KPA 85th anniversary concert — Intro monologue — Subtitles
Channel: Communist Communications
Date: 2019-12-25

The monologue at the beginning of the concert. I didn't find lyrics, I had to write it down as I heard it, so some lines may be wrong. But I haven't seen many monologues translated, so I think it will still be interesting to listen to.


The pine tree (mentioned in 0:56) is a symbol of strength and endurance in the DPRK's music lyrics. "Paektu's peerlessly great persons" (mentioned in 1:15) are, of course, Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
In the entire subtitles, I had to find a middle between what is literally written and what sounds good in English. So the word order is strange sometimes, because I didn't know how to make a good word order that still matches the Korean text. I hope that my translation still makes sense.
