Song to General Kim Il Sung was a North Korean marching song composed during the Korean War and 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"(Dawn in the East).

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

a! Our brilliant and beloved General
a! 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?

a! Our brilliant and beloved General
a! 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

a! Our brilliant and beloved General
a! Our exalted leader General Kim Il Seong
