Girls' Generation
Let's dance
Hit the beat and take it to the fast line
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

무대 위 너를 처음 봤을 때
내 주위에 시간들은 모두 멈추고
가슴만 뛰어

평범한 나의 인생을 바꿔 준
넌 나의 dancing queen
지루한 나의 일상을 깨워 준
하룻밤의 파티

내 맘을 사로잡는 dancing (yeah yeah yeah)
그 화려한 솜씨 (yeah yeah yeah)
너의 그 이기적인 맵시 (yeah yeah yeah)
그 아찔한 sexy (yeah yeah yeah)
숨 막힐 듯해 yeah yeah

한참을 지나 내가 무대 위에서
그때 그대처럼 춤추고 노래해
마치 꿈같아 정말로

평범한 나의 인생을 바꿔 준
넌 나의 dancing queen
지루한 나의 일상을 깨워 준
하룻밤의 꿈

내 맘을 사로잡는 dancing (yeah yeah yeah)
그 화려한 솜씨 (yeah yeah yeah)
너의 그 이기적인 맵시 (yeah yeah yeah)
그 아찔한 sexy (yeah yeah yeah)
리듬에 몸을 맡겨 나 yeah yes

넌 나의 dancing queen (I don't care what anyone thinks)
('Cause you're the one who makes me dance)
누가 뭐래도 영원히 (you're the one who makes me sing)
(Can't nobody be my dancing queen but you)
내 마음속의 스타 (I get the chills when I see you move, see you groove)
넌 나의 hero (the way you shake your body is "look at me everybody")
넌 나의 hero
넌 나의 hero (your dancing makes me hot)

Dancing (dancing)
그 화려한 dancing (너의 화려한 dancing)
니 이기적인 맵시 (oh 너의 이기적인 맵시)
(Ooh yeah) 그 아찔한 sexy
(Show me your dance) 리듬에 몸을 맡겨 나 yeah yeah

날 사로잡은 dancing (dancing)
니 그 화려한 솜씨 (솜씨)
그 이기적인 맵시 (whoo whoo)
니 그 아찔한 sexy (sexy)
숨 막힐 뜻한 너
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (dancing, dancing, show me now, show me now)

젊음을 불태울 dancing 파티 (eeh, eeh, eeh, eeh)

guys I just found out about the adlibs on the last chorus, almost 10 years after I first heard this song. i never saw it in the lyrics videos, but i always heard them and thought it was just an echo of the main lyrics. it's so cool there are so much to discover in snsd tracks because they put a lot of work into doing their own adlibs and vocal layering and everything :)

for those who maybe never caught it:

from 2:53 (adlibs are in brackets)

nal sarojabeun Dancing (Dancing sarojabeun)

I know exactly zero Korean but Girls Generation is the only group that I can follow along on the Korean line because their articulation is so clear and precise. Every song of theirs that I hear is a wonder. Just marvelous.
