What did you do last year, for the one who gave you life?
What did you do last year, for the one who loves you?
What did you do last year, for the one who supports you?
And what did you do last year, for your close friends?
[Chorus:]
Now is the time to look back, at the year that has passed
What joys and sorrows, what forgiveness and anger
Were you satisfied or disappointed,
did you grow or remain naive
Like at the beginning
Whatever happened
Whatever the outcome
Just look back
A smile still blooms on your lips.
Success, failure
Are just old stories
Welcome the new year.
[Verse 2:]
What did you gain last year, after all the wandering?
What did you gain last year, after all the confused steps?
What did you gain last year, after all the goodbyes?
And what did you gain last year, after all the moments of return?
[Chorus:]
Now is the time to look back, at the year that has passed
What joys and sorrows, what forgiveness and anger
Were you satisfied or disappointed,
did you grow or remain naive
Like at the beginning
Whatever happened
Whatever the outcome
Just look back
A smile still blooms on your lips.
Success, failure
Are just old stories
Welcome the new year
So the year is over
With all the busyness you went through
Look and see
What forgiveness, what anger
Were you satisfied or disappointed
Did you grow or remain naive
Like at the beginning
Whatever happened
Whatever the outcome
Just look back
A smile still blooms on your lips.
Success, failure
Are just old stories
Welcome the new year
Now I close
Another year has passed
Hello new year
[Verse 3:]
This year, what will you do, for the one who gave you life?
This year, what will you do, for the one who loves you?
This year, what will you do, for the one who supports you?
And this year, what will you do, for your close friends?

Lyrics:

No matter where I am, I will return
To share all my stories with dad
On Tet night, I’ll cook with mom
This Tet I will return
Mom, don’t worry and wait for me
Because I know Tet for mom is
Only when she sees me return
Last year was full of hardships
Everyone faced difficulties
Far away, I know mom
Must be very worried
Tears well up when mom calls
Besides reminding me of everything
Mom always asks
Will you return this Tet?
This Tet I will return
No matter where I am, I will return
To share all my stories with dad
On Tet night, I’ll cook with mom
This Tet I will return
Mom, don’t worry and wait for me
Because I know Tet for mom is
Only when she sees me return
This year, over twenty-five, yet my heart still holds many dreams
Still wandering far, with many aspirations waiting
From the days when my steps were naive
Now less naive
Through many years, much has changed
Worrying about the future, sometimes I don’t even want Tet anymore
As long as far away, someone still waits for me
I always promise to return
This Tet I will return
No matter where I am, I will return
To share all my stories with dad
On Tet night, I’ll cook with mom
This Tet I will return
Mom, don’t worry and wait for me
Because I know Tet for mom is
Only when she sees me return
Sometimes I forget, in a few more years, mom and dad will be older
And I keep wandering, not knowing how many more times we’ll meet
Going far, I realize I’ve forgotten many precious things
This Tet, I will definitely return
This Tet I will return
No matter where I am, I will return
To share all my stories with dad
On Tet night, I’ll cook with mom
This Tet I will return
Mom, don’t worry and wait for me
Because I know Tet for mom is
Only when she sees me return

Lyrics:

There are things simply precious
Priceless in our hearts
A cup of tea, dad’s words, a few simple sentences
And mom’s meals
Life isn’t always glamorous
It’s okay, we have family
To give us strength
In times of sadness
In moments of drifting
Home is where we rest
Prosperity isn’t far
It’s in our home
Looking around, peach blossoms are blooming
Prosperity is sometimes
When a child calls
“Dad, mom, I’m home”
Returning home for Tet
Let go of all worries
All difficulties and doubts
Let’s rest, not think of the past year
Many things didn’t go as planned
It’s okay, we won’t give up
Just return home
Everything fades away
Returning home for Tet
Let go of all worries
Whether sunny or rainy
Family is always there
Prosperity is Tet with family
Family reunion is a full Tet
Prosperity isn’t far
It’s right here
Returning home for Tet
Let go of all worries
All difficulties and doubts
Let’s rest, not think of the past year
Many things didn’t go as planned
It’s okay, we won’t give up
Just return home
Everything fades away
Returning home for Tet
Returning home for Tet
Let go of all worries
Whether sunny or rainy
Family is always there
Prosperity is Tet with family
Family reunion is a full Tet
Prosperity isn’t far
It’s right here
Prosperity is Tet with family
Family reunion is a full Tet
Prosperity isn’t far
It’s right here

