Translations

Looking this way baby while on the phone ring ring

Acting natural to the point where it's unnatural

I already noticed that you are a paparazzi

I’ll give you the smile you want a-hahaha

Every night is a hide and seek

The twinkling star of the satellite

Don't you want a better article?

Let’s get along because aren’t we friends?

Life is a party

From the garage to the suite room

You are always Boom Boom Boom!

A flashy car chase, flowers all around

You are drawn to me Boom Boom Boom!

Love cannot be attached with a price

The flash that tore up the darkness rips apart the money!

Life is a party

From the garage to the suite room

Whether asleep or awake, it’s Boom Boom Boom!

While hiding, the scene you want to see ulalala

That girl is also acting seriously lachachala

Even that dandy guy says Mama! Mama! at home

The thrill of a secret kiss is exciting

Punkadelic Crazy Night

The searching light of a pulsing star

Not caring about the bad boy and bad girl

"Dance instead of being lead" is [my] style

Life is a party

The more damage the more it sells

If you find me, it's the last Boom Boom Boom!

End of the darkness, the lurking shadows

I'll stay ahead of it, Boom Boom Boom!

Ever since the rumors sparked into gossip

My name is burning and on fire!

Even though I only want to love and be loved

Any kind of love is tainted love

I can't resist, I can't resist at all.

I don’t even have free time to make a fuss

Even over there, even over here, Boom Boom Boom!

The more I’m seen the more I shine, so

Come on, Friends look and come here ratata

Life is a party

From the garage to the suite room

You are always Boom Boom Boom!

A flashy car chase, flowers all around

You are drawn to me Boom Boom Boom!

Until the single tear that fell now

changes into a shining diamond

Life is a party

From the garage to the suite room

Whether asleep or awake, it’s Boom Boom Boom!

Translator's Note:

"踊らされるより踊る” がStyle - This line also means that the person does not want to be manipulated by other people and rather go their own way and style.

The 4th Japanese Single "PAPARAZZI"

"PAPARAZZI" is a song by Girls' Generation, released from their upcoming fourth Japanese-language single. It is set to be released on June 27, 2012.

"PAPARAZZI" was written by Swedish songwriters, Fredrik Thomander and Johan Becker, and produced by American producer, Miles Walker. Prior to the single's announcement, members Tiffany and Jessica spoke of the group's new material. Tiffany, on DJ Isak's radio show, "K-Poppin'", said that she had been "in and out of the studio prepping for some new material." Jessica also spoke of new material with Elle Girl magazine, "[Our] Japan album will be released sometime in the second half of the year. We're working hard on it."

"Paparazzi" (Music Video: close-up version)

A teaser video of "Paparazzi" was released by SM Entertainment on May 29, 2012, on their official YouTube channel. The Japanese TV show Zip! quickly aired the same teaser, followed by a 22-second audio teaser of the song. Teaser images of the group were released in the week following.

After much anticipation, Girls’ Generation has finally released the regular music video and dance version for “PAPARAZZI” on June 15, 2012.

The music video features the girls on a theater set and is accompanied by “PAPARAZZI”, an extremely catchy song that is fast-paced, as reflected in the song’s choreography. The girls appear in two different sets of outfits. The first are the red, white, and black outfits pictured above, while they also appear in white and black outfits with elbow-length neon pink gloves. These gloves emphasize the numerous hand gestures, which seem to be the point of this choreography.




In addition to the music video, a dance version of “PAPARAZZI” has also been released, which does not show Girls’ Generation’s entrance into the theater and instead focuses on the song’s choreography. The dance version for “PAPARAZZI” involves many camera angles which allow viewers to be able to take in the choreography as a whole. The four-minute video also alternates between the two sets of outfits, which both highlight the powerful choreography for their latest single.

The music video for "Paparazzi" is said to be the largest music video that Girls' Generation had ever done. The set built for the video contained over 30,000 light bulbs, and the buildings used needed a week to complete with 120 people hired to do the work. Additionally, 300 people were cast in the video. A total of 5 versions of the video were filmed, the highest amount for any video in Girls' Generation history. This includes close-up versions of each of the girls.

Fans who had been anticipating the release of these two videos used the hashtag “#SNSDPAPARAZZI” on Twitter, which immediately rocketed to the first place on the worldwide trends list.

