   • 1992, Ryu Yong-nam (류용남), “평양의 사계절 [pyeong'yang'ui sagyejeol, The Four Seasons of Pyongyang]”:

     평양의 가을은 언제나 좋아
     대성산렬사릉에 붉은 꽃 한다발 정히 드리고
     관성차 레루따라 옷자락도 날리는
     평양의 가을은 언제나 좋아

     The autumn of Pyongyang is always so fine.
     With a solemn bundle of red flowers offered at the Taesongsan Martyrs' Cemetery,
     Aboard the roller coaster, my clothes danced in the wind.
     The autumn of Pyongyang is always so fine.

   • 2010, “당을 노래하노라 [dang'eul noraehanora, I Sing in Praise of the Party]”, Cha Yong-do (차영도) (lyrics), Hwang Jin-yong (황진영) (music):

     천만의 아들딸 영웅으로 키워온
     그대의 붉은 당기발
     기폭에 어머니옷자락이 어려와
     목메여 노래하노라

     Your bright red Party banner,
     Having nurtured and turned myriad children into heroes,
     Yet faintly mirrors my mother's skirt's hem in its fluttering folds.
     Choked with emotion, I am singing this anthem to you.
