Arirang -- Korean Folk Song

Verse 1 (w/ refrain)
아리랑, 아리랑, 아라리요...
아리랑 고개로 넘어간다.
나를 버리고 가시는 님은
십리도 못가서 발병난다.

Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo...
Arirang gogaero neomeoganda.
Nareul beorigo gasineun nimeun
Simnido motgaseo balbyeongnanda.

Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo...
I am crossing over Arirang Pass.
The man/woman who abandoned me [here]
Will not walk even ten li before his/her feet hurt.

Verse 2 (w/o refrain)
청청하늘엔 별도 많고
우리네 가슴엔 꿈도 많다

Cheongcheonghaneuren byeoldo manko
Urine gaseumen kkumdo manta

Just as there are many stars in the sky,
There are also many sorrows in my heart.

Verse 3 (w/o refrain)
저기 저 산이 백두산이라지
동지 섣달에도 꽃만 핀다

Jeogi jeo sani Baekdusaniraji
Dongji seotdaredo kkonman pinda

There, over there that mountain is Baekdusan,
Where, even to the last days of winter, flowers bloom.
