Aegukka (The Patriotic Song) is the national anthem of North Korea. It is also known by the first phrase of the song Ach'imŭn pinnara or "Let Morning Shine."

Before the founding of North Korea, the northern part of Korea initially had as its anthem the same song as South Korea, but North Korea adopted this newly-written piece in 1947. The words were written by Pak Seyŏng (박세영; 朴世永; 19021989) and the music was composed by Kim Wŏn'gyun (김 원균; 金元均; 19172002).

North Korea National Anthem Lyrics

A ch'im un pinnara, i kangsan ungum e,

Chawon do kaduk han samch'olli,

Arumdaun nae choguk,

Panmannyon oraen ryoksa

E ch'allan han munhwa ro charanan

Sulgiroun inmin ui i yonggwang.

Mom gwa mam ta pach'yo,

I, choson kiri pattuse.


Ch'al paektusan kisang ul ta anko.

Kullo ui chongsin un kitturo.

Chilli ro mungch'yo jin oksen ttut

On segye apso nagari.

Sonnun him nodo do naemiro,

Inmin ui ttus uro son nara.

Han opsi pugang hanun

I choson kiri pinnaese.



English Translation:

Let morning shine on the silver and gold of this land,

Three thousand leagues packed with natural wealth.

My beautiful fatherland.

The glory of a wise people

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.

  • @ev1lm0nk3y64 Oh and China

  • @ev1lm0nk3y64 I guess you've never heard Vietnam's and Laos' anthems. They suck :/

    Laos to a bigger extent

  • Unfortunately anyone who isn't "buddies" with the USA isn't "buddies" with anyone. Time for the world to grow some fucking balls and think with their own policies.

  • Chunkyman was here.

  • Totally not a rip off of south korea's anthem.

  • @ev1lm0nk3y64

    Just enough, fortunately...

  • Love their anthem, hate their ruler.

  • North Korea is Best Korea

  • Horrendous dictatorships never fail to produce an attractive national anthem. As much as I'd like to slam Kim Jong Un's fat head into a concrete wall until he stops twitching, I cannot help but enjoy listening to this.

  • @KeenSceneProductions Herro from Pyonyang with rove!
