Aegukga
(Song of Love of Country)
Anthem for the Republic of South Korea
 


According to some experts, it's not the "official" anthem, but it is the patriotic song of choice for the millions of Koreans living on the southern part of the peninsula.
 

 
English Translation

Words Back, Jong Seob 
Music Ahn, Eak Tae
 

Until the East Sea's waves are dry, Baek-du-san worn away,
God watch o'er our land forever! Our Korea hail!

CHORUS

Rose of Sharon, thousand miles of beautiful mountain and river land!
Guarded by her people, ever may Korea stand!

Like that South Mountain armored pine, standing on duty still,
Wind or frost, unchanging ever, be our resolute will.

CHORUS

In autumn's arching evening sky, crystal, and cloudless blue,
Be the radiant moon our spirit, steadfast, single and true.

CHORUS

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

CHORUS
