 Gee

Uh-huh! Listen Boy, My First Love Story

My Angel I'm a Girl My sunshine

너무너무 멋져 
So so good-looking 
눈이눈이 부셔 
 So dazzle dazzling
숨을 못쉬겠어 
Can't breathe
떨리는 걸
 I'm shaking

Gee Gee Gee Gee Baby Baby Baby
Gee Gee Gee Gee Baby Baby Baby

Oh 너무 부끄러워
Oh so embarrassing
쳐다볼 수 없어
Can't look
사랑에 빠져서 
Because of love
수줍은 걸
I feel shy

Gee Gee Gee Gee Baby Baby Baby
Gee Gee Gee Gee Be Be Be Be Be Be

(어떻게 하죠) 어떡 어떡하죠

(두근두근두근) 두근두근 거려
(Thump thump thump) My heart is thumping
밤엔 잠도 못 이루죠
So I can't even sleep at night

나는 나는 바본가봐요
I, I must be a fool
그대 그대 밖에 모르는 바보
A fool who only knows you, you
그래요 그댈 보는 난
That's right, I, looking at you

너무 반짝반짝 눈이 부셔
So sparkle-sparkle so dazzling
NO NO NO NO
너무 깜짝깜짝 놀란 나는
So so surprised I am like
OH OH OH OH
너무 짜릿짜릿 몸이 떨려
So electrifying, my body shakes
Gee Gee Gee Gee Gee

Oh the soft gaze
Oh Yeah

Oh the good smell
Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah

Oh 너무 너무 예뻐
Oh so so pretty
맘이 너무 예뻐

첫눈에 반했어
Love at first sight
꼭 찍은 걸
 You are mine

Gee Gee Gee Gee Baby Baby Baby Baby
Gee Gee Gee Gee Baby Baby Baby Baby

너무나 뜨거워
Too hot
만질 수가 없어
Can't touch
사랑에 타버려
Burning with love
후끈한 걸
It's so hot

Gee Gee Gee Gee Baby Baby Baby Baby
Gee Gee Gee Gee Be Be Be Be Be Be

(어쩌면 좋아) 어쩌면 좋아요
(What do I do) What am I supposed to do?
(수줍은 나는) 수줍은 나는요
(Bashful me) This bashful me?
(몰라 몰라 몰라 몰라) 몰라 몰라하며
 (I don't know I don't know) I say I don't know, I don't know
매일 그대만 그리죠
And think of you every day.

친한 친구들은 말하죠
My good friends tell me
정말 너는 정말 못말려 바보
You are really something, silly
하지만 그댈 보는 난
But I, looking at you

말도 못했는 걸
Couldn't even talk to him
너무 부끄러워 하는 날
I am too embarrassed
용기가 없는걸까
Do I lack courage
어떡해야 좋은걸까
What am I supposed to do
두근두근 맘 졸이며 바라보고 있는 나
I, looking with my heart thumping

너무 반짝반짝 눈이 부셔
So sparkle-sparkle so dazzling
NO NO NO NO
너무 깜짝깜짝 놀란 나는
So so surprised I am like
OH OH OH OH
너무 짜릿짜릿 몸이 떨려
So electrifying, my body shakes
Gee Gee Gee Gee Gee
Oh 젖은 눈빛 

Oh the soft gaze
Oh Yeah

Why is this band important?
Ok. Alright. It should be admitted: Girls' Generation is big. Around 2008 it absolutely was either surprise ladies or Girls' Generation, however, as of 2010 the sport is over. Ladies' Generation defeated surprise Girls by a mile in immeasurable criteria -- domestic and international album sales, "presence" on media, "influence", etc. In fact, they'reright away at the highest of the heap among feminine "idol groups" (a term denoting heavily corporate-produced bands,) and quite presumably among all idol teams.
While the work that these young girls place into their career ought to by no means that discounted, one will justlydespair concerning the truth within which people that are not any over pretty puppets following a collection businessarrange can do bigger flattery than the foremost innovative artists. However, once that business arrange succeeds as stunningly because the one behind Girls' Generation, one still must note.
The strength behind Girls' Generation is that it had a transparent goal: produce the broadest attractiveness doable. Everything concerning Girls' Generation revolves around that goal. First, there's a horde of them -- 9 ladies with differing types of appearance to settle on from. Also, they were meticulously trained in dance and foreign language. As a result of them required to attract to young and previous alike, they cursed with being cute while not being to a fault sexualized. Their dance moves usually concerned old-school moves reinterpreted. (This is visible within the choreography for Gee.) This worked to an incredible degree, as men forty years previously and on top of usually were ready to follow Girls' Generation while not feeling sort of a pervert. They perpetually unbroken it straightforward with their hair, costumes and makeup. In fact, one among the foremost fortunate theme that Girls' Generation done was skinny jeans and white T-shirts. (This is in stark distinction to surprise ladies' flaky ideas for the Dream Girls within the Sixties, for instance.) The means Girls' Generation plays the media is additionally innovative. To saturate the media, every member of Girls' Generation had an aspect project as an associate degree role player or a featured member in a project band, whereas continued to remain as a full -- like Voltron, perhaps.
As a concert-goer, the Korean deplores the proliferation of "bands" like Girls' Generation. However, going past the private style, there's many things to find out from however this cluster became fortunate wherever several others have failed.

Interesting trivia:
Nikkei Business, a distinguished business magazine in Japan, recently carried a commentaryanalogizing Girls' Generation's success to the success of Korean world companies like Samsung.
