Lyrics - Transliteration
(South Korean folk song)
Dong, Dong, Dongdaemuneul yeoreora,
Nam, Nam, Namdaemuneul yeoreora,
Yeol dusiga doemyeoneun, (or jinamyeon,)
Open the East, East, East Grand Gate,
Open the South, South, South Grand Gate,
When it’s at twelve sharp,
The gates are closed.
Korean (Hangul) – 동, 동, 동대문을
동, 동, 동대문을 열어라,
남, 남, 남대문을 열어라,
12시가 되면은, (or 지나면,)
