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

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

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,

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