Korean & English Translation

동해 물과 백두산이 마르고 닳도록Until the East Sea's waters and Mount Baekdu dry and wear away

하느님이 보우하사 우리나라 만세May God protect us, long live our country

무궁화 삼천리 화려강산Mugunghwa, three thousand ri of splendid rivers and mountains

대한사람 대한으로 길이 보전하세May the Korean people preserve Korea forever

남산 위에 저 소나무 철갑을 두른 듯That pine tree on Namsan, as if wrapped in iron armor

바람서리 불변함은 우리 기상일세Its unchanging steadfastness through wind and frost is our spirit

가을 하늘 공활한데 높고 구름 없이In the autumn sky, vast and open, high and cloudless

밝은 달은 우리 가슴 일편단심일세The bright moon is the one-hearted loyalty in our hearts

이 기상과 이 맘으로 충성을 다하여With this spirit and this heart, let us give our full devotion

괴로우나 즐거우나 나라 사랑하세Whether in hardship or joy, let us love our country
