Red Velvet “Oh Boy” Lyrics

Hangul

Oh, boy (boy), oh, boy (bo-boy)
Oh, boy (boy), oh, boy

Oh, boy, 날 비춘 햇빛
Oh, boy, 모두 네 눈빛, oh, boy, 넌 너무 눈이 부셔, hey
Oh, boy, 귓가에 살며시
Oh, boy, 달콤한 목소리, oh, boy, 잠든 날 깨워준 너, eh

배운 적 없었던 말로 입을 열고
오직 널 담으려 감은 눈을 뜨고
나조차 정말 몰랐던 날 발견한 걸, yeah

꿈에 그려온 환상 속, 그가 날 찾아와, 찾아와, 찾아와
또 말없이 다가와, 숨 멎는 미소만
넌 내게 깜짝, 난 눈만 깜박 입술 닿을 듯, 시간이 멈춘 순간
내 안으로 새로운 계절이 불어와

Oh, boy (boy), oh, boy (bo-boy)
Oh, boy (boy), oh, boy (boy)

Oh, boy (숨겨진 나를 깨워줄래?), oh, boy (눈부신 네게 눈을 뜰 때)
Oh, boy (어제완 다른 세상이 돼), oh, boy (yeah, yeah)

Oh, boy, 마치 퍼즐처럼
Oh, boy, 한 조각이 없던, oh, boy, 날 완벽히 맞춘 너야, hey

익숙한 세상이 왠지 특별하게
네가 날 불러서 전부 아름답게
놀라운 이런 감정은 난 처음인데, yeah (ooh-ooh, ooh)

꿈에 그려온 환상 속, 그가 날 찾아와, 찾아와, 찾아와 (그가 날 찾아와, baby)
또 말없이 다가와, 숨 멎는 미소만
넌 내게 깜짝, 난 눈만 깜박 입술 닿을 듯, 시간이 멈춘 순간
내 안으로 새로운 계절이 불어와 (that boy, boy)

Oh, boy (숨겨진 나를 깨워줄래?), oh, boy (눈부신 네게 눈을 뜰 때)
Oh, boy (어제완 다른 세상이 돼), oh, boy (yeah)

Oh, 운명은 살짝 부족해
이건 기적인 걸, 꿈보다 멋진 현실 앞에, yeah
더 이상 잠들지 못해, 처음 깨어난 이 맘을
말로는 표현 못해, 나만을 봐줘, 나의 그대

작은 속삭임 하나에 긴 꿈을 벗어나, 벗어나, 벗어나 (oh, boy)
넌 지긋한 눈빛과, 따뜻한 미소만
참 낯선 향기 또 네 목소리, 날 바라보는 네 눈을 바라본 나
왜 이름도 몰랐던 꽃으로 피어나?

Oh, boy (숨겨진 나를 깨워줄래?), oh, boy (눈부신 네게 눈을 뜰 때)
Oh, boy (어제완 다른 세상이 돼), oh, boy (yeah, yeah)

Oh, boy

Oh boy
Oh boy

Oh boy, the sunlight that shines on me
Oh boy, all of the looks in your eye
Oh boy, you’re so dazzling, hey
Oh boy, softly in my ear
Oh boy, your sweet voice
Oh boy, you wake me up

My lips open with words I’ve never learned before
My closed eyes are now open to only look at you
I’m discovering a me that I haven’t even known, yeah

The fantasy I’ve dreamed of
You’ve come to me, come to me, come to me
Without a word, you came to me, with a heart-stopping smile
You surprised me, I could only blink
When our lips were about to touch, time stopped
A new season came into me

Oh boy
Oh boy
Oh boy
Oh boy

Oh boy, will you awaken the hidden me?
Oh boy, when I open my eyes to the dazzling you
Oh boy, it’s a different world from yesterday
Oh boy

Oh boy, like a puzzle
Oh boy, I was missing a piece
Oh boy, but you perfectly completed me

You make this familiar world special
When you call me, everything is so beautiful
I’ve never felt this amazing feeling, yeah

The fantasy I’ve dreamed of
You’ve come to me, come to me, come to me
Without a word, you came to me, with a heart-stopping smile
You surprised me, I could only blink
When our lips were about to touch, time stopped
A new season came into me

Oh boy, will you awaken the hidden me?
Oh boy, when I open my eyes to the dazzling you
Oh boy, it’s a different world from yesterday
Oh boy

Destiny is not enough to describe, this is a miracle
Reality is even better than dreams, yeah
I can’t fall asleep anymore
My heart has awakened for the first time
I can’t express this with words, look at me, my love

Your small whispers make me
Escape from my long dream
Your deep eyes and your warm smile
Your new scent, your voice
I’m looking at your eyes that are looking at me
I’m blooming as a flower that I didn’t even know about

Oh boy, will you awaken the hidden me?
Oh boy, when I open my eyes to the dazzling you
Oh boy, it’s a different world from yesterday
Oh boy

Oh boy
