산토끼 (San Tokki)

One of the first Korean songs I ever learned was 산토끼 (San Tokki). It is a children’s song about a mountain rabbit and it goes as follows:

산토끼 토끼야
어디를 가느냐
깡총 깡총 뛰면서
어디를 가느냐

Romanised:

San Tokki Tokkiya
Odi rul kanunya
Ganchong ganchong dwi myon so
Odi rul kanunya

English:

Mountain Bunny , Oh Bunny
Where do you go ?
Boing! Boing! While you jump
where do you go ?
