[Nhạc Sử] Hai Bà Trưng Dựng Cờ Khởi Nghĩa

Music: Sử Ca Lạc Hồng (Music of Lac Hong Heritage) - Lyrics: Vietnamese Folk Verse & Hoàng Đạt [Intro] Mê Linh! Raise the flag! Lĩnh Nam! Rise up! [1] Trưng Sisters was from Châu Phong, Angry at the greedy and brutal band, never forgetting the hatred for her husband’s death. The two sisters bore heavily a single oath, Raising the ladies’ flag, taking the authority of a general. [Pre-Chorus] ]From Ngàn Tây uplands rose clouds of dust and turmoil, With rumbling troops and horses drawing near Long Biên. In red skirts, they stepped lightly to bring war to peace, At once driving out Tô Định (Su Ding), pacifying the frontier citadel! [Chorus] Raising the Mê Linh flag, stirring waves in ten thousand hearts! Women though they were, their resolve soared vast over the Eastern Sea! For the race, for the greater cause, never retreating, Women taking upon themselves the peril of the mountains and rivers! In the peril of the realm, determined never to retreat! [2] At the imperial capital they marked out the realm at Mê Linh, Lĩnh Nam had its own court of our country alone. For three autumns they bore the burden of the realm, Their prestige and fame shook even the far northern lands. [Pre-Chorus 2] The Han sent Ma Yuan to set out, Black winds drew near, the battlefield a storm. Mê Linh strained all its strength in the struggle, Women against heroes, why fear? Why fear, why fear, determined never to retreat! [Repeat Chorus] Raising the Mê Linh flag, stirring waves in ten thousand hearts! Women though they were, their resolve soared vast over the Eastern Sea! For the race, for the greater cause, never retreating, Women taking upon themselves the peril of the mountains and rivers! [Outro] The sacred spirit remains for a thousand generations… The sacred spirit remains for a thousand generations…
