Happily Ever After
Red Velvet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Hey 옛날 옛날에 소녀가 살았죠
알려진 것과 달리
주근깨 가득 반항기 넘친 눈빛
내 친구들과 비교 말아줘

유리 구두 아니 운동화에 (ah ah ah ah)
물레 바늘 찔린 손에는 밴드 (hey hey hey)
보석 같은 건 나랑 안 어울려
Oh yeah 이런 나도 구해줄 사랑할 분 없나요

그 순간 등장한 너는
(멀리서도 확 튀는 태가 다른 존재감)
한 발짝 따라가 나는
(이름이 뭐죠 baby what what what?)
신기하지 우리 서로 계속 안 기분
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
나를 간지럽히는 예감은
La la la la la la la la (두근두근)

땡 하고 열두 시가 돼도
난 곁에 네 곁에 happily ever after
훔쳐볼게 네 입술
너보다 빠르게 또 빙그레 happily ever after
왕자가 아니라도 좋아
Just be mine (la la la la la)
내가 대신 완성해줄 거야 okay eh eh
Happily ever happily ever

(Hap hap hap hap hap hap) tell me what you're saying
(Hap hap hap hap) happily ever after

어느새 매일 내 꿈엔
하얗게 깃털 드레스
그리곤 너의 턱시도 자연스레
Dan da dan dan

그 순간 꼭 깨어나
(호시탐탐 날 노린 마녀 같은 알람이)
나 정말 어이없어
(꿈이라니요 baby what what what?)
신기하지 매일 좋아지는 이 기분
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
네가 들어온 뒤로 세상은
La la la la la la la la (두근두근)

땡 하고 열두 시가 돼도
난 곁에 네 곁에 happily ever after
훔쳐볼게 네 입술
너보다 빠르게 또 빙그레 happily ever after
왕자가 아니라도 좋아
Just be mine (la la la la la)
내가 대신 완성해줄 거야 okay eh eh
Happily ever happily ever

해피엔딩만 남긴 둘
네 품속이 나의 honeymoon
숨이 막혀 어지러워져
아주 조금 (아주 조금 조금 조금 조금)
이러다가 터지는 거 아냐?
La la la la la la la la la la (두근두근)

펑 하고 모두 사라져도
넌 곁에 내 곁에 happily ever after
내가 아는 어느 남자보다
용감해 또 발그레 happily ever after
내 맘을 너 아니면 누가 또 열까
(La la la la la)
하나뿐인 열쇠는 네 거야 okay eh eh
Happily ever happily ever

(Hap hap hap hap hap hap) tell me what you're saying
(Hap hap hap hap) happily ever after (eh eh eh eh)




옛날에 아주 옛날에 소녀가 살았는데
(Hap hap hap hap) happily ever after

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Red Velvet's song "Happily Ever After" tell the story of a girl who lived in the past, conveying a sense of nostalgia. Contrary to what is known about her, she possesses a rebellious spirit and a gaze full of determination, as seen in her freckles. She asks her friends not to compare her to others, as she is unique and does not conform to societal expectations. She expresses her desire to find someone who will love and accept her for who she is, even with all her quirks and unconventional choices.


Suddenly, a person appears who stands out even from afar, exuding a different kind of charisma. The girl is intrigued and decides to follow this person, asking for their name. The connection between them feels magical, and they continuously uplift each other's mood. There is a fluttering feeling inside the girl that tickles her senses, creating a sense of anticipation and excitement.


Even if it becomes midnight and a new day begins, the girl is confident that she will always be by the person's side, experiencing a happily ever after. She playfully steals glances at their lips, resulting in a faster and more joyful heartbeat. She expresses that she doesn't need a prince charming, as long as this person chooses to be hers. The girl assures them that she will complete them in her own way, creating a happy ending for both of them.


In the girl's dreams, she envisions herself wearing a white feather dress, symbolizing her purity and innocence. She then imagines the person in a tailored tuxedo, effortlessly complementing her dreamlike appearance. However, the girl finds it hard to believe that her dreams are coming true; it feels unreal to her. She acknowledges that this daily feeling of happiness is something extraordinary, and since the person entered her life, everything seems more magical.


Even if everything disappears with a bang and fades away, the person will still be there, providing the girl with a happily ever after. She is captivated by their courage and the way they make her heart race. She firmly believes that if it's not the person she likes, there is no one else who can open her heart. She emphasizes that the only key to her heart belongs to them, confirming her commitment to creating a happily ever after together.


In the end, the lyrics bring back the beginning of the story, mentioning that in a long-gone era, a girl lived. This repetition adds an element of timelessness and reinforces the idea of the girl's longing for a happily ever after, which is now becoming a reality. The song concludes with the hopeful desire for a happily ever after, indicating the girl's anticipation and excitement for the future.
