1st verse
Until the East Sea’s waves are dry,
Mt. Paektu worn away,
God watch o’er our land forever,
our Korea manse.
Refrain:
Rose of Sharon,
thousand miles of range and river land;
Guarded by her people,
ever may Korea stand.
2nd verse
Like that Mt. Namsan armoured pine,
standing on duty still,
wind or frost, unchanging ever,
be our resolute will.
Refrain
3rd verse
In autumn’s, arching evening sky,
crystal and cloudless blue;
be the radiant moon our spirit,
steadfast, single and true.
Refrain

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