"천리마 달린다" (Chollima on the Wing) - North Korean Patriotic Song [Lyrics + Translation]

Let us give the noblest respect and eternal glory to Great Leader Comrade Kim Il-sung!
Performed by Kim Kwang Suk and the Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble in the early 1990s. This song was originally written in the 1960s, encouraging workers to accelerate the Chollima Movement, which initiated rapid economic development in the country.
Chollima itself is a mythical horse from Chinese folklore, said to be able to travel 1000 li (approx. 500 km) in a single day. Chollima was used by Kim Il-sung to energize the workers in Korea, bringing the country out of the rubble of the Korean War and turning the DPRK into a truly 'prosperous' country as fast as the chollima can run.
"에야차!" (Eyacha!) does not mean anything, but is an interjection like "Hey!" in English.

I do want to see Korea to be one in my lifetime, a hardworking people that would be very strong if the ressources of the North would be combined with the South. Despite being so small S.Korean is something like top10 in GDP, I think that with the reunification it could become top5.

KOREA is ONE REUNIFICATION for PEACE, PROSPERITY, PROGRESS.

The Chollima Movement (Korean: 천리마운동) was a state-sponsored Stakhanovite movement in North Korea intended to promote rapid economic development. Launched in 1956 or 1958, the movement emphasized "ideological incentives to work harder" and the personal guidance of Kim Il-sung rather than rational modes of economic management.
So basicly work harder, oaths!
