    Gangnam Style: Its Meaning and Romanized Lyrics

    Posted on: October 6th, 2012 by Smriti Rai
    Tweet


    So you’ve probably heard the infectious song “Gangnam Style” by South Korean sensation Psy, and may have even tried the “cheesy” dance steps, but you probably have no idea what the song is about. Well, to clear things up a little bit, the song is about living life “Gangnam style”. Gangnam is one of the most affluent and posh areas in South Korea that can be equated to Beverly Hills in California, USA. In his song, the singer talks about women who are very prim and proper during the day but let their hair down when night comes. He says he likes girls who are classy but who can also be sultry at the right time. He further goes on to say that he likes women who dress up by covering themselves appropriately but can be more sensual than women who wear revealing clothes.

    Those who watch Korean movies and dramas are probably very familiar with the word “Oppa”. This is an affectionate word used by females to refer to their elder brothers or males who are older than them; often even boyfriends. The singer is referring to himself as “Oppa” saying “Oppa is living life Gangnam Style.”

    Since my knowledge of the Korean language is very limited, I cannot translate the whole song word for word, but since I know how to read and write Hangul (Korean script) I have tried my best to write the lyrics in romanized form for those who want to learn the lyrics or sing along.

      thankyou! i have an 11yr old girl who is completely into this song and naturally i wanted to know what exactly was “brainwashing” my kids these days. encouraging her to google it, the 1st hit landed as “condom-style”, leaving her completely embarrassed. after regrouping her we next found this translation. im thrilled to know that a song this popular has such a positive message. i give you all the prop for not butchering translations.
