Girls’ Generation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mary take me to the
Merry go round
With this beautiful sound
Sing my song for you
어느 날 문득 바쁜 너를 졸라
저녁이 되어서야 갔던 공원
하얀색 목마를 타고 돌아보면
고집 센 날 보며 넌 웃었지
이런 마음이 사랑이라면
못된 내 모습도 아껴주기
너무 욕심내진 않길 약속 할게
너와 갔던 곳 나의
Merry go round
기억 그대로 반짝이고 있어
이 모습처럼 언제나 나의 곁에
He′s like merry go round
어디쯤이니 많이 기다렸어
노을이 예뻤던 그 골목길
멀리서 보이던
너의 두 어깨에 비친 햇살
너무 따뜻했어
이런 마음이 사랑이라면
미안하단 말은 하지 않기
그저 나를 말없이 안아주면 돼
너와 갔던 곳 나의
Merry go round
기억 그대로 반짝이고 있어
이 모습처럼 언제나 나의 곁에
He′s like merry go round
얼마나 가야만 잡을 수 있을까
어릴 적 꿈을 따라 가고 싶어
이젠 너를 안고
너와 갔던 곳
나의 merry go round
기억 그대로 반짝이고 있어
이 모습처럼 언제나 나의 곁에
He′s like merry go round
너와 갔던 곳 나의
Merry go round
기억 그대로 반짝이고 있어




이 모습처럼 언제나 나의 곁에
He′s like merry go round

Overall Meaning

The beginning of the song "Merry-Go-Round" by Girls' Generation starts with mentioning how Mary must take the singer to the merry-go-round, where beautiful sounds fill the air, and then she sings her song to the listener. The song continues with a memory of a day in the park with someone, who made the singer laugh, as they watched white horses on the merry-go-round go round and round. The lyrics describe the feeling that if this is what love is, then she promises to cherish even her worst qualities, and together they went to the singer's "Merry-Go-Round." The song later delves into the warmth of the sun and feelings of nostalgia associated with childhood dreams.


In essence, this song celebrates those beautiful and sweet moments in life like going to the park and riding a merry-go-round, but most importantly, experiencing it with someone special. The lyrics evoke a sense of playful memories, and even though the song talks about those memories being in the past, it's also trying to capture the thought of those happy memories remaining forever. The lyrics urge listeners to cherish those moments in their present, create more of them, and stay connected to them forever.

Their early songs are so bouncy and happy song just like this ❤

@kimhyein1203

Nostalgia hit me hard... So hard.. I used to listen to this song all the time, today this song just crossed my mind, i've forgot how good this song was, i almost teared up

@linasilver2201

It's such a beautiful song, their voices are so harmoniously combined with each other. Listening to this in 2021 nostalgia hit me really hard, I wish they could perform live with this song more. 🥺❤️

@RielaKOKORO

Hyoyeon is not even my bias and I really like her voice! 1:00 her voice is so beautiful
And I love how all of them have long parts where we can clearly hear them (also without many effects)
All snsd members deserve to shine
