"Bắc Kim Thang" is a traditional Vietnamese children's song that tells the story of a character who climbs a ladder, humorously describing various mishaps and scenarios. The song is notable for its playful and slightly eerie tone, often used to entertain children while subtly teaching them about caution and safety. Its repetitive and catchy melody makes it a popular choice in children's gatherings, reflecting the everyday life and culture of Vietnamese rural areas.

The North Star Vietnamese Song
Bắc Kim Thang translated to English
The melon vine climbs the pole Beam to post and post to beam The oil seller slipped off the bridge Why did the frog seller stay behind? The little heron plays the drums and horns The bittern blows toot-toot, toot-toot The melon vine climbs the pole Beam to post and post to beam The oil seller slipped off the bridge Why did the frog seller stay behind? The little heron plays the drums and horns The bittern blows toot-toot, toot-toot
