Together hand in hand, we'll run and ride
Together we aim high to the finish line

We're cozy together, my friend
Give the gift of love, eyes, and a bright smile

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...”
