Beyond the crest
Of the peaceful land of ours,
Of love, compassion and humanity
Stares at us cruelly an untrusted masquerading face
With long red greening teeth, hands blood smeared
In their favourite back-stabbing game waged on since long
Unseen and unhidden from us, but exposed to global eyes.
The so called dogma
Of the people beyond, gone astray

Mere watan ke har uss jawaan ko salaam,
Jo ladaa apni jaan Ko karke kurbaan.
Apni zindagi ka na rakha koi maan,
Or chal diye ladne dushmano se seena taan.
Hamare jawaano ki hai apni hi shaan,
Na kabhi bane kisi ke bhi gulaam.
Par laalat hai aise aatankwaadiyo par yar,
Jinhe sikhaya gaya karna peeth par vaar.
Unhe lagaa ab Bharat maan gya haar,

We are bequeathed on the nation,
And the nation bequeathed to us.
Have pride they said,
For it is the only one in the universe.
Culture! Culture! Cried the painter,
Oldest of the old.
A single stroke, a blazing hue,
He drew as he was told.

Welcome to the church,
Hear the voice
That of the preacher.
'Blessed is the one
Who reads the words
Of this prophesy,
And blessed are those
Who hear it
And take to heart
What is written in it,

O my Countrymen!
Don’t shed a tear,
What if I die.
With so many bullets in my chest,
On a mountain, so high.
O my Parents!
Don’t shed a tear,
What if I die.
Not like before, now you see me freely,
......
Peaches heated by my sun
A dress so simple and so cotton
Would that child ever come
Back home
Where she is forgotten
Would the wind caress the ankles
Like it did so many times before
Would that land eventually remember
That her daughter is left outdoors?

The late spring in the field, the coquelicots are blooming
In this Imjin area, on the vale and hill.
Spring’s coming, the red thieves were looming,
And human-wave attacking, to the Gloster hill.
Here and there, on the hero’s blood,
The flowers’re blooming as the hue of blood.
In this area, one thousand years ago,
The Tang Dynasty Army invaded
And the Silla soldiers blocked their blow.

They were the gallant Royal Guards soldiers in Ethiopia
But one days applied to participated the war broken at unknown
Country, far away. They descended the Olympia
To the port. And arrived the land the cannonballs flown.
The name "Kangnew", it means the invincible at the battle,
The heroes wrote the many legends and the core
Operations they carried out. With the sky-high mettle,
They planted the freedom on the land which torn by war.

Thou, sacred souls, repayed debt of thine beloved motherland;
Have gifted thine mother with a blooded garland.
Thou, have fulfilled thine promise;
by anointing your pure blood in her praise.
Thy, bravery in the every part of earth hear;
from whom the death comes to fear.
Thou, were fearless and determined servant towards thine mother;
Who serves her with the spirit full of fervour.
Thou, have the power in the hand to change destiny;
have the power to free your mother from chains of slavery.
