This song was made from a famous poetry of Kim Chi-ha who wrote against Park military regime of south Korea in 1970s.
It was banned by the next military regime.
After 30years many people were surprised that president Noh sang it in public when he won the president election.
A number of Korean singers sang it, especially Kim Gwang-seok and Ahn Chi-hwan.
I introduce two versions of it. One is by Ahn Chi-hwan and another is the moment president Noh sang it.
(I like it by Kim Gwang-seok and I'd like to do but I'm afraid of his wife who has still grabbed his copyright after his death)
I also try to translate the song lyric into English with my poor English skill.
<타는 목마름으로>
with burning thirst
내 머리는 너를 잊은지 오래
my brain had forgotten you long time ago
내 발길도 너를 잊은지 너무도 오래
my feet had also forgotten you very long time ago
오직 한 가닥 타는 가슴 속
from a strand of thought inside my burning heart
목마름에 기억이
by the memory of thirst
내 이름을 남몰래 쓴다
I write your name down secretly
타는 목마름으로 타는 목마름으로
with burning thirst with burning thirst
민주주의여 만세
Bravo! Democracy
살아오는 저 푸르는 자유의 추억
coming up with the fresh nostalgia of freedom
되살아나는 끌려가던 벗들의 피묻은 얼굴
recalling the bloody faces of my friends captured
떨리는 손, 떨리는 가슴, 치떨리는 노여움이
with trembling hands, shaking heart, roaring fury
신새벽에 남몰래 쓴다
At the new dawn I write it down secretly
타는 목마름으로 타는 목마름으로
with burning thirst with burning thirst
민주주의여 만세!
Bravo! Democracy
