General Go GeonMu

Kinsley Lee

For long time, we'd seemed to forget, our historic victory

For fighting against the Nae-HoAh's forces.

Near the Daedong River, it had turned into hills already,

That the twenty thousand enemy's corpses.

The great historical triumph of General Eulji

Was owed to General Gogeon's victory,

But he fell to revolutionist's sword, so his merit washed

Away by the river's flow, sadly.
