North Korea National Anthem Lyrics
A ch’im un pinnara, i kangsan ungum e,
Chawon do kaduk han samch’olli,
Arumdaun nae choguk,
Panmannyon oraen ryoksa
E ch’allan han munhwa ro charanan
Sulgiroun inmin ui i yonggwang.
Mom gwa mam ta pach’yo,
I, choson kiri pattuse.
Ch’al paektusan kisang ul ta anko.
Kullo ui chongsin un kitturo.
Chilli ro mungch’yo jin oksen ttut
On segye apso nagari.
Sonnun him nodo do naemiro,
Inmin ui ttus uro son nara.
Han opsi pugang hanun
I choson kiri pinnaese.
English
Let morning shine on the silver and gold of this land,
Three thousand leagues packed with natural wealth.My beautiful fatherland.
The glory of a wise people
Brought up in a culture brilliant
With a history five millennia long.
Let us devote our bodies and minds
The firm will, bonded with truth,
Nest for the spirit of labour,
Embracing the atmosphere of Mount Paektu,
Will go forth to all the world.
The country established by the will of the people,
Breasting the raging waves with soaring strength.
Let us glorify forever this Korea,
Limitlessly rich and strong.
To supporting this Korea forever.
Traditional Korean bridal gowns consist of an elaborately embroidered and layered gown with a red skirt and yellow jacket symbolizing joy and life. The short jacket with sleeves is called a chogori. It has two long ribbons that tie, making the otkorum (traditional tie found on Korean garb). The long skirt, or chima, is high-waisted and wraps around the body. Brides traditionally wear boat-shaped shoes made of silk.
