LET US PUT ON BLACK COATS
Music and Song: PH~~ DUY
1. Let us put on black coats, our popular color.
Our country is living in dire misery and hardships.
The black color is obscurity itself,
That rises to win and strike off
The red, the powder rose color of playboys and playgirls.
The color of feudal and colonialist lords that ruled over us.
The black coat was often scorned by them.
The people have been starving and the Viet Cong are deceitful.
Rise up to wipe out the blood and mourning colors!
2. Wearing black coats we keep our hearts pure like the blue sky.
We always know laughter and pleasure,life is lovely ~
Our countryside is pink.
Our peasants are very kind.
We beg to become the chilaren of the hamlets and villages.
Even the beauty queen's sweet-smplling attire
Is less worthy than mine with its human odors,
The perfume of our fatherland, of good paddy,
The perfume of consecutive rains and sunshines.
And now we proudly advance
As the offspring of Viet Nam.
Let's put on black coats
With the resolution to reconstruct the rural areas.
Tomorrow the sun will shine brighter.
The masses in peace will grow merrier.
They will remember us in our black suits
