"Our Great Country" Sings of DPRK's Pride
Pyongyang, July 3 (KCNA) -- "Our Great Country", a song created in the late 1990s, inspires the people in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea with a pride of living in a great country.

The song tells about the dignity of the DPRK, which has emerged a socialist power thanks to leader Kim Jong Il.

For weak national might, Korea had been put under the colonial rule of the Japanese imperialists and its people had lived like slaves.

The history left a lesson that a country is doomed to be ruined, if it is misled by a leader.

The song's refrain says that led by Kim Jong Il the DPRK is great, showing that the country shining with his august name is a powerful nation, though its territory is not large.

The song is allamarcia, with its melody characterized by dynamic rhythm and diverse artistic features.
