You mean the meaning of the song? Arirang is our song it gives us pride and helps us move on in life. "아리랑 고개로 넘어간다" means I am crossing the Arirang pass which is a expression used in Korea meaning that you passed an obstacle in life. When Korea was industrializing Arirang was sang a lot to lift the spirits of my people. The industrialization period was a hard time in Korea but we renovated and made Korea to what it is today. Arirang is the song of our spirit and ambitions. It makes Koreans proud and stand tall.

Crossing over Arirang Pass
Dear who abandoned me (here)
Will not even walk even ten Li (about 4 km) before his/her feet hurt
I guess you liked this answer because you deleted the one I answered. I lived in Korea years ago, and took conversational Korean from a Korean professor. She explained that Arirang was the name of a river, and the versionof the song she translated had to do with a girl telling her boyfriend that she wants to meet him by the river. She says that she will tell a lie to her mother and father about where she is.