Lyrics:

Mom often works overtime for a few more hours
Returns home late at night and then wakes up early in the morning
Because mom always hopes our home
Will have a little more when Tet comes
A little cake, a little tea, a little flower scent
A little richer when spring passes
Mom remembers, on Tet night, coming home
And I sat waiting on the porch
Tears welled up, mom suddenly realized
Mom’s treasure is right here, no need to look far
Tet comes, we’re together
No need to dream of wealth
Because mom’s richness is seeing her children healthy in her arms
No money can measure
Nothing compares to having Tet with
Family, health, then mom’s Tet is rich
Grandma tells mom, Tet in the past
Simple preparations, a little coconut candy
Yet so joyful because the whole family was together, Tet was peaceful
This year, if our whole family
Has dad, mom, grandparents
Has good health, always virus-free, laughing
Then this Tet is rich
Tet comes, we’re together
No need to dream of wealth
Because mom’s richness is seeing her children healthy in her arms
No money can measure
Nothing compares to having Tet with
Family, health, then mom’s Tet is rich
Hello
“Mom, this Tet I’ll be late, working a bit more to buy gifts”
“No need for luxury, just come home healthy”
A little more, a bit more, doesn’t make us richer?
Spend more time, a bit more, to be together
My richness is a healthy family
Is dad and mom still by my side
Tet comes, we’re together
No need to dream of wealth
Because my richness is when mom and dad are still healthy by my side
No money can measure
Nothing compares to having Tet with
Family, health, then mom’s Tet is rich
Tet comes, we’re together
No need to dream of wealth
Because mom’s richness is seeing her children healthy in her arms
No money can measure
Nothing compares to having Tet with
Family, health, then mom’s Tet is rich
Family, health, then mom’s Tet is rich

Cleaning the yard, the house, and preparing Tet gifts
Mom worries, asking if I’m okay
I always say I’m fine, no matter the difficulties
As long as Tet at home has enough cakes and gifts for mom and dad to smile
But I don’t realize, mom and dad’s Tet wishes aren’t grand
Just seeing their children healthy
That’s enough
Tet in the city, Tet in the countryside
Tet comes for us to be close
Close to see we’re still here, laughing, healthy
What is a fine Tet? What is a happy Tet?
It’s being together, having each other
Family is there, health is there, that’s a fine Tet
Hearing I’m coming home soon
Dad hurriedly cleans the yard
Cleans the house, prepares tea, waits for me to rest
Seeing my child return healthy
That’s Tet
Dad always says, as long as I’m healthy, coming home, everything else is secondary
Tet in the city, Tet in the countryside
Tet comes for us to be close
Close to see we’re still here, laughing, healthy
What is a fine Tet? What is a happy Tet?
It’s being together, having each other
Family is there, health is there, that’s a fine Tet
Mom, this year I’ve tried hard but things aren’t smooth
I’ve worked hard, but my career isn’t stable yet
It’s okay, as long as I’m healthy, coming home, everything is fine
Dad, this year I haven’t been able to settle down with her
Maybe next year I’ll tell you
Rest assured, I promise to stay healthy and return home for Tet
Tet comes and goes, every year
Some years are glorious, some are difficult
Looking back, the most precious thing is we’re still healthy
What is a fine Tet? What is a happy Tet?
It’s being together, having each other
Family is there, health is there, that’s a fine Tet
What is a fine Tet? What is a happy Tet?
It’s being together, having each other
Family is there, health is there, that’s a fine Tet
Family is there, health is there, that’s a fine Tet

