No Motherland Without You
Chosŏn'gŭl 당신이 없으면, 조국도 없다
Hancha 이 없으면, 도 없다

Revised Romanization Dangsini eopseumyeon, jogukdo eopda

No Motherland Without You is North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's signature tune. It proclaims the talent and virtues of Kim Jong-il, and the attachment of the Korean people for him. The repeated phrase in the song is We cannot exist without you, Comrade Kim Jong-il! The motherland cannot exist without you! It is also considered to be the anthem of Songun politics, because Kim Jong-il implemented the Songun (military-first) policy to North Korean politics (in coexistence with the Juche Idea) in 1995. It is frequently broadcasted on the radio and from loudspeakers on the streets of Pyongyang.[1]

Lyrics

Though the official lyrics use the phrase 김정일동지 (Comrade Kim Jong-il) to refer to the son of Kim Il-sung, the current usage of the song refers to the North Korean leader as 김정일장군 (General Kim Jong-il), due to his capacity as the Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army since 1991. The lyrics upheld by the Korean Workers' Party are as follows:

Chosŏn'gŭl Chosŏn'gŭl with Hancha McCune-Reischauer Revised Romanization English translation

사나운 폭풍도 쳐몰아내고
신념을 안겨준 김정일동지
당신이 없으면 우리도 없고,
당신이 없으면 조국도 없다!

미래도 희망도 다 맡아주는
민족의 운명인 김정일동지
당신이 없으면 우리도 없고,
당신이 없으면 조국도 없다!

세상이 열백번 변한다해도
인민은 믿는다 김정일동지
당신이 없으면 우리도 없고,
당신이 없으면 조국도 없다!

아…… 우리의 김정일동지
당신이 없으면 조국도 없다!

사나운 暴風도 쳐몰아내고
信念을 안겨준 金正日同志
當身이 없으면 우리도 없고,
當身이 없으면 祖國도 없다!

未來도 希望도 다 맡아주는
民族의 運命인 金正日同志
當身이 없으면 우리도 없고,
當身이 없으면 祖國도 없다!

世上이 열百番 變한다해도

當身이 없으면 祖國도 없다!

아…… 우리의 金正日同志

You pushed away the severe storm
You made us believe, Comrade Kim Jong-il
We cannot live without you
Our country cannot exist without you!

Our future and hope depend on you
People's fate depends on you, Comrade Kim Jong-il!
We cannot live without you
Our country cannot exist without you!

Even if the world changes hundreds of times
People believe in you, Comrade Kim Jong-il
We cannot live without you
Our country cannot exist without you!

Oh... Our Comrade Kim Jong-il
Our country cannot exist without you!

  • Note: the military version of the song refers to Kim Jong-il as General Kim Jong-il, not Comrade Kim Jong-il, because of his concurrent capacities as KPA Supreme Commander-in-Chief since 1991 and Chairman of the DPRK National Defense Commission since 1993, while the civilian/official version refers otherwise, because of his capacity as Workers Party of Korea General Secretary since 1997 and other previous and present civilian positions
