The ballad of Ho Chi Minh di Canzoni politiche

(Ewan MaCall) 1954

Far away, across the ocean
Far beyond the sea’s eastern rim
Lives a man who is
Father of the Indochinese people
And his name is Ho Chi Minh!

Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh

Ho Chi Minh was a deep sea sailor
Served his time out on the seven seas
Work and hardship were
part of his early education
Exploitation his ABC’s

Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh

Ho Chi Minh came home from sailing
And he looked out on his native land
Saw the want and the hunger
of the Indochinese people
Foreign soldiers on every hand

Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh

Ho Chi Minh went to the mountains
Where he formed a determined band
Heroes sworn to liberate
the Indochinese people
Drive invaders from the land

Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh

Fourteen men became a hundred
A hundred thousand and Ho Chi Minh
And the wind stirs the banner
of the Indochinese people
Victory’s Army- the Viet Minh

Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh

Every soldier is a farmer
comes the morning he grabs his hoe
Comes the evening she swings
her rifle on her shoulder,
This the Army of Uncle Ho

Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh

From Viet Bac to the Saigon Delta
From the mountains to the Plain of Reeds
March the men and the women
of the Indochinese people
Sowing freedom with victory seeds

Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh

Ho!
