I want to create an arrangement of the Gyeong-gi version of Arirang for English speaking elementary students and looking for a simplified phonetic spelling. I know it's impossible to get the exact sounds that I need but wanted to get as close to authentic as possible. I've studied many versions, written and aural, and here's my best guess at this point. The 4th line uses "seo" which I've written as "suh" but I'm really not satisfied with that. Also, I know the "r" sound is not a rolled or flipped "r." Thank you for your help.

A-ri-rang, A-ri-rang, a-ra-ri-yo

A-ri-rang ko-gae ro no mo kan da

Na ruh po ri go ka shi-nun-ni mun

shim-ni do mot ka suh pal byong nan da.
