Arirang is one of Korea's most
revered folk songs. Kids are taught this song at a very young age
and all Koreans could recite it on a moment's notice. It was even
produced in a rock-n-roll format for the World Cup soccer games.
아리랑
아리랑, 아리랑, 아라리요...
아리랑 고개로 넘어간다.
나를 버리고 가시는 님은
십리도 못가서 발병난다.
청청하늘엔 별도 많고
우리네 가슴엔 꿈도 많다
저기 저 산이 백두산이라지
동지 섣달에도 꽃만 핀다

Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo...
Arirang gogaero neomeoganda.
Nareul beorigo gasineun nimeun
Simnido motgaseo balbyeongnanda.
Cheongcheonghaneuren byeoldo manko
Urine gaseumen kkumdo manta
Jeogi jeo sani Baekdusaniraji
Dongji seotdaredo kkonman pinda

Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo...
I am crossing over Arirang Pass.
The one who abandoned me here
Will not walk even ten feet before their feet hurt.
Just as there are many stars in the clear sky,
There are also many dreams in our hearts.
There, over there that mountain is Baekdu Mountain,
Where, even in the middle of winter days, flowers bloom.
