Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The twinkle, twinkle
숨겨도 twinkle 어쩌나
눈에 확 띄잖아
베일에 싸여 있어도
나는 twinkle 티가 나
딴 사람들도 다
빛나는 나를 좋아해
보석을 훔친 너잖아
늘 나의 곁을 지켜줘
내 주위만 맴돌아
눈을 떼지 말아줘
내 매력에 빠져
숨겨도 twinkle 어쩌나 (twinkle, twinkle 어쩌나)
눈에 확 띄잖아 (띄잖아, 띄잖아)
베일에 싸여 있어도
나는 twinkle 티가 나
난 미지의 세계
시간을 잊어버릴걸
아침에 눈을 떠봐도
꿈은 계속될 거야
난 너를 위해 꾸미고
더 예쁘게 날 반짝일래
왜 너만 혼자 몰라
나의 진가를
숨겨도 twinkle 어쩌나 (숨겨도 twinkle 됐잖아)
눈에 확 띄잖아 (눈에 확 띄잖아)
베일에 싸여 있어도 (아이)
나는 twinkle 티가 나 oh, oh, yeah
너무 태연해 너무 뻔뻔해
밖에는 날 소원하는 줄이 끝이 안 보여
말도 안되게 넌 너무 담담해
난 하늘 아래 떨어진 별
숨겨도 twinkle 어쩌나 (ha, ha, ha, yeah)
눈에 확 띄잖아 (난 눈에 확 띄잖아)
베일에 싸여 있어도 (베일에 싸여 있어도)
나는 twinkle 티가 나 (hey, yeah)
그대의 twinkle 나를 봐 (hey)
어딜 봐 나를 봐 (oh, oh, 나를 봐)
칙칙한 옷 속에서도 (oh, 칙칙한 옷 속에서도)
나는 twinkle 태가 나 (나는 twinkle 태가 나)
숨겨도 twinkle 어쩌나 (맨 twinkle 어쩌나)
눈에 확 띄잖아 (눈에 확 띄잖아)
베일에 싸여 있어도 (hey)
나는 twinkle 티가 나
T-twinkle 알잖아
The lyrics to 소녀시대-태티서's song Twinkle revolve around the idea of being a sparkling gem even when hidden or disguised in ordinary clothing. The song begins with the repetition of "Twinkle, twinkle," signifying the idea of shining brightly like a star. The lyrics urge the listener to keep their eyes fixed on the singer and their charm, even if they are hidden or veiled. The song goes on to mention that despite being in mundane clothing or situations, the singer still shines as a "twinkle" that catches everyone's attention. The lyrics also speak of the singer's desire to be adorned and prettier so that they can shine even more brightly for the listener.
The second verse talks about how the singer wishes to forget time and exist in a world of mystery that seems everlasting. They express their desire to beautify and sparkle even brighter for the listener, and they wonder why the listener is the only one who can't see the singer's true value. The bridge of the song highlights the stark contrast between the singer's sparkling and iridescent personality and the listener's dull and monotonous mindset. The song ends with the singer stating that even when they're hidden or veiled, they shine like a twinkle and can't be hidden forever.
