Grandma Goes to Market Vietnamese Song

Bà Còng Đi Chợ translated to English

The old lady goes to the market in the rain, the shrimp and the prawn escort her. They escort her through the crowded road, escort her back to the inner alley of her house. The money in her pocket falls out, the shrimp picks it up and returns it to her to buy vegetables.
