The Story of Arirang

[@tillyd3633]

My little sister was adopted from Korea when she was 3 years old. She used to hum Arirang without me realising that she was singing it. Now, on her 6th birthday I was just watching a video of SoHyang. The moment she started singing my sister started to cry and told me she always hummed it when she was scared but that she had lost the words. So on her 6th birthday I gave her the words of Arirang. This song is so special to our family.

Your brief story is very powerful. It brings tears to the eyes of even the hamsters.

Ahhhh 😭😭😭

[@molly3711]

That’s such a sweet story. 💗

[@tomsawyer8311]

Thank you for sharing such an intriguing story! I remember some words attributed to the Bible, “In the beginning was the Word”, but as it did in your story, it seems to me that music comes earlier and goes further than words. Perhaps for Koreans, the song of Arirang is their second nature through which they can picture who they are and make the way home.

Beautiful story. It's a very special country to me. Greetings from Germany.

My father was in US Air Force. I lived at Hickam AFB for 4 years. At my school during my 5th an 6th grades (1961 & 1962) I was in the school choir. The teacher who was the choir director taught us songs from many different countries. We learned two Korean songs one of which was "Arirang." I was 10 and 11 years old at that time. I am now 68 and to this day I remember most of the songs I learned from my teacher Mrs. Tom. She was half Swedish and half Korean - she was beautiful. She had visited Korea many times and had Korean instruments to accompany the choir (she taught us how to play them). We had the traditional Korean flutes, the hand held paddle drums and two very large hour glass drums which she had us use during performances. She also taught choir members traditional dances from many countries. Because of the huge multi-cultural make up of the Hawaiian Islands we also had acquired traditional clothes to wear from the various countries. The other Korean song's English title was Longing for Brother" and is just as beautiful as "Arirang"." I wish I could find it online. The story is a sad one also it is about a young girl waiting for her brother to return after leaving home. But he never returns. The first line of song (English phonetics) is U le u le ue u le o. The tune is a very soft and sorrowful one. Mrs. Tom required perfection from our choir and as a result we sounded almost professional and were invited to sing at venues all over the island of Oahu. Perhaps someone out there knows the other Korean song and can present it on KZbin. Having been a military "brat" and later I myself was in the US Navy I had the awesome opportunity to live in and experience different cultures. I always engrossed myself in those cultures, tried my best to learn the language (usually not well but I tried) and not be "the arrogant American." As a result I made friends with the local community and was often included in activities usually reserved for close family. I was treated like family and loved as family. I always had more local friends than American friends I also learned to cook traditional foods which I still do to this day (my favorites are Portuguese Al catre, Fillipino lumpia nd Chinese dumplings). Wish all peoples of the world could unite with each other and live in harmony as I did with others different from me. To this day I have friends of various cultures and backgrounds. My best friends are University professors who hand been in USA for 1 yr working at University of Oklahoma. One, along with her 7 yr old son, was my roommate for 9 months. She is from Chongqing China. In often video chat with her on WeChat.

That's a very beautiful story, inter-cultural experiences like this are truly special and definitely widens our worldview. Watching documentaries about Hawaii, I am able to see the eclectic mix of different backgrounds living in harmony and the formation of Pidgin which unites Hawaiian people. I just hope USA treats Hawaii better in the future and your people get the respect they truly deserve.

I am a housekeeper for a Hospital and many of our patients were veterans. Yesterday, for the first time I met a Korean War veteran who fought for the freedom of South Korea. He was one of the US soldiers deployed to Korea and when I walked into the room, I said hello not knowing who he was or what stories he had buried in his heart and mind. Eventually I told him my love story with the guy I am engaged to (who so happens to be a Korean citizen) and told him I will be going to live in Korea with him and further my education over there as well. He looked into my eyes, watery and fragile, he said "He takes good care of you right?" I responded with a "yes sir he does." and he said "When you go over there, open your mind to their culture, and be nice to those Koreans you hear me? Teach them a bit about us and let them teach you." My eyes were watering but I kept a straight face and nodded my head. He told me his stories about seeing the korean children so astonished at the american soldiers for helping them, and told me the poverty they faced years ago. He spoke of how the korean children would beg for foood and he always ended up giving them as much as he could, since food was sparse. I realized the staff of my hospital didnt give him an american flag for the service he did (so I grabbed one for him) and saluted him strongly. With tears rolling down his face he asked me to do him a favor. I said, whatever you need I will do for you. He asked me to find a song he sang with the korean people while serving in Korea and so eventually I found it. I told him that no matter what happens to him, I will save a seat for him at my wedding in Korea so he may come. It was that moment where I turned to him and cried because I knew he wouldnt be alive for my wedding. I will never forget what he taught me. I will never forget to get him the last thing he wanted which was a vinyl of this song, and once I get married I will play this in his honor. One stranger, an old man, made such a connection with me and is now placed in my heart forever. Its amazing how one person can touch your heart so strongly. Korea, you made it. You are strong people and always have been. Its an honor to learn your culture and to have an opportunity to study there.

