They saw me looking at his smile
And shouted loud from half a mile
“얼레리~ 꼴레리~” oh no
Here they go — the teasing show
I turned around, tried not to grin
But butterflies danced on my skin
They sing it like it’s something bad
But guess what? I’m kinda glad
Hands on cheeks, they point and shout
“얼레리 꼴레리~ you like him now!”
Well maybe yes, maybe it's true
So here’s my answer back to you:
얼레리 꼴레리 — I said it first!
My heart beats loud, it might just burst
You call it cute, you think it’s fun
But I won’t run — I like someone!
얼레리 꼴레리 — tell the world
I like that boy, I’m not that girl
Who hides behind a blushing face
I said it proud — in your face!
They draw hearts on my notebook page
And whisper stuff to mock my age
“얼레리 꼴레리~ love attack~”
But I just laugh and tease them back
He walks by, I wave too wide
They start singing from the side
“얼레리~ 꼴레리~ oh she's red!”
Yeah, I am — and love’s ahead
I used to flinch, I used to hide
Now I shout it with my pride
You can sing it all day long
I’ll turn it to my power song!
[Chorus – Repeat]
얼레리 꼴레리 — I said it loud!
No more hiding in the crowd
He’s the one I think about
So tease me more — I’ll scream it out!
얼레리 꼴레리 — sing with me
It’s not shame, it’s honesty
You say it wrong — I say it right
This is my love, and it’s bright!
[Bridge – Chant style, playful whispers layered]
얼레리... 꼴레리...
You can’t stop this energy
얼레리... 꼴레리...
Yeah, he’s looking back at me
얼레리 꼴레리!
I like him — can’t you see?
[Final Chorus – Group chant + harmony + ad-libs]
얼레리 꼴레리 — say it again!
Love begins when we’re just friends
He’s my crush, and that’s okay
You can tease me every day
얼레리 꼴레리 — loud and true
I’m not scared to say “I do”
If you feel it, don’t pretend
얼레리 꼴레리 — love won’t end!
[Outro – Big finish, spoken]
"얼레리... 꼴레리...
Yeah, I said it. So what?"
(giggle + group laughter)
