"Bonjour Vietnam" or 'Hello VietNam' is the favorite music of me. I heart this song accidentally when my friend introduced it to me. She said that " Listen and tell me what your feeling".
The song was written by a French musician and was sang by an amateur singer. The Lyric expresses the affection of the Vietnamese girl who was born in French. Although was born and growth in French, she still loved Viet Nam. Through the mother's story and the information on the Television or the internet, she wanted to go back Viet Nam to know about country and people in VietNam.
Want to see your house, your streets.
Show me all I do not know.
Wooden sampans, floating markets, light of gold.
All I know of you is the sights of war.
A film by Coppola, the helicopter's roar.
One day I'll touch your soil.
One day I'll finally know my soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.
That was the first time that I heart it, but it brought to me to have much feeling. The lyric not only mentioned the girl's emotion about vietnam but also remindered the fight of Vietnamese in the war. It remindered to me a heroic history of my country. Iam so proud of Vietnam where there are the meek and affable but not less cougeruos people.
In addition, when living in my country, I did not realize my country' s value, and somtimes I thought that everything here is very normal. However, after hearing the Bonjour Vietnam, the affection of the girl who has never gone to vietnam, but she always keeps an image of vietnam in her heart vibrated me. There are some changing in my thought. I feel to love my country so much, and I want to travel arround my coutry to enjoy Vietnamese's life. I try to preserve and built my country's images. I want to everyone to know and love Vietnam, a peaceful and beautiful place.
