Bonjour Vietnam

Bonjour Vietnam (a gift to the homeland)

 

sweet and sensuous vocals of the young Vietnamese-Belgian Pham Quynh Anh
performing "Bonjour Vietnam" a wonderful French ballad written by Marc Lavoine.

"Bonjour Vietnam" by French composer and singer Marc Lavoine and performed
by a young overseas Vietnamese living in Belgium, Pham Quynh Anh, age 19.

The sweet voice of the Belgian-Vietnamese girl and the meaningful lyrics have
attracted a lot of the attention other Vietnamese singers would like, even though
the song, in French, has not been officially launched.

The English lyrics of Bonjour Viet Nam, as circulated on the Internet, are provided below: Hello Viet Nam by Marc Lavoine Tell me this strange and difficult name to pronounce that I have carried since birth Tell me about the old empire and the features of my slanted eyes describing me better than what you dare not say I only know about you from images of war A movie by Coppola and the angry helicopters Someday I will go there, someday, I’ll say hello to your soul Someday I will go there (to) say hello to you, Viet Nam. Tell me about my colour, my hair and my small feet that I have carried since birth Tell me about your house, your street, tell me this unknown entity The floating markets and the wooden sampans I only know about my country via the photos of war A film by Coppola and the angry helicopters Someday I will go there, one day I’ll say hello to my soul Someday I will go there (to) say hello to you, Viet Nam. The temples and stone-carved Buddha statues for my fathers The stooping women in rice fields for my mothers Praying in the light to see my brothers again Touch my soul, my roots, my land... Someday I will go there, some day I’ll say hello to my soul. Someday I will go there (to) say hello to you, Viet Nam.

내가 태어 났을때부터 지니고다닌 이 이상하고 발음하기어려운 (나라)이름에 대해 말해주세요.

 

옛날에 있던 왕국과, 당신이 감히 얘기못하는 나의 특이한 기울어진 내 눈맵시에 대해 말해주세요.

 

나는 당신을 오로지 전쟁사진과 Coppola의 영화와 성난 helicopter를 통해서 알뿐입니다.

 

어느날 나는 거기에 가서, 어느날 당신의 영혼에 인사할렵니다.

 

어느날 나는 거기에가서, Vietnam 인 당신에게 인사할렵니다.

 

 내가 태어 났을때부터 지니고다닌 내 피부색, 머리털, 그리고 작은 발에 대해 말해주세요.

 

당신의 집과 길거리에 대해 말해주세요.

 

그리고 이 모르는것들, 물위에 떠있는 시장과 나무세쪽으로된 배에대해 얘기해 주세요.

 

 나의 아버지들을 위한 사원과 돌로 사겨진 부처상,

 

 나의 어머니들을 위한 쌀밭에서 허리꾸부리고 일하는 여인들 나의 형제들을 다시보 고,

 

나의 영혼, 나의 뿌리, 그리고 나의 고향에 손대기를 밝음속에 기도하며
