The Ode To Changnyeong

The clear water of Nagdong River flows for ten thousand years, 
The clouds that cover Hwawang Mountain rain evenly down in time.
The Japanese invaders're defeated by the people who rose up as volunteers, 
The barbarians from the north were chased away by defending like the hardéned lime.
On the fertile paddies by the river, the ears of rice are bending and swaying.
On the abundant fields below the mountain, the fruits are politely drooping, 
In every school, and every classroom, the children's voices'll be filling, 
I wish, for the country's development, at the head, always, Changnyeong'll be leading...