Subtitle) The Joseon Dynasty Na) No one knows who was the first person to sing Arirang. But we know that somewhere in the distant past, Arirang was sung by the people living in mountain villages in Korea. It was handed down by word of mouth. No one could have realized then that Arirang, a very long time later, would have acquired the cultural value it embodies today for humanity to treasure. Na) Young Koreans these days are enjoying Arirang in many different ways. Arirang is a culture of sharing revealing that we are one. Na) Korean children don’t learn Arirang through a musical score. Children simply absorb the Arirang sung by their parents and grandparents. It becomes second nature to them. Na) This unique sentiment formed naturally during childhood also becomes part of the core of Koreans’ creativity. Subtitle) Art, Film, Literature, Performance Na) A variety of versions of Arirang exists in Korea. Subtitle) Sung by Lee Chun-hee, the Master Singer (Intangible Cultural Asset Number 57 Gyeonggi Folksong Human Cultural Asset) Subtitle) “Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo, Over the heart of the Arirang hill” Na) To the older generation, the song embraces other meanings as well. Subtitle) “There are songs we sing when working in the field when the going gets tough; there are songs we sing when it is hard to live with the in-laws.” Subtitle)”It’s because of the pent-up piles of sorrow and sadness that couldn’t be released.” Na) Arirang was a song of consolation to oneself, living a hard life in the country of poverty. Subtitle)”It just flows out, without me even realizing it. I sing Arirang when I am sad, and when I am happy.” Na) Like the pain of love and goodbye there are the hills of life that everyone has to conquer. It is the song that people sang when walking along those curves of life, the curves of happiness, sadness, love and anger. The song longing to transform the despair into hope. That is Arirang. Subtitle) Japanese Occupation Period 1910~1945 Na) Korea was invaded and occupied by Japan during the era of imperialism. Subtitle) Independence Fighters against Japan Na) People were grieving under the Japanese brutal rule, and the wave of resistance to bring the country back had grown fiercer. Subtitle) Film [Arirang]-The embodiment of hurtful and suffering life during the period of colonization Na) The film evoked an intense sympathy and Arirang became the symbol of resistance. It was not just a song. It became the spirit of the nation. Subtitle) 1945, Independence Na) After regaining the motherland, Koreans had to endure another war and the pain of being torn into two parts. Subtitle) Division and War Na) Koreans of the 20th century had to experience one of the harshest hardships. Only 60 years ago, Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world. Subtitle) One of the world’s poorest countries. But Koreans didn’t let go of hope. Na) From a farming country to an industrial nation, from a country in need to provide help- Korean people ran towards the hope from the dawn to the night. And finally, achieving it. Na) The world have called it the “Miracle of the Han River.” Subtitle) Miracle of the Han River Na) Koreans always had a strong, tough grasp of life. They also had Arirang that brought out hope, giving consolation to the people who sang it to each other. The living strength of Arirang was that of Koreans. Subtitle) 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup Na) In 2002 at the Korea-Japan World Cup, Koreans’ shouts yearning for victory became Arirang. Subtitle) The 69th Venice Film Festival/Best Director, Kim Ki-Duk Na) After receiving the director’s award, the Korean movie director sings Arirang instead of his award speech. Subtitle) The 21st Vancouver Winter Olympic Gold medalist Kim Yuna Na) The Korean figure skater on top of the world shows her respect towards her mother country with Arirang. Na) Arirang now has become a song to express passion and joy. Na) Arirang also touches the hearts of the people of other countries. Subtitle) Pianist, George Winston “Arirang has a touch of the Blues. The music has the feeling that transcends culture or nations.” Subtitle) Jazz Singer, Inger Marie “The sentiment this song is embracing vibes into my heart. Arirang is a song full of emotion. It is a deeply appealing song of the world. ” Subtitle) 2012 Arirang, UNESCO-Designated Na) In 2012, Arirang was designated as Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Na) Koreans wish to share Arirang with the people of the world. As it did it for Koreans, Koreans believe that Arirang could bring hope and consolation to each and every one of the people all over the world. Na) Arirang emerged from the hearts of the ordinary people of Korea. People sang it to themselves and to each other. It made it possible for the people to "ascend the summit called an era." And it came to represent their spirit and their hope for the future. Koreans now sing Arirang, for the whole planet, in every part of the world.

