Lyrics for 애국가
동해 물과 백두산이 마르고 닳도록
하느님이 보우하사 우리나라 만세
무궁화 삼천리 화려강산
대한사람 대한으로 길이 보전하세
남산 위에 저 소나무 철갑을 두른 듯
바람서리 불변함은 우리 기상일세
무궁화 삼천리 화려강산
대한사람 대한으로 길이 보전하세
가을 하늘 공활한데 높고 구름 없이
밝은 달은 우리 가슴 일편단심일세
무궁화 삼천리 화려강산
대한사람 대한으로 길이 보전하세
이 기상과 이 맘으로 충성을 다하여
괴로우나 즐거우나 나라 사랑하세
무궁화 삼천리 화려강산
대한사람 대한으로 길이 보전하세
Read it in English
Until that day when Mt. Baekdu is worn away
and the East Sea's waters run dry
May God preserve our country
our long-living homeland!
Hibiscus and three thousand li (Chinese mile)
full of splendid mountains and rivers;
Koreans, to the Korean way,
stay always true!
As the pine atop Namsan Peak stands firm,
unchanged through wind and frost,
as if wrapped in armour,
so shall our resilient spirit.
Hibiscus and three thousand li
full of splendid mountains and rivers;
Koreans, to the Korean way,
stay always true!
The autumn skies are void and vast,
high and cloudless;
the bright moon is like our heart,
undivided and always true.
Hibiscus and three thousand li
full of splendid mountains and rivers;
Koreans, to the Korean way,
stay always true!
With this spirit and this mind,
let us give all loyalty,
in suffering or joy,
to love our nation.
Hibiscus and three thousand li
full of splendid mountains and rivers;
Koreans, to the Korean way,
stay always true!
