Chairman
"Our Party greatly treasure our excellent women trained by President
The Korean women, once subjected to all sorts of maltreatment and contempt in the past exploitative society, think now they have become the most blessed women in the world under the care of the great sun.
In the current era of the Workers' Party they are boasting that they feel no envy in the world and live worthwhile lives as they were led by the great leaders, especially the respected Comrade
These songs show the true image of Juche Korea where priority is given to women in society under the care of the great leaders.
Woman Is Flower, Love Her and My Wife are typical songs that inspire the love and respect for women. The lyric heroes of the songs are men. They emotionally presents how the society should treat, love and respect women from the male point of view.
Love Her composed in 1995 embodies the Party's idea of ensuring the women are respected in public.
Lover Her is the phrase which is actually on everyone's lips. The melody and lyric reminds us of women and our wives, warm-hearted, soft-voiced, with noble mind and always with smile on their faces. The song praises the wives for taking good care of their families by always wearing smile on their faces and devoting themselves unassumingly while serving the socialist country wholeheartedly.
Taciturn, yet smiling softly
Your wife fills the home with vernal fragrance.
Love her, the woman of beautiful mind,
Love her, the woman of great devotion,
As you did in those days of whispering marriage.
Accepting complaints readily
Your wife devotes herself unassumingly.
Love her, the woman of beautiful mind,
Love her, the woman of great devotion,
As you did in those days of whispering marriage.
Marching along the road of revolution together
Your wife serves the socialist country faithfully.
Love her, the woman of beautiful mind,
Love her, the woman of great devotion,
As you did in those days of whispering marriage.
As they follow the words of the song praising a wife's warm heart and devotion, women feel grateful to the great leaders and respected comrade
On March 8, 1995, Chairman
Love Her makes the women feel a greater pride as the most blessed women in the world who enjoy their meaningful life under the warm care of the peerlessly great persons.
The words highlight the indescribable wives' devotion and sacrifice and call for loving them so much.
"Love her, the woman of beautiful mind" and "Love her, the woman of great devotion" are emotionally touching the women. "As you did in those days of whispering marriage." indicates that you should keep your love unabated throughout your marriage.
"The hostess fills home with spring fragrance", "The hostess devotes herself unassumingly" and "The hostess serves the socialist country faithfully" are poetic expressions that appreciate the wives' mind and devotion in a living sense. "Your wife" from a third's point of view puts weight to the objective call for loving her. "As you did in those days of whispering marriage." is also the demand of the socialist society that gives high value to the women.
In our country women are regarded as the flower of family, life and country.
As flowers of the country women owe much to the great leaders and respected Comrade
Women Are Flowers composed in 1991 gives a vivid description of the women's role in family and society.
Flower is symbolic of beauty. There is no one who does not love a flower. Women are likened to a flower since they bears beauty like the flower.
Comparison of women to flowers differed in each period in the light of the form and nature.
In the exploiter society women expressed their fragility and sorrow through flowers.
But our women in the era of the Workers' Party are basking in the affection of all as beautiful flowers that are blooming under the rays of the great benevolent sun, bringing happy smiles and fragrance to families and society and performing feats for the country.
The expression "Women are flowers" is suitable only to them. It is high praise for the position and role they have and play in building harmonious families in our society and contributing to achieving single-hearted unity of the whole society.
Woman are flowers of life
That sincerely take care of families.
Dear wife and sister, but for you,
Life would be void,
Women are flowers of life.
Woman are flowers of life
That brings up sons and daughters into heroes.
Dear wife and sister, but for you,
Happiness would be vacant.
Woman are flowers of life
Woman are flowers of life
That is admirable on the way of exploits.
Dear wife and sister, but for you,
There would be a blank in the country.
Woman are flowers of the country.
"Dear wife and sister"—men, nay, the whole society address women this way affectionately. And "but for you" makes us drawn into deep thought. Life, happiness and country are inconceivable but for women. This means women have their own irreplaceable position. Specifically, they turn one of the wheels of the revolution and bring fragrance and harmony to families and society.
They have had their exclusive position since the beginning of human civilization, but it is a tragedy of old society that no one tried to or could see it. Today, the position is securely occupied by women in the era of the Workers' Party, who are blooming like beautiful flowers.
And what about the song "My Darling"? Everybody is filled with joy and happiness as they sing and hear it.
The words of this stylish song are short, yet they have great educational value.
She came into my mind like a warm vernal breeze
She nestled against me like affectionate song
We wed with the bouquet as a bond,
The flowers she gave me that unforgettable spring when I returned home after military service
O, my love, my affectionate darling.
She sets fire to my heart lest my passion cools
She gives me a push lest I fall behind
She helps me advance when I get exhausted on a rugged path
She sits up beside me when I work all night through
O, my love, my obliging darling.
She should be there as my life companion
She is indispensable as my lifetime helper
Pulling the oar of life on board the boat of happiness,
We will go together forever following the bright beacon
O, my love, my dear darling.
While "Love Your Wives" is suggestive, "My Darling" sings of love for the wife who is the closest revolutionary comrade truthfully with passion and ingenuous emotion.
The first stanza lays stress on "my affectionate darling", the second one on "my obliging darling" and the third on "my dear darling". The song sings of the greatness of love of our women, especially wives, with tender sentiment.
Family concord can be achieved when husband and wife and other members of their family unite in ideology and purpose and with affection and intimacy, and the whole society can become a large harmonious family, the family of Chairman
The man and wife in the song first met each other when the woman presented a bouquet to the discharged soldier who returned home. Every maiden in the Juche era who loves arms is fond of young man who served the army. As if he read the beauty and earnest request of the woman in his native village from the flowers, he felt the vernal warmth and affection from her. He calls this woman, his wife, "my love, my affectionate darling".
"My darling" is heard in everyday life, but this expression in the song is moving and stirring and looks refined. This may be so because it reminds the audience of the true heart of the husband who regards his wife as the closest revolutionary comrade.
As there is such a wife who fires his heart lest his passion cools and who gives a push lest he falls behind the pace of the times, the husband can live as the creator and pacesetter of the times with unflagging passion.
It is the dear wife that supports him in front when he is exhausted on a rugged path filled with difficulties and that sits up beside him when he works all night through.
There is no better appellation than "my love, my obliging darling" to refer to such a wife.
Our women, wives, are immensely happy when they are affectionately called by their husbands as "indispensably dear persons in their lives", "my love" and "my darling". Filled with the feelings of happiness and joy, the women perform shining feats in the course of supporting the Party and Chairman
When their husbands lovingly call them "my affectionate, obliging and dear darling", women feel like boasting of their precious husbands out of gratitude.
In this sense, the song is a paean to wives as well as a song that fires their hearts so that they regard their husbands more dearly.
Like this, the power of love is infinitely great. No doubt such a couple, family, is harmonious and every affair goes well.
It is the wife that fires the heart of her husband lest his passion cools and it is also the wife that gives a push lest he falls behind. And who supports him in front when he is exhausted on a rugged path? It is also the wife. Thanks to such a wife the family is always harmonious and the husband can admirably discharge his assignments given by the Party.
Everything will be all right only when one's family is harmonious.
The affection of such a wife makes a husband happy and the whole family harmonious and prosperous.
Our blessed women in the era of the Workers' Party will only follow and support the leadership of the respected Comrade
