Dear brothers and sisters in North Korea! Men and officers of the North Korean Army!

We sympathize with you for suffering without freedom

For your comfort, we present a song to you now

The land in the north, the land in the south. They all belong to our fatherland

The mountain and the river are always the same,

but the Demarcation Line of 155 miles is still dividing our land

the blood of the same people, the blood of one nation. We got only this at great cost.

God! What will you do about the fate of our nation?

When will you answer the cry of the Korean people?
