ENGLISH TEXT (from Uriminzokkiri website)
I see you the green willow tree growing by stream
Why do you feel so shy without lifting your head?
When other trees hold their heads erect for show
You are only dropping your head modestly
La la la la, la la la la
Oh, you, green willow tree

I see you swaying even in soft breeze
Your twigs are so soft that I like to touch them.
The wind blew hard enough to twist your wrist,
But it failed to break your heart even once
La la la la, la la la la, you, green willow tree.

I see you, dear to me, swaying still now.
You seem to have resembled all our hearts.
As you know the grateful land better than anything else,
You make a deep bow to it where you struck root.
La la la la, la la la la, you, tree of my country.
