He was born not noble but humble at Silla,
But a boy had the dream the great dream for country.
When blindly he left his desolate and old Zillah,
He would be the great man on the naval history,
Young and small boy went to Tang
And grew to go around the fields with his mustang.
Through the many battle fields, he mastered
The long spear on the horse, and famous as an archer.
He promoted the general at the army, but the bastard
Pirates robed the Silla and be the catcher,
To the boys, and the kidnapped were sold as slaves,
To sweep the pirates, he pledged the waves.
He resigned and returned to the mother country,
And be the fleet commander and guarded the coast.
His fleet flied liked the winds, to the history
And the legend, the many stories, as a host
Of the Asian Sea, he left. The poet
Praised him, and the many merits that show’ it.
He is composed of the glorious naval pedigree,
Jang Bo-Goh, Wang Geon, Yi Sun-Shin and the other
Admirals, they not passed away, the memory
Of him, the Navy’s eternal father.
The old days, Du-Mu praised him his merits,
Today a bard praise the navy who inherits.
