National Liberation Day Of Korea

National Liberation Day Of Korea

 

Freedom means August 15, 1945.

Koreans celebrate their day of liberation.

 

Freedom is like a Magpie,

Flying in the morning sky,

Above the ancient palaces of Seoul,

 

Freedom is like the Rose of Sharon,

Growing in "The land of morning calm."

 

Freedom is like a river named Han,

Unstoppable!

 

Freedom means flying the Taegeukgi.

Outside and high!

 

Freedom is Lively,

Freedom is President Moon Jae-in

President of South Korea,

 

Freedom is vibrant!

Freedom is festivals,

 

Freedom is unhindered!

Freedom is a Buddhist monk,

Everland!,

 

Freedom is unbound!

Freedom is tasty Kimchi,

Deoksugung Palace!

 

Freedom is lively parties,

Freedom is dancing,

The greatest Palaces of Seoul!

 

Freedom is treasured!

 

Freedom is a green bottle,

Soju!

 

Freedom is Arirang!

Korea's song,

A gift to the world from Korea,

 

Freedom is Queen Min; Still remembered,

Resting under a cherry blossom tree,

 

Freedom is Seoul!

A wonder to be seen on the Han River!

 

Freedom is luminous,

Busan Nightlife,

Changdeokgung Palace!

 

Freedom is unchained!

Freedom is sports,

Jeju-do!

 

Freedom is escape!

Freedom is honor!

Battle of Inchon!

 

Freedom is rising in the sky,

One of the most dynamic cities,

Seoul!

 

Freedom is no longer

Imprisoned,

Freedom is camping,

 

Freedom is priceless!

Freedom is one's honor!

Deoksugung Palace!

 

Freedom is treasured!

Freedom is the miracle,

Seoul!

 

Freedom is food,

Freedom is Kimchi,

 

Freedom is hopeful,

Freedom is Yu Gwan-sun!

Long live Korean independence!

 

Freedom is a Buddhist monk writing,

Freedom is thinking about your dreams,

Not looking behind your back!

 

Freedom is a child going to school,

Freedom is ultra-modern,

Seoul!

 

Freedom is escape!

Freedom is music,

K-POP!

 

Freedom is Arirang playing,

Freedom is essential,

White Day!

 

Freedom, people, shining in the sun,

Freedom is loved,

Yuna Kim!

 

Freedom is essential,

Freedom is "The March 1st Movement",

Yu Gwan-sun!

 

Freedom is shopping,

Freedom is walking our dogs,

 

Freedom is writing what you think,

Freedom is Sejong the Great!,

Hangul!

 

Freedom is bringing your dreams into the world,

Freedom is poetry,

Yun Dong-ju!

 

Freedom is traditions,

Freedom is wearing Hanbok.

 

Freedom is being empowered!

 

Freedom is.

Freedom is.

Freedom is.

 

A United Korea!!!
