Original Lyrics in Korean
아침은 빛나라 이 강산,
철갑을 두른 듯
불변함은 우리 기상일세.
다시한번 이 강산,
태양의 빛발 위에
새 세대 자라난다.
기상과 충성의
무궁화 삼천리
화려 강산
길이 보전하세!

Shine bright, you dawn, on this land so fair,
With armor of iron we will defend,
Our eternal spirit unchanging.
On this land again,
Under the rays of the sun,
A new generation is growing.
The spirit and loyalty of
Three thousand miles of splendid rivers and mountains,
Let them shine forever and ever,
Protected and everlasting!
