Whoo, hahaha
Are you ready for this?
Zimzalabim!
암거나-거나-거나 쫓다 지치지 마 (yeah)
Chasing anything, don't get tired (yeah)
늘 바라-바라-바라봤자 꿈이 아냐 (haha)
Always looking, looking, looking, it's not a dream (haha)
널 꺼내-꺼내-꺼내 진짜 네 맘을 봐 (uh-huh)
Take your heart out, out, out, let me see the real you (uh-huh)
뭘 원해-원해-원해 tell me
What do you want, want, want? Tell me
신나는 하룰 만들어 볼까?
Shall we make an exciting day?
네모난 지구 위로 걱정은 모두 던져
On this square Earth, throw all your worries away
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, higher
입술에 피어나는 주문에 너를 맡겨
I entrust you to the spell blooming on my lips
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na (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
Oh my-oh my-oh my, look at you smiling bright
너무-너무-너무 깜짝 놀라진 마 그게 바로 너야
Don't be too-too-too surprised, that's just who you are
주문을 외는 순간 누구든 행복해져
The moment we chant the spell, anyone becomes happy
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, higher
틀에 박힌 세상 속에서
In this boxed-in world,
길들여진 넌 매일 마냥 덤덤
You seem so indifferent every day,
날 따라 해봐
Try to follow me,
뭐 더 필요해?
What more do you need?
Hey, girls! (uh-huh)
You ready? (Oh, yeah)
너 몰래 자취를 감춘 꿈을 찾아서
Searching for the dream you hid from me,
달려볼까 함께해줘, boys
Shall we run together, boys?
장난스러운 목소리로
In a playful voice,
마음껏 외쳐 모두 잊고 (yo)
Shout out loud and forget everything (yo)
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
Look into the starry eyes full of light
(누구보다 빛나 보석처럼 반짝)
(Shining brighter than anyone, like a jewel you gleam)
Oh, 멀리서 헤매진 마
Oh, don’t wander too far away
(눈부시게 빛나 웃어봐 더 활짝)
(Shine dazzlingly, smile wider, let it bloom)
꿈은 네 안에 있는 걸
The dream is within you, so hold on tight
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
Na-na-na-na-na (hey), na-na-na-na (yeah)
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na (yo)
Na-na-na-na-na (hey), na-na-na-na (haha)
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na (yo)
