Together hand in hand, we'll run and ride

Together we aim high to the finish line

Let's shine...

We're cozy together, my friend

Give the gift of love, eyes, and a bright smile

Friendship shines brightly everywhere

Let us touch the glory that shines in the skies of Vietnam

The heart, the feet are prepared

Together stronger South East Asia

Together we will fight until the end

Tomorrow is so bright for everyone who will try

Together hand in hand, we'll run and ride

Together we aim high to the finish line

Tomorrow is so bright for everyone who will try

Let's shine...

Let's shine...”
