 | | Different versions of the song are usually prefixed by their place of origin, except for the canonical version, which may have a prefix, but it is unknown to the author. |
 | | Fundamentally, all versions of the song are ostensibly a story about the travails of the song's subject's crossing a mountain pass. |
 | | In the canonical and some other versions, the first line of the refrain is "Arirang, Arirang, arariyo" (아리랑, 아리랑, 아라리요...) while in both Jindo Arirang and Miryang Arirang (which are otherwise quite different from each other), the first line of the refrain begins with "Ari arirang, seuri seurirang..." (아리 아리랑, 스리 스리랑...). |
