강남스타일
Psy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

오빤 강남스타일
강남스타일

낮에는 따사로운 인간적인 여자
커피 한잔의 여유를 아는 품격 있는 여자
밤이 오면 심장이 뜨거워지는 여자
그런 반전 있는 여자

나는 사나이
낮에는 너만큼 따사로운 그런 사나이
커피 식기도 전에 원샷 때리는 사나이
밤이 오면 심장이 터져버리는 사나이
그런 사나이

아름다워, 사랑스러워
그래, 너 (hey)
그래, 바로 너 (hey)

아름다워, 사랑스러워
그래, 너 (hey)
그래, 바로 너 (hey)
지금부터 갈 때까지 가볼까

오빤 강남스타일 (uh)
강남스타일
옵-옵-옵-옵 오빤 강남스타일 (uh)
강남스타일
옵-옵-옵-옵 오빤 강남스타일

Eh, sexy lady
옵-옵-옵-옵 오빤 강남스타일
Eh, sexy lady
옵-옵-옵-옵
Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh

정숙해 보이지만 놀 땐 노는 여자
이때다 싶으면 묶었던 머리 푸는 여자
가렸지만 웬만한 노출보다 야한 여자
그런 감각적인 여자

나는 사나이
점잖아 보이지만 놀 땐 노는 사나이
때가 되면 완전 미쳐버리는 사나이
근육보다 사상이 울퉁불퉁한 사나이
그런 사나이

아름다워, 사랑스러워
그래, 너 (hey)
그래, 바로 너 (hey)

아름다워, 사랑스러워
그래, 너 (hey)
그래, 바로 너 (hey)
지금부터 갈 때까지 가볼까

오빤 강남스타일 (uh)
강남스타일
옵-옵-옵-옵 오빤 강남스타일 (uh)

옵-옵-옵-옵 오빤 강남스타일

Eh, sexy lady
옵-옵-옵-옵 오빤 강남스타일
Eh, sexy lady
옵-옵-옵-옵
Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh

뛰는 놈, 그 위에 나는 놈
Baby, baby 나는 뭘 좀 아는 놈
뛰는 놈, 그 위에 나는 놈
Baby, baby 나는 뭘 좀 아는 놈
You know what I'm sayin'?

오빤 강남스타일
Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Psy's song 강남스타일, or "Gangnam Style" in English, confoundingly tell the story of a man claiming to be a "Gangnam Style" man - someone who exudes a cool, calm confidence but can also let loose and party when the time is right. The first verse describes two different women: a sophisticated and sensible woman during the day who enjoys sipping coffee, and a more lively and passionate woman at night. The second verse then describes a man who appears well-mannered and respectful during the day, but transforms into a wildly carefree and occasionally reckless individual when night falls. The chorus repeats the phrase "Gangnam style," which refers to a district in Seoul, South Korea that is known for its wealthy and fashionable residents.


While on the surface the lyrics may seem nonsensical and frivolous, the song and its accompanying music video became a worldwide phenomenon in 2012, propelling Psy to global fame almost overnight. The absurdity and danceability of the song made it a viral hit, and its international popularity helped to raise awareness of Korean culture and music around the world. The music video features Psy performing his iconic "horse dance," which involves mimicking the motions of riding a horse. The lyrics poke fun at the idea of excessive materialism and consumerism, which are often associated with the Gangnam district in Seoul.
