Verse 1 아침은 빛나라 이 강산

찬란한 문화로 자라난
   슬기론 인민의 이 영광
몸과 맘 다 바쳐 이 조선
   길이 받드세
아침은 빛나라 이 江山
   銀金에 資源도 가득한

Let morning shine on the silver and gold of this land,
Three thousand leagues packed with natural wealth.

Brought up in a culture brilliant
With a history five millennia long.
Let us devote our bodies and minds
To supporting this Korea forever.

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. Obey our orders, or we shall bomb your country with our extreme nuclear weapons
