1절
동해 물과 백두산이 마르고 닳도록,
하느님이 보우하사 우리나라 만세.

후렴:
무궁화 삼천리 화려 강산,
대한 사람, 대한으로 길이 보전하세.

남산 위에 저 소나무 철갑을 두른 듯
바람서리 불변함은 우리 기상일세.

가을 하늘 공활한데 높고 구름 없이
밝은 달은 우리 가슴 일편단심일세.

괴로우나 즐거우나 나라 사랑하세.

1st verse
Until the East Sea's waves are dry, Mt. Baekdu worn away,
God watch o'er our land forever, our Korea manse.

Refrain:
Rose of Sharon, thousand miles of range and river land;
Guarded by her people, ever may Korea stand.

2nd verse
Like that Mt. Namsan armoured pine, standing on duty still,
wind or frost, unchanging ever, be our resolute will.

Refrain

3rd verse
In autumn's, arching evening sky, crystal and cloudless blue;
be the radiant moon our spirit, steadfast, single and true.

Refrain

4th verse
With such a will, such a spirit, loyalty, heart and hand,
Let us love, come grief, come gladness, this our beloved land.

Refrain