MUSIC VIDEO SYNOPSIS

The video, lasting 6 minutes 36 seconds, begins with the girls walking through a hallway into the lobby of a hotel surrounded by reporters, it then cuts to a theater, where Seohyun and Tiffany are seen preparing to go on stage. On the stage, a man is seen walking across, announcing, "Ladies and gentlemen, Girls' Generation. Come on!" The curtain opens, revealing a street corner, with clubs, a coffee shop and a movie theater. Posters at the movie theater read "Girls' Generation In Concert", containing pictures of the group from the repackaged of their debut Japanese album, Girls' Generation.
The girls are then seen walking in trench coats, meeting in the middle of the street, in the background, the song, Singin' In The Rain, performed by Gene Kelly can be heard. Camera flashes then go off, and the girls become shocked. It then cuts to a title card reading "Paparazzi - Girls' Generation". They then take off the trench coats, revealing mostly red and black outfits (Hyoyeon and Yuri's are black and white, and Seohyun's is completely black), and the song begins. During the first chorus, a second set is seen, which resembles a ballroom and contains lightbulb covered walls, with a chandelier fixed to the ceiling, this set is also seen in the dance version of the video. The video contains cuts going back to the group walking through the lobby, being followed by reporters, while being asked questions, as well as closeups of each of the members. The video ends at the original set, with the girls posing with their hands to resemble a camera, panning into the front page of a newspaper that reads "Weekly Exploitation Press" in the title, articles are seen below with headlines reading as such, "Their Style Has Become The Bible For Fashion", and "Girls' Generation Gets Surrounded" The camera zooms into a photo of the street scene, with the girls wearing the trench coats, walking off while Singin' in the Rain plays again, the curtain closes and the audience is seen clapping.

Korean Lyrics

검게 타오른 moon light 붉은 twilight zone
뒤따라 조여 드는 발자국 소리 널 흔든다

시작부터 이미 난 예감했어 기적 같은 사랑 그건 없는 거라고
애초부터 그런 널 알아챘어 나의 체스 판 위 넌 뛰고 있을 뿐

늦었어 체크메이트 길은 없어 더 변명 따위 소용없어
핑계도 허튼 후회도 이젠 다 끝난 게임

원하겠지 넌 타임아웃 내 답은 No
부지런하지 정말 Boy meets Girls. No way! 대담하지

내 눈은 서치라이트 너를 보고 있어 그녀들의 스토리 전부 알고 있지
몇 번을 본 영활 넌 또 보고 있어 마치 처음 놀란 척 그 표정으로

이미 넌 체크메이트 숨기려고 마 함정에 빠진 거야
슬픔도 눈물도 없어 이대로 넌 가면 돼 이렇게 bye!

뒤돌아 볼 필요 없어 다시는 우연히도 보지 말기로 해
아직도 커튼콜을 원해? 넌 끝났어.

늦었어 체크메이트 길은 없어 더 변명 따위 소용없어
핑계도 허튼 후회도 이젠 다 끝난 게임

이미 넌 체크메이트 숨기려고 마 함정에 빠진 거야
슬픔도 눈물도 없어 이대로 넌 가면 돼
이렇게 bye bye 체크메이트

Translations

Blackly burning moon light, red twilight zone
The sound of footsteps impelling behind you. It's shaking you up.

I've already expected since the beginning. There's no such thing as a miraculous love.
I've noticed you since the start. You're just running on my chess board.

It's too late, checkmate. There's no more way, it's useless for anymore excuses.
Excuses or regrets, the game is already over.

You want a time out, but my answer is no.
You're very busy really, boy meets girl. No way! Very bold.

My eyes are a searchlight, looking at you. I know all the girls' stories.
You're watching a movie you already watched multiple times, with that expression like you are surprised for the first time.

You're already checkmate. Don't try to hide, you fell for the trap.
There's no sadness or tears. You can just go away like this, bye!

No need to look back, let's not see each other even by accident.
You still want a curtain call? You're done.It's too late, checkmate. There's no more way, it's useless for anymore excuses.

Excuses or regrets, the game is already over.
You're already checkmate. Don't try to hide, you fell for the trap.
There's no sadness or tears. You can just go away
Like this, bye bye checkmate.
