Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you ready for this?
Zimzalabim!
암거나 거나 거나 쫓다 지치지 마
늘 바라 바라 바라봤자 꿈이 아냐
널 꺼내 꺼내 꺼내 진짜 네 맘을 봐
뭘 원해 원해 원해 tell me
네모난 지구 위로
걱정은 모두 던져
Nananana nanananana higher
입술에 피어나는
주문에 너를 맡겨
Nananana nanananana ha!
Zimzalabim zim-zimzalabim
Zim-zimzalabim zim-zim
Zimzalabim zim-zimzalabim
Zim-zimzalabim zim-zim
Zimzalabim zim-zimzalabim
Zim-zimzalabim zim-zim
Zimzalabim zim-zimzalabim
Zim-zimzalabim zim-zim
어머 어머 어머 활짝 웃는 널 봐
너무 너무 너무 깜짝 놀라진 마
그게 바로 너야
주문을 외는 순간 누구든 행복해져
Nananana nanananana higher
틀에 박힌 세상 속에서
길들여진 넌 매일 마냥 덤덤
날 따라 해봐 뭐 더 필요해?
Hey girls! (a-ha!)
You ready? (oh yeah!)
너 몰래 자취를 감춘 꿈을 찾아서
달려볼까 함께해줘 boys
장난스러운 목소리로
마음껏 외쳐 모두 잊고
Zimzalabim zim-zimzalabim
Zim-zimzalabim zim-zim
Zimzalabim zim-zimzalabim
Zim-zimzalabim zim-zim
Zimzalabim zim-zimzalabim
Zim-zimzalabim zim-zim
Zimzalabim zim-zimzalabim
Zim-zimzalabim zim-zim
별빛 가득한 눈을 봐 (누구보다 빛나 보석처럼 반짝)
Oh 멀리서 헤매진 마 (눈부시게 빛나 웃어봐 더 활짝)
꿈은 네 안에 있는 걸
Zimzalabim zim-zimzalabim
Zim-zimzalabim zim-zim
Zimzalabim zim-zimzalabim
Zim-zimzalabim zim-zim
Zimzalabim zim-zimzalabim
Zim-zimzalabim zim-zim
Zimzalabim zim-zimzalabim
Zim-zimzalabim zim-zim
Nanananana (hey) nananana
Nanananana nananana
Nanananana (hey) nananana
Nanananana nananana (yo)

@saphreine
but then there's my theory..
i was watching some wizard of oz thing with my siblings and the way the wizard greeted dorothy was by saying "sim sim sala bim" (he was either greeting dororthy or casting a spell, i don't remember) so i assumed it was something related to where the term zimzalabim came from. like they were greeting us/each other/whoever the song is being sung to somewhere, but to where?
after that the wizard went to oz so i thought that they were implying that they're welcoming us to some other world/perspective or something
i googled what zimzalabim was and i found the result that it could be a reference to 3 demons: zim, zala and bim who are supposedly trickster demons
could red velvet be putting us into a trance or a fake world that is meant to make us follow them or believe in them? check the lyrics for irene's rap..that gave me so many questions and thoughts and theories
if i'm gonna say something related to what you were implying zimzalabim meant though..maybe what they meant by it was that in order to reach your dreams and fulfill your goals, you need to break free of the trance you're living in and face reality, you need to stop imagine and assuming things will go your way and actually work hard for it the way you're supposed to, not the lazy way or the way you picture it in your imagination..not the way you want it to be but the way it has to be
gotta love red velvet <3