@Namewee 看了四葉草馬來西亞查某的MV評論區裏有超多韓國人的謾罵聲就打算了解一下他們在駡什麼。其中一個很多人駡的原因是你在阿裏郎音樂嚮起後吐出舌頭，他們覺得在侮辱阿裏郎。我就嘗試找了一下關於阿裏郎的資料。這Kibok Jung的評論和評論上面的紀錄片很棒。清楚地解釋了阿里郎這首歌對南北韓人的各種意義。它表達了二戰時期家人和骨肉分離的各種痛苦。韓國人在痛苦的時候唱著它也在舉國同慶的時候唱著它。它是一首南韓人和北韓人都會唱的歌。某種程度上，它是一首將南北韓團結起來的一首歌曲。是一首國民民謠，地位好比國歌。他們都在國家重要慶典如奧林匹克的開幕典禮上唱這首歌。萬一你看不到上面的紀錄片，鏈接在此：m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/eanboXmbnLN_n80

We learned this in band as “Variations on a Korean Folk Song”, and the melody stuck with me, and I learned to play it on guitar. 20 years later as a medical student I worked as a research assistant for the director of Pediatric Endocrinology (Dr. Songya Pang). She hosted a Christmas party one year and I brought my guitar. At one point she brought out a harmonica and played Arirang. I immediately recognized it and played it with her. The smile it brought to her face was amazing! 20+ years later after studying cello for 5 years I recorded it and sent it to her, and she remembered when I played it with her decades earlier. Every time I hear or play this song I think fondly of my former mentor in Pediatric Endocrinology.

There may have been many drop-outs in the long march here and there.

[@emliaithnin9685]

It's kinda weird when they turned the song into a really modern song, catchy song

[@CryptP]

It's kind of just a testament to how endlessly transformable arirang is, it adapts along with the korean culture and it is beautiful in any form

[@naveennani1414]

This song is totally similar to my TAMIL. My mother also sing this song for my sleeping in my childhood.

So much bla bla and you don't even give us the lyrics. Here is what I found online: Korean - 아리랑 아리랑, 아리랑, 아라리요 아리랑 고개로 넘어간다 나를 버리고 가시는 님은 십리도 못가서 발병난다 Revised Romanization Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo Arirang gogaero neomeoganda (bis) Nareul beorigo gashineun nimeun Shimrido motgaseo balbyeongnanda Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo Arirang gogaero neomeoganda (bis) Cheongcheonghaneuren chanbyeoldo manko Urine gaseumen huimangdo manta English Translation - My beloved one Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo Crossing over Arirang Pass Dear who abandoned me Shall not walk even ten miles before the feet hurt

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGqcpY2Hbb2nfa8 "ஆரிராரோ ஆராரிரோ" Very similar to very popular age old Tamil 'aariraarO aaraarirO' lullaby songs: * kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXXVgnqhlNebqK8 * kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnfUkp2Ld7xmsNE * kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZyUhnukZdeLZrc * kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoDIfWunqrerjrM * kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5Ldm6uHgZqarq8 (malayalam) * kzbin.info/www/bejne/noG5m2tpprmmbq8 (malayalam) Most probably spread to Korea thru the South Indian Tamil princes from Ay[uta] kingdom, who married Korean King Suro of Geumgwan Gaya and she later known as "Queen Heo Hwang-ok", whose history is mentioned in the 13th century Korean Chronicle Samguk Yusa. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heo_Hwang-ok ) சூரோ எனும் கொரிய மன்னரை ஒரு ஆய் நாட்டு இளவரசி மணந்து பட்டத்து அரசியானார் என்பது அவர்களது நம்பிக்கை. Mostly because of this historical link there are many common words in Tamil and Korean languages: * kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ2zhqyvh5efhMk * kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWOvoqaFfNNpf7M * kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5S0ZqaVaM-Bjrs * kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3OQZGuJiZmHnJI

Deadass- American slang (popular amongst black youth) meaning for reals or certainly. It can also mean to be “dead serious” example: I’m deadass right now.

Korean national anthem Prior to 1910 was "Auld Lang Syne" and Koreans have the same mythologies as Europeans such as a winged horse Cholima and a rainbow as a "stairway to heaven".

[@thomasciarlariello3228]

Koreans called a hat a "Kat". Koreans called trousers "paja". Koreans called hoopskirted farthingales "hanbok" with crinoline pannier bustles called "daeshin chima" and chemise petticoats called "chima". Architecture of Korea was identical to Queen Anne or Tudor dynasty and last dynasty of Korea had spiked helmets to remember how Indiana Jones was based on Roy Chapman Andrews who described Korean rickshaw operators reminiscent of an Asimov story where robots had to be protected from Asian rickshaw operators. If one listens closely to YTN and MBC news videos from South Korea one can notice how technical terms are English with suffixes while an editorial cartoon from North Korea to portray United States soldiers as insects inside a test tube translates to either "bugs" or "pucks" while an animated film from North Korea about a pencil on of protractor sounds like they are singing "My little pencil saves the world". South Korea has K Pop Gyrations while North Korea Goosesteps.
