Aegukga

(South Korean National Anthem in English)

Tong Hai Sea and Pakdoo Mountain, so long as they endure,

May God bless Korea our land for endless ages to come!


CHORUS

North to south bedecked with flowers, land of beauty rare,

May God keep our country united and preserve our land.


Eternally Naamsaan's pine trees stand like an armour sure,

Through whatever tempest or danger, as our symbol of strength.
