Celly
Vibe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

말이 안 돼도 맘을 알아 줘
핸드폰 위의
Touch 마저 난 부러워
내가 네 손 안의 조그만 핸드폰이길
바라고 있는 나 조금 웃겨도 난 좋아
네 손이 닿는 화면 그게 다 나였다면
날 놓지 않는다면 난 그저 좋아
May I hold you may I touch you
손 안에 꼭 쥔 게 평생 나이길
May I kiss you
내가 네 손의 핸드폰이길
May I marry you
네 손에 닿는 화면 그게 나이길
손 안에 꼭 쥔 게 평생 나이길
Hear me now hear me
Now hear me now
Hold me now hold me
Now hold me now
Call me now call me
Now call me now
Say I love you
새로 산 옷 입고 혼자서 셀카 찍을 때
그 예쁜 모습도 내가 먼저 보기를
네 손이 닿는 화면 그게 다 나였다면
날 놓지 않는다면 난 그저 좋아
May I hold you may I touch you
손 안에 꼭 쥔 게 평생 나이길
May I kiss you
내가 네 손의 핸드폰이길
May I marry you
네 손에 닿는 화면 그게 나이길
손 안에 꼭 쥔 게 평생 나이길
변하지마 미워 너 바꾸지마 미워 너
날 꺼두지마 미워
너 날 놓지 말아 미워
May I hold you
내가 네 손의 핸드폰이길
May I touch you
네 손에 닿는 화면 그게 나이길
손 안에 꼭 쥔 게 평생 나이길
May I kiss you
내가 네 손의 핸드폰이길
May I marry you
네 손에 닿는 화면 그게 나이길
손 안에 꼭 쥔 게 평생 나이길
Hear me now hear me
Now hear me now
Hold me now hold me
Now hold me now
Call me now call me
Now call me now
Say I love you
Hear me now hear me
Now hear me now
Hold me now hold me
Now hold me now
Call me now call me




Now call me now
Say I love you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vibe's song "Celly" are a declaration of devotion towards someone's love interest's cellphone. Despite the absurdity of such a declaration, the song conveys the importance of the object in the relationship. The lyrics ask for permission to hold, touch, kiss, and even marry the cellphone. The repetition of "May I" in the chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to have this object be a part of their life forever. The lyrics also mention how the singer feels jealous of the cellphone, as it is constantly in contact with their love interest, and they wish to be as close to her as the phone is. The lyrics express how the cellphone connects the singer to their love interest and represents the relationship, conveying that they would be happy as long as they hold the cellphone in their hand, and the relationship continues.



Interestingly, the term "Celly" is a contraction of "cellphone" and is commonly used in the US and Canada as slang. The term was popularized in the early 2000s and is most commonly used in sports, referring to celebrating with teammates by using their cellphones. Vibe's song was released in 2017, and it is unclear if the term's popularity in North America influenced the song's title.