Ran around the yard
I was a strong superhero
Or helped dad and mom write
Those beautiful days
Long gone but feel like yesterday
Even grown up, it’s still the same
Running fast to hug dad and mom
Every spring that passes
In my heart, I silently wish
Our whole family celebrates Tet together
Time passes, things change
Joys and sorrows in life
One thing remains unchanged
Family love in my heart
No matter where, no matter how long
Home is where love never fades
Footsteps go everywhere
Home is the first safe haven
A small house nurtured a big dream
From a boy who only ran and jumped, dreamed of flying
From scribbles to becoming a rapper on stage
Everyone grows up, everything changes
But one thing remains strong: family love in my heart
Time passes silently, like a movie
Just hope to return home, ask how everyone is
Spring, summer, autumn, then winter
Many dreams unfinished
Through sunshine and storms
Our beloved home is always there
Always there, life’s journey goes everywhere
One precious thing remains: home
Through storms, love never fades
Time passes, things change
Joys and sorrows in life
One thing remains unchanged
Family love in my heart
No matter where, no matter how long
Home is where love never fades
Footsteps go everywhere
Home is the first safe haven
Working hard everywhere
Just to earn enough to rest at home
How long has it been since I returned home?
Because of wandering, through storms, east and west
Love and determination never waver
Family and memories are always strong
Like bricks, whether rich or poor
Time passes, things change
Joys and sorrows in life
One thing remains unchanged
Family love in my heart
Through storms, no matter the path
Home is where love never fades
Footsteps go everywhere
Home is the first safe haven
Spring, summer, autumn, then winter
Many dreams unfinished
Through sunshine and storms
Our beloved home is always there
Through storms, no matter the path
Home is where love never fades
Footsteps go everywhere
Home is the first safe haven

Lyrics:

Returning home, we share all joys and sorrows with family
Home is the best Tet, home is where Tet is busiest
Everywhere is Tet, but my heart only longs for home Tet
In the bustling city, life is busy, rarely time to rest
This year was probably the hardest, challenges everywhere
The whole year, I was far away, working overtime even during Tet
Just hoping to return home with more gifts
The road to hometown Tet is near, my heart and feet are eager
Returning home, we share all joys and sorrows with family
Home is the best Tet, home is where Tet is busiest
Everywhere is Tet, but my heart only longs for home Tet
Taking steps far away, just to earn enough to return
Sometimes life is tough, but I only want family’s smiles
After all the worries, I just want family’s warmth
Though the gift is small, it carries love
We know this year was hard, but we tried our best
The moment of returning home for Tet is the most precious
Returning home, Tet music fills the air, fireworks light up the sky
Drinking wine in front of the TV, saying goodbye to the old year
Far away, spring feels like home, children play with mandarin oranges
The scent of peach blossoms, Tet at home is the best
The road to hometown Tet is near, my heart and feet are eager
Returning home, we share all joys and sorrows with family
Home is the best Tet, home is where Tet is busiest
Everywhere is Tet, but my heart only longs for home Tet
No matter where I go, as long as my steps are steady
Through difficulties or success, traveling the world
Always remember, the most precious thing every year
Is being with family, welcoming the new year
Returning home, we celebrate Tet fully, returning home, we feel familiar Tet
Sitting together in front of the TV, welcoming the new year
Home is the best Tet, home is where Tet is busiest
Everywhere is Tet, but my heart only longs for home Tet
Everywhere is Tet, but my heart only longs for home Tet

Where there’s waiting, where there’s no worry
Where there are words of encouragement, where there’s no loneliness
Where there’s a night’s rest, where there’s Tet everywhere
If today someone compliments me casually
I’ll feel happier, happier now
If someone hugs me when I’m in pain
I’ll feel all my sorrows fade
Just a warm smile
A familiar voice from home
I feel my heart has a support
Just a small gift for tomorrow
Just a little care every day
I suddenly feel Tet is always here
Where there’s laughter, where there’s joy
Where there’s waiting, where there’s no loneliness
Where there are words of encouragement, where there’s no drifting
Where there’s a night’s rest, where there’s Tet everywhere
If today I give a word of love
I’ll feel happier, happier than usual
If we all look to the future together
We’ll see each day greener
Just a warm smile
A familiar voice from home
I feel my heart has a support
Just a small gift for tomorrow
Just a little care every day
I suddenly feel Tet is always here
Where there’s laughter, where there’s joy
