In our village an old man

On the day of potato distribution

Layed out a feast on the birthday table

Inviting all to join

Chewy potato tteok and Hamhung cold noodles

Delicious ggwabaegi and potato pancakes,

Potato pride- oh so many

Lost count at thirty

Oh ho ho potato pride

Potato chaltteok– honey flavoured

The grandmothers cluck their tongues

While the children go to and fro

The potato taffy is the best they say

The old man who ate a lot and lived to a ripe old age

Says while emptying a glass of potato liquor

Our world- is oh so good

And in my hometown it’s a potato bumper harvest

Oh ho ho potato pride

In the past people lived poorly

In this far-flung region which

Has today in the embrace of the party become a paradise on earth

Engage in much potato agriculture and live to an old age

Have many children and enjoy the pleasures of life

Sing of the good times

Did the old man from the long-lived family as he dances a dance

Oh ho ho potato pride

Potato pride- many on many

Flowers blossom in our lives

Oh ho ho potato pride
