CHORUS


ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Until the East Sea's waves are dry, (and) Mt. Baekdusan worn away,
God watch o'er our land forever! Our country forever!

CHORUS
Rose of Sharon, thousand miles of range and river land!
Guarded by her people, ever may Korea stand!

Like that Mt. Namsan armoured pine, standing on duty still,
wind or frost, unchanging ever, be our resolute will.

CHORUS

In autumn's, arching evening sky, crystal, and cloudless blue,
Be the radiant moon our spirit, steadfast, single, and true.

CHORUS

With such a will, (and) such a spirit, loyalty, heart and hand,
Let us love, come grief, come gladness, this, our beloved land!

CHORUS
