Come, come, my king!
Little king, golden-hearted king!
Our king, the son of the southern Kallan!
Even if they give you the name of a thief,
Chorus: You are no thief!
Male: There is no deceit in your heart!
Chorus: Oh no, not at all!
Hey, even if they give you the name of a thief,
Chorus: You are no thief!
Male: There is no deceit in your heart!
Chorus: Oh no, not at all!
Come, come, my king!
Little king, golden-hearted king!
Chorus: Our king, the son of the southern Kallan!
Even if your skin is dark,
your heart is not dark.
Even if you seem rough and tough,
even if you have a quick temper,
as a true friend, you would lay down your life.
You are not one to bow when hit on the head,
Chorus: Hey Kallan, oh Kallan!
Male: nor one who bullies those who bend down!
Chorus: Hey Kallan, oh Kallan!
Once you stand tall, you stand firm and proud!
Chorus: Hey Kallan, oh Kallan!
Male: Once you make up your mind, you see it through!
Chorus: Hey Kallan, oh Kallan!
In every single house,
Chorus: every doorstep,
Male: to you, it is all
Chorus: completely familiar!
Male: So that the whole town and people
Chorus: will praise and admire you,
Male: hoist your flag high upon the fort!
Chorus: ...
Come, come, my king!
Little king, golden-hearted king!
Chorus: Our king, the son of the southern Kallan!
Even the soil turns to gold
just by the touch of your hand!
That has always been your lucky touch!
For thorns to turn into flowers,
for stones to turn into sweet fruit,
write the name of Kallan and read it aloud!
For all the young maidens who have come of age,
Chorus: just hearing your name
Male: sparks a wish to marry you!
Chorus: Hey Kallan, oh Kallan!
Even for lazy folks who sleep all day,
Chorus: just hearing your name
Male: brings out the courage of a tiger!
Chorus: Hey Kallan, oh Kallan!
A lion in the forest...
Chorus: ...may be the king,
Male: ...but for this land, the king...
Chorus: ...is only you!
Male: Welcomed and embraced...
Chorus: ...by every group and faction,
Male: you are the true southern Kallan!
Chorus: ...
Come, come, my king!
Little king, golden-hearted king!
Chorus: Our king, the son of the southern Kallan!
Even if they give you the name of a thief,
Chorus: You are no thief!
Male: There is no deceit in your heart!
Chorus: Oh no, not at all!
Even if they give you the name of a thief,
Chorus: You are no thief!
Male: There is no deceit in your heart!
Chorus: Oh no, not at all!
Come, come, my king!
Little king, golden-hearted king!
Chorus: Our king, the son of the southern Kallan!
