Let the Name of the Strongest Country in the World Become Well Known
떨쳐가자 천하제일강국
A super catchy patriotic song about DPRK pride and the advancements they have made and strive to make in the future. It’s a fun, easy to listen to type of song. Nothing too deep in it either musically or lyrically but I like it. Unfortunately, I was unable to track down any creation info for this one so if you happen to have a source on that let me know. I was also only able to find two performances of the song on YouTube: one by the Moranbong Band and the other by the Chongbong Band.
Performances
Moranbong Band
04.27.2015. I like the cute dance moves they do for this song. Most of the other songs in this concert feature very little dancing or even movement in general, so the dancing in this song is a welcome change of pace. Jong Hyu-sang in particular is an especially expressive dancer. Maybe that explains why she is so well loved by the camera?
Chongbong Band
02.16.2016. I actually like this version more than the Moranbong Band version. I like the more jazzy feel of it and the Chongbong singers voices fit together with the music perfectly.

Lyrics by Moranbong Band HD
Wonderful in splendid style
New factories and street complexes
In a flash, without a break, they keep popping up
On the ground of my prosperous Fatherland
Wherever you look
Through our bursting powers they reach the sky
Let our miracles be well known
So the whole world will look up to us
Let us be known for our bravery
To raise our nation’s pride
This country
One of the most powerful
Let its prospects become well known
Chollima spreading its wings
Taking the world by surprise
We fly at magical speeds
Powered by a firm belief in ourselves
Judged only by the strong
In the revival of our strong nation
We take the shortest route
Let our miracles be well known
So the whole world will look up to us
Let us be known for our bravery
To raise our nation’s pride
This country
One of the most powerful
Let its prospects become well known
Startling creations
By rushing ahead of time
Nothing will stop us on the way to the future
The spirit of our Marshal
Makes tomorrow look bright
Like a storm we will go towards victory
Let our miracles be well known
So the whole world will look up to us
Let us be known for our bravery
To raise our nation’s pride
This country
One of the most powerful
Let its prospects become well known

Lyrics by Moranbong Band HD
황홀하고 멋들어진
새 공장과 새 거리도
번개같이 단숨에 일떠세웠네
번영하는 내 조국땅
그 어디를 바라보아도
솟구치는 우리 힘 하늘에 돵았네
기적을 떨치자
세계가 우러러 보게
용맹을 떨치자
민족의 자존심 높이
내 나라 천하제일강국의
위용을 떨치여가자
천리마의 나래펴고
온세상을 놀래우며
신비로운 속도로 우리 날으네
자기 힘을 굳게 믿는
강자의 배심을 안고
부흥강국 지름길 열어나가네
기적을 떨치자
세계가 우러러 보게
용맹을 떨치자
민족의 자존심 높이
내 나라 천하제일강국의
위용을 떨치여가자
보란듯이 창조하며
세월넘어 비약하는
우리 앞길 막을자 어데 있으랴
원수님의 그 기상이
빛발치는 래일을 향해
폭풍치며 가리라 승리가 마주오네
기적을 떨치자
세계가 우러러 보게
용맹을 떨치자
민족의 자존심 높이
내 나라 천하제일강국의
위용을 떨치여가자
