~ The Vietnamese Air Force Song ~
The time has come to climb on high,
To battle in the sky,
And with all your will and all your strength,
Return with victory.
An oath is in your hearts,
Fly with the wind to pledge for victory.
Feel no sorrow, knowing well you may never return,
You sacrifice yourselves for all your countrymen.
An oath is in your hearts,
Fly with the wind to pledge for victory.
Be ever mindful of all who have gone forever.
Peering down through the smoke of devastation,
You are birds flying freely in the clear, blue sky.
Your wings cover all of space,
Your are the planets flying in the moonlit night.
The souls of our ancestors are ever with us,
And the Vietnamese Air Force fills the sky.
The pilot’s fame will endure forever.
In the distance you can see our earthbound bases,
And from your vantage point high in the sky
You can watch over your beloved country.
It matters not how far you wander,
You will return to live in harmony
And tranquil flight with those who fly.
As you traverse the pain of time,
Every-increasing victories will be testament
To your endless sacrifice,
And though you be gone, you are not forgotten.
