World is beautiful as flowers with different colors and scents, World is new everyday as men look different and world is different; World is flourishing as villages live different, cultures enjoy diversity; Sumerian writing, Oracle bone script, and Egyptian script were born five thousand years ago,
Script written on clay tablets, letters written stone pillar and bones.
Civilization! Culture! Where do you come from? Gilgamesh, Hammurabi, Shijing, Shangshu, I Ching! How could you survive till today? Literature, science, art, technology, where is your beginning and end? Time, space, man, where do you reveal? Without script, how could you exist?
Script is tree, script is flower, script is seed. Script is lion, script is dragon, script is man. Script is right, script is freedom, script is equality. Script is welfare, script is happiness, script is value. Script is dignity, script is creation, script is history.

All men are equal under the sky and on the ground; In five oceans and six continents, all scripts are equal; All ways, all languages are equal, All sides, all world, all cultures are equal; Keep, achieve, sing: equal script and equal world!
Mourn the dying, ignored, despised script! Gather, run, call: long live the script equality! Erase and remove! Script repression, script compulsion, script discrimination! Every soul script emancipation, every state free script, everywhere script flower garden! Jointly sharing, harmonizing, together written alongside, all are script neighbors!
Seoul, Seoul, Seoul! Mother of Hangul, festival of script! Remember world script, every year, every day.
Dance, sound, talk, inscribe script thankfully; Sway, sway feistily sway, Script wave in all alleys, all haenangs, all houses, and in all minds!
