Three overseas Vietnamese have conveyed their love of homeland through a rap song "Viet World Wide” which has been written in English, German and Vietnamese.
The song, performed by three young Vietnamese overseas nicknamed Lee7, Fawng Daw and TwoTee, has received the enthusiastic support of the youth in the country and abroad.
“I was not born here, but I grew along day by day
I am a true Vietnamese, yellow skin, black hair, with residence papers for the West
The thing I learned when I came over here was to grind around the clock no matter the weather
Mom (Vietnam) you taught me to stand up tall even empty handed
“Believe me, my dear child. That’s how Momma Vietnam rolls”
Mom, I miss your voice, I miss your street corners
And I thank you for giving me this bloodline and these brown eyes of yours
In order to get here today, I could not forget the place I came from
And Vietnam, I just want to tell you that you still have this son
And Vietnam, red blood, yellow skin, I’m prepared to leave everything behind to come home with you tonight
15 years, a long journey
And my heart has never stopped beating for you
So please don’t call me a Viet Kieu or someone who lost his rootsJust call me Vietnamese like you used to
Because after all, we will always and forever belong to one people”.
