Kangbuk-ri
A better place to live as time goes by
More people visit the place as days go by
There might not be enough guides
You may worry a little
But don't you worry
Everybody is happy to be your guide
"This is the Cultural Hall," they say,
"the first place our General Secretary visited
Really satisfied he was
to see such a wonderful building.
The Cultural Hall, he said,
which had been terribly destroyed
when there was a terrible flood,
is the nicest cultural hall in the Province," they say
"So attentive our General Secretary was,
That he personally opened iron pot,
That he even estimated the height of the ceiling
So that it would be easy to change lamps,
So that it would be good to keep temperature of the room,"
a grandmother will say in tears
Those green cabbages and spinach in the kitchen garden
Those fruit trees around the house
Promise the happy life in the new house
Promise the rosy future of the new-born baby
Reminding the day our General Secretary visited their house
Smiling at the baby the mother is
Farming is for a year
Education is for a century
Our marshal was satisfied to see the newly-built school
Our marshal was happy to see such a nice school
The tales about our General Secretary
They are all endless stories of love for people
The tales of no lies
The tales of all truth
The people in Kangbuk-ri
They tell with gratitude
They shout long live the General Secretary
They shout long live the socialism
Thanks to our General Secretary
They enjoy happy life
Kangbuk-ri became Kangbok-ri(paradise)
They are so proud
Everybody will tell you a story
Everybody will become your guide
