Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
화장실 갈꺼면 cellphone 두고가
도망가려 그래 봤자 뻔한 수법의 초짜
놀아도 알고 좀 놀아
Look around VIP존이 이래
Look down 내가 올려줬잖아
(Are u ready? Let's go! 3,2,1)
* Wingar dium dium dium dium dium Leviosa
너를 띠움 띠움 띄워줄께 반했어
분위기 윙가르 그녀는 윙크를
Yeh Wingar wingar dium Leviosa
Wingar wingar wing wing wing
권이가 뜨면 걱정마
내 신조는 이 밤 낭비 말자 play the night
난 왜 이리도 잘났지 이런 내가 부럽지
이 공간을 날려줄께
Let's fly 저기 다 따라해봐
Let's try 이 주문을 외워봐
화장 고치지마 날 따라 즐기자
* 반복 x 2
걱정마 너의 hand phone 맘껏 즐겨 party's on
집에 가기 전에만 들려 내가 데려다줄게
* 반복 x 2
The lyrics of 조권 (Jo Kwon)'s song Wingardium Leviosa mainly talk about enjoying a night out, letting loose and having fun. The song starts with an invitation to get closer and leave the cellphone behind if one wants to go to the bathroom. The lyrics also mention looking around at the VIP section and various tables while emphasizing not to give out one's number. The chorus is a repetition of the spell "Wingardium Leviosa," a spell from the Harry Potter series that makes objects levitate. In the song, the singer promises to make the listeners fly through the night by casting the spell.
The second verse encourages the listeners not to worry and enjoy the night without any guilt or regrets, and the singer boasts about how well-nurtured they are, something that might make others envious. The lyrics continue with a promise to make the entire space fly, followed by an invitation to try and recite the spell. The chorus repeats twice towards the end, emphasizing the fun and carefree attitude of the song.
Overall, "Wingardium Leviosa" is a song that encourages listeners to let loose and have fun, with a quirky twist of invoking spells from the Harry Potter universe.
