| 1st verse Until that day when Mt. Baekdu is worn away and the East Sea‘s[a] waters run dry, Long live our country, protected and aided by Heaven. Refrain: Mugunghwa and three thousand ri full of splendid mountains and rivers, Great Koreans, to the Great Korean way, stay true. 2nd verse As the pine atop Namsan Peak stands firm, unchanged through wind and frost, as if wrapped in armour, so shall our resilient spirit. Refrain 3rd verse The autumn skies are void and vast, high and cloudless; the bright moon is like our heart, undivided and true. Refrain 4th verse With this spirit and this mind, let us give all loyalty, in suffering or joy, to love our nation. Refrain | 1st verse Until the East Sea’s waves are dry, Mt. Baekdu 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 4th verse With such a will, such a spirit, loyalty, heart and hand, Let us love, come grief, come gladness, this our beloved land. Refrain |
