Raise the spirit of the white-clad people of the East — ya ya ya ya
Oh yeah, ai iya arirang, oe eya diya, oa aya diya

Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo
Crossing over the Arirang hill
My love who leaves me behind won’t go ten ri before their feet hurt
Republic of Korea!

This chant adapts lyrics from “Arirang,” Korea’s most famous traditional folk song, and blends it with football support for South Korea. The mix of cultural heritage and stadium chanting makes it a powerful expression of Korean identity and national pride during soccer matches.

As for the word "Arirang," the exact origin of it is unknown, but it is often interpreted symbolically:

• Ari (아리): Can mean "beautiful," "dear," or "sorrow."
• Rang (랑): Can refer to a "beloved one" or "together with."
• Arirang: Together, it is commonly understood to mean "my beloved one." It also refers to a symbolic mountain pass (Arirang Pass) that one must cross, representing the journey of life and overcoming hardships.

Translation:

Republic of Korea, Republic of Korea, Republic of Korea, Korea
Republic of Korea, Republic of Korea, Republic of Korea, Korea
Ohhhhh, ohhhhhhh, ohhhhhhh, ohhhh
Republic of Korea, Republic of Korea, Republic of Korea, Korea

Translation:

Korea, ohhhhhhh
Korea, ohhhhhhh
Korea, ohhhhhhh
Korea, ohhhhhhh

A Korean football supporters’ chant adapted from Go West, the famous stadium anthem originally popularized by the Pet Shop Boys version. South Korean fans replaced the original lyrics with “한국” (“Korea”) to create a simple, loud chant for supporting South Korea during soccer matches.
