PAPARAZZI
Girls' Generation / 少女時代 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh-la la la la, la la la la
Ooh-la la la la (oh, oh)
Ooh-la la la la, la la la la
Ooh-la la la la (with the Girls')
With the Girls' Generation
Cha cha cha cha

こっち見て baby 電話したり ring, ring
不自然なほど自然なフリフリ
気付いてるのよ paparazzi あなたが
望む通りの笑顔で a-hahaha

Hide and seek の every night
瞬くスターの satellite
もっと イイ記事 欲しくない?
仲良くやりましょ 仲間じゃない?

Life is a party ガレージから suite room
いつだってあなたが boom boom boom!
派手に car chase 花の around
惹きつけられて boom boom boom!
値段もつけられやしない愛を
闇を裂いた flash が裂いて money!
Life is a party ガレージから suite room
寝ても覚めても boom boom boom!

Ooh-la la la la, la la la la
Ooh-la la la la

隠すと見たい画面の ooh-la la la la
真面目ぶってるあの娘もラチャチャラ
ダンディな彼だって家では mama! Mama!
秘密の kiss のスリルでハラハラ

Punkadelic crazy night
ときめくスターの searching light
Bad boy, bad girl 気にしない
"踊らされるより踊る"が style

Life is a party ダメージほど売れる
見つかったら最後 boom boom boom!
夜の果て 潜む影
先回りして boom boom boom!
噂が噂に飛び火して以来
燃え上がって burning していく my name!

With the Girls', with the Girls' Generation
愛して愛されただけなのに
どの恋も汚れた恋なんて
我慢出来ない 我慢出来ない (ah)
なんて騒いでる暇もないの
あっちでも こっちでも boom boom boom!

(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
見られてるほど輝くわ だから
Come on, friends ほらおいでよ rat tat ta

Life is a party ガレージから suite room
いつだってあなたが boom boom boom!
派手に car chase 花の around
惹きつけられて boom boom boom!
こぼれた涙の一粒がいま
光るダイヤモンドに変わるまで




Life is a party ガレージから suite room
寝ても覚めても boom boom boom!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Girls' Generation / 少女時代's song PAPARAZZI talk about the life of a celebrity or someone constantly in the public eye. The paparazzi are watching the subject's every move, from phone calls to every fake smile. The constant need for good PR leads to a life of parties and expensive suites, but it's all for the love of fame. The lyrics also mention the sacrifice of privacy for that fame, as the subject is always visible and must be careful of their actions. The chorus repeats the phrase "boom boom boom," reflecting the non-stop pace of this life.


The song portrays a bit of a conflicted relationship with fame: there's the desire for it, but also the understanding that it comes with its own challenges. The lyrics suggest that the subject is willing to put up with all of it, however, and that they're willing to let the paparazzi capture every moment of their lives.
