AN ODE TO COMRADE KIM JONG IL COMPOSED BY PRESIDENT KIM IL SUNG ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 50TH BIRTHDAY

February 16, 1992

白 頭 山 頂 正 日 峰

小 白 水 河 碧 溪 流

光 明 星 誕 五 十 週

皆 贊 文 武 忠 孝 備

萬 民 称 頌 齊 同 心

歡 呼 聲 高 震 天 地

Jong Il Peak rises high on Mt. Paektu

The blue waters of the Sobaek meanders;

Here, 50 years ago, the Bright Star was born

A master with pen and sword, loyal and dutiful.

He commands respect and praise from all.

And the cheers for him rock heaven and earth.
