    *Notes about the song*
    It's a song sung from a man's perspective to a girl named BokSun whom he loves.
    Some interesting things are shown in the lyrics:
    -There are some lyrics showing(boasting) North Korea's communist state.
    On verse 2, the protagonist's heart 'lights up(in happiness)' hearing that his lover did ‘300 of her labor plans’. On verse 3, there are lyrics of 'the innovator(most likely Kim)’.
    -This music and video is most likely made by the state. The North Korea that is shown here(apartment buildings!) is the better part of North Korea. Most North Koreans live in a much worse state.
    -Linguistically, as a South Korean, it’s quite fascinating how North Korea does much less spacing between words than South Korea. ‘내 마음 (my feelings)’ is ‘내마음(myfeelings)’ in North Korean punctuation. Also, it’s written in a much antique style of speech. The lyrics are like script from the 1900s. The name used (Bok-sun) is also an antique name(a ‘grandma-name’).
    I had an assignment in school to research the ways South Korea should preserve its traditional music(gug-ak). So I searched up North Korea’s pop music, thinking it would have some traditional music in it. But I was met with synth-music that sounds and reads like it’s from the 80s, with some communist propaganda sprinkled on top. There’s no sight of traditional Korean music in this song.
    I did this translation in a whim, seeing that a lot of people wanted translations. So here you go! Hope you have a nice day.

      Thank you for the translation, there’s something kind of eerie about this song.
      There are some leftover traditional elements in some NK-pop songs, such as Tondollari, and Heullari, and I think parts of arirang are used in some. Of course these are synthesised but I suppose it’s an acknowledgement of a time before the kims still.
      I’m not expert just parroting what i know when i looked into their meanings.

    One thing to notice here is the genuine warmth and respect with which the lad pursues his love interest. Him bowing to her and bringing her flowers really show that the North values decency, equality and civility amongst their society. Compared to the western music full of oversexualization, degeneracy, foul language and references to violence, this one really makes one feel at ease.

      Once we meet, it seems that we can never meet again, and whether we meet or meet, we want to see it again.
      When you smile after finishing today's work,
      What should I do if my heart flutters
      3
      fifi ho ho fifi ho ho fifi ho ho  Whistle
      I blew the whistle last night too
      I've been blowing for months now, whistle
      If you hold a lot of beautiful bouquets and whistle
      Boksun should be able to understand my heart too
      (Boksun is a name that was most common in women on the Korean Peninsula in the past.)

      Yet modern day pop in the States has nothing rooted in traditional US culture and it's just a bunch of basic white chicks singing nasally autotune with drum machines and a push-button DJ instead of a band.

      es un poco raro, el clip tiene un ambiente que no parece el de un país comunista y menos de Corea del norte parece de otro país asiático desarrollado como Japón o Corea del Sur
