Etude
Girl's Generation(SNSD) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl 잘 들어봐 내가 하는 말
넘 기다려왔던 이 순간을 위해
I know why 너의 sexy한 모습
아이 같은 순수함 모두 보여 줄래
oh No 말할 땐 좀 더 크게
Yes Right 때로는 소녀 같게
하나하나 조심스럽게 행동하기
왜 그러니 너 실수 투성이
넘 어색한 행동과 말들
매력이라곤 뭐
전혀 보이질 않잖아 들어봐
너를 보여줘 사랑스러운
너의 애교와 눈웃음 가득
우리 연습한 그대로
푹 빠져들어 가게 by your side
Girl 잘 보여봐 패션 하나도
좀 사랑스럽게 좀 어색하지 않게
make up 하얀 너의 피부에 맞게
넘 진해도 안돼 살짝 은은하게
oh No 지나친 향수 금물
Yes Right 때로는 숙녀 같게
바라보는 시선 모두 다 훔쳐가게
왜 그러니 너 실수 투성이
넘 어색한 행동과 말들
매력이라곤 뭐
전혀 보이질 않잖아 들어봐
너를 보여줘 사랑스러운
너의 애교와 눈웃음 가득
우리 연습한 그대로
푹 빠져들어 가게 by your side
그가 젖어들면
촉촉한 눈빛을 보내고
너의 부드런 손끝을
그에게 살짝 닿게 해
바로 그거야 녹일 수 있는
넘 완벽한 행동과 말들
사랑스런 너의 매력
빠져 버릴 거야 느껴봐
Girl please let him know
너의 모든 걸
조금씩 천천히 보여줘




우리 연습한 그대로
푹 빠져들어 가게 by your side

Do you want to know how obsessed i was with snsd? After i watched this performance i bought pastel with white polkadot fabric and after i saved some money i went to a tailor, ordered a custom dress similar to their pink dresses in this vid. Of course i looked nothing like them in the dress but i loved and wore it a lot. That was 11 years ago tho
