<br>
My friend (the author of 평양 에 두고 온 수술 가방 : 의사 오 인동 의 북한 방문기) kindly sent the following lyrics of the North Korean song you inquired about.<br>
<br>
김일성원수께 드리는 노래<br>
<br>
백두의 밀림에서 밝아온 이 아침<br>
우리는 수령의 노래 자랑으로 부르네<br>
이 노래 억눌렸던자 용사로 키워<br>
언제나 승리에로 고무해 주네<br>
이 노래 원쑤에겐 죽음을 주고<br>
승리한 조국땅에 울려 퍼지네<br>
아-... 언제나 친근한 우리 수령 김일성원수<br>
우리들은 심장으로 높이 부르네<br>
<br>
이 나라 아름다운 노래 많아도<br>
우리는 수령의 노래 영광으로 부르네<br>
이 노래 가슴에 지녀 자라난 우리<br>
싸움터마다에서 원쑤 부셨네<br>
이 노래 고지마다 영웅을 낳고<br>
마을과 거리마다 영광을 주네<br>
아-... 언제나 친근한 우리 수령 김일성원수<br>
우리들은 심장으로 높이 부르네<br>
<br>
찬란한 태양아래 행복은 꽃피고<br>
우리는 수령의 노래 소리높이 부르네<br>
이 노래 남녘의 형제 불러 일으켜<br>
한마음 통일 위하여 싸워 나가네<br>
이 노래 원쑤들을 짓누르면서<br>
이 땅에 사회주의 꽃피게 하네<br>
아-... 언제나 친근한 우리 수령 김일성원수<br>
우리들은 심장으로 높이 부르네<br>
