Song to General Kim Il Sung was a North Korean marching song composed during the Korean War that was sung by the North Koreans and their Chinese allies. It was once reported to be more popular in China than the song praising Mao Zedong -- "Dongfang Hong" (The East is Red).

Following is the English translation of the song to General Kim Il Seong

Changbai Hills roll, stained with blood
Yalu River meanders, soaked in blood
Today Free Coseon's wreath of glories
Radiates holy rays
Ah! Our brilliant and beloved General
Ah! Our exalted leader General Kim Il Seong
Vast snowy fields of Manchuria please tell me
Endless night deep in the Taiga please tell me
Immortal guerilla warrior, who is he?
Outstanding patriot, who is it?
Ah! Our brilliant and beloved General
Ah! Our exalted leader General Kim Il Seong
Librator of the working people, our savior
Democratic new Coseon, great Sun
We rally around the Twenty Principles
Everywhere in North Korea is spring
Ah! Our brilliant and beloved General
Ah! Our exalted leader General Kim Il Seong
