the yard, butterflies flying free,
Are dancing playfully.

(Verse 2)
Mother, can you see?
The yellow apricot tree before our home,
Its golden buds in softness tightly sewn,
Fluttering in the gentle breeze alone.
Mother, can you see?
In the wide sky, the swallows roam,
Soaring gracefully.

(Chorus)
Mother, do you know that spring now joyfully greets me?
Mother, do you know the past pain has faded softly?
Mother, do you see the busy streets where people hurry home?
Mother, do you see the village lights that brightly shine and roam?

(Bridge)
A smile breaks upon a pair of lips once dry,
Mother rejoices as her children draw near by.
Mother is glad the lonely thatched roof, after years of standing still,
Now hears the sound of family coming home, the emptiness to fill.

(Outro)
The lively singing from the neighbor’s girl rings out,
Her cheeks blush red as the young man walks about.
The bustling crowd in floral dresses, bright and bold,
From the high village to the low, the story’s told.
Everyone welcomes spring back home.
