A question I got about the background before I turned off comments: "Why are there VC in the background"... I couldn't tell the difference between a VC or a South Vietnamese soldier back then, so I apologize on that

(Verse 1)
Go, go, my brother we go
Nonstop marching to cross over the border
Night have so many star that it's bright fully light
Project it's light that bring us to our shinning love ones
Go is Go home from all directions, Go home is Go home among with our homeland (or: from all the directions we go home, home is with our nation (our land))
On the way to battle to show our bravery that undermines all dangers
Go home is go home to raise our bright red flame set on the homeland.
That's cooking for a victorious revolution
Steps we march under the bright yellow moon that warm our determination
Step we march got a densely jungle that sing lullaby about our sovereignty
The border's path bring us to intense smoking difficulty
But we march on with enthusiasm to get over boulders and thorny nests.
Go we go to difficulty that we used to along the road that last heavenly
Shoulder to shoulder with a single self-purpose to march
Hand ties our hand together to writes down our deep oath
Vow is eternal vow to (virginity? I'm not sure about this part), Vow is Vow to together to sacrifice
Love home love the sanctuary country that we will not retreat
Vow is Vow to that all go to kill(defeat) no matter how.
We march on to let's kill(defeat) our enemy.
(verse 2)
Forward now, forward to grind away the enemy
Forward now, forward to grind the enemy so we can go home
Don't mourn the godless enemy because if there are still enemy then we are lost
History prove that one hundred times: the Communist still live then the nation is broken
March we march over Truong Son, clothes that been ragged firstly by fog and secondly by sun beam
But the heart will never torn for our love toward our nation
But the heart still hide our fiery hatred vengeance
Hate is hate for our homeland, shout is shouting for volunteer
On border's road to slaughter the Commie, exposed among with flowers and leaves.
Hey is Hey for our brother's desire to prevent our enemy from go home
Hurry up to let's kill our enemy
(and repeat verse 2, especially the last 2 lines)

![35 Minutes of South Vietnamese Music
Thanks to @JohnathanTheDoge for supplying me some of the songs here. I appreciate you for introducing me to these artists and Vietnamese music as a whole
This video has been in the making for a while now, and it took like 2 years for me to actually finish it, and it didnt feel right for me to just stop uploading and not make something I promised to people. I didnt want to put too much music that it reaches an hour though but there were a lot of songs I wanted to add that I wasnt possible to do so, so I chose these to be in the final product. The cover went through several prototypes over those 2 years, and actual production of the video took 4 days to make.. and the Cambodia video only took me 2 days
Anyway, I dont know too much about the origins of the music scene in South Vietnam unfortunately but some of these individuals (like the CBC Band) initially started out as playing music to US soldiers in the country but eventually moved on to greater dreams afterwards. After the fall of Saigon, most of the artists were placed into re-education camps or were able to flee the country in time. Most of the artists who were re-educated survived the camps and eventually left Vietnam all together (The Hanoi government was not as cruel as the Khmer Krahom), and continued their career [Mostly] in the United States or places elsewhere. Compared to the Cambodian singers and musicians, a lot of the artists are somewhat still alive. Very few South Vietnamese artists reside in Vietnam today but are still listened to in the country.. just not the ones that are pro-ARVN
