about

National Anthem of Korea (North).
Adopted in 1947. After the split of the Koreas, South Korea kept the original words, North kept the original tune.

It's also a little weird that, while the lyrics are clearly communist propaganda, they neither directly mention or praise the Workers' Party of Korea, nor Kim Il-sung or Kim Jong-il's various cults of personality.

lyrics

Let morning shine on the silver and gold of this land,
Three thousand li 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 Baekdu
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.
