Our March Song :)

"I Say NO (to Naval Base)"

Lyric by Fr. St. John

Though a dolphin in the Gangjeong Sea

Doesn’t say in words~

I say no. Absolutely, no.

No, no, naval base~

A mackerel says no. An anchovy says no, too.

A sweet fish says absolutely no, too.

A dolphin says no. A crab says no, too.

No, no, naval base~

Though a dolphin in the Gangjeong Sea

Doesn’t say in words~

I say no. Absolutely, no.

No, no, naval base~

The Gureombi says no. The Halla Mountain says no, too.

The Beom (Tiger) Island says no, too

The Ilchoolbong (Sun-Rising Peak) says no, too. The Gotjawal says no, too.

No, no, naval base~

Let's learn song here :)
