South Korean National Anthem
Lyrics
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!
