샤이니 (SHINee) – Ring Ding Dong Lyrics and Translation

Album: 2009, Year of Us. 3rd Mini Album
Release Date: October 14th, 2009
Notes: This song is mad catchy.

EDITED (10/15/09 @ 08:51AM PST)
Edited a few lyrics after seeing the inkigayo performance

I (as usual) have problems with the lyrics but I’m willing to forgive because
1. This song is mad catchy,
2. They most likely do not have control of the quality of the lyrics
3. It’s Shinee! I continue to love them though they are easily the awkwardest idol group in all of Kpop. I’m almost completely certain that they are all secret nerds or weirdos (except Minho who I bet money is a punk IRL) and that compensates for a lot in my mind.

If you haven’t heard; here you go.

EDIT (10/14/09 @ 10:12AM PST)

What does ‘elastic’ mean in this context? A few theories…

• it is a reference to Mr. Fantastic from the Fantastic Four, who is made out of elastic. (Mr. Fantastic Elastic)
• they’re not saying ‘elastic’ at all. in fact they are are saying ‘ LSD’, secretly telling their fans about their drug preference. (Fantastic LSD)
• Lee Soo Man got sick of the tight skinny pants and forced SHINee to wear baggy jeans. The group is still not used to wearing anything so loose that they use elastic waistbands to keep them up. (Elastic is fantastic!)
• It is in reference to their flexibility in bed. (Ooo, fantastic so elastic ) (credit for theory is to candychu!)

Lyrics

Baby
네게 반해 버린 내게 왜 이래
두렵다고 물러서지 말고
그냥 내게 맡겨봐라 어때
My lady

Butterfly
너를 만난 첫 순간
눈이 번쩍 머린 Stop
벨이 딩동 울렸어

난 말야 멋진놈
착한놈 그런 놈은 아니지만
나름대로 괜찮은 Bad Boy

너도 마치 butterfly
너무 약해 빠졌어
너무 순해 빠졌어
널 곁에 둬야겠어
더는 걱정마 걱정마
나만 믿어보면 되잖아
니가 너무 맘에 들어
놓칠 수 없는 걸

Baby
내가 가슴을 멈출 수 oh crazy
너무 예뻐 견딜 수 oh crazy
너 아니면 필요없다 crazy
나 왜 이래

We wanna go rocka rocka
rocka rocka rocka
So fantastic
So elastic

fantastic fantastic
fantastic fantastic
elastic elastic

I call you butterfly
날이 가면 갈수록
못이 박혀 너란 걸
헤어날 수 없다는 걸

나를 선택해
(돌이키지 말고)
선택해
(도망가지 말고)
네게 빠진 바보인 나
날 책임 져야 돼

Baby
내가 가슴을 멈출 수 oh crazy
너무 예뻐 견딜 수 oh crazy
너 아니면 필요없다 crazy
나 왜 이래

난 착하디 착한증후군이 걸린
너를 이해 못 하겠다
넌 가끔씩 그런 고정이미지를
탈피 이탈해봐 괜찮다

Break out (hey)
Break out (hey)
Break out (hey)
Break out (hey)

Ding Ding Ding Ding
Dong Dong Dong Dong

사실 난 불안해
어떻게 날 보는지
어쩌면 어쩌면
내게 호감을 갖고 있는지 몰라
이토록 안절부절
할 수밖에 없어
돌이킬 수 없는 걸

Complicated girl
절대 NO란 대답하지 마
나 괜찮은 남자란 걸
내가 미쳐버릴지 몰라
Don’t be silly girl (silly girl)
you’re my miracle (my miracle)
너만 가질 수 있다면
내겐 다 필요없는 걸

Baby
내가 가슴을 멈출 수 oh crazy
너무 예뻐 견딜 수 oh crazy
너 아니면 필요없다 crazy
나 왜 이래

We wanna go rocka rocka

Baby
I’ve fallen, so why treat me like this?
Don’t run away in fear
but why not try trusting me.
My lady

(x4)

Butterfly
From the moment I met you,
My eyes flashed, my head stopped
and a bell rang ding dong

Look, I may not be cool
nice, or anything like that
but I’m a pretty decent bad boy

You’re like a butterfly
So weak, I’ve fallen
So gentle, I’ve fallen
I have to have you near me
Don’t worry any more, any more
you only have to trust me
I’m really digging you
I can’t let you go

Baby
You stop my heart oh crazy
So pretty I can’t stand it oh crazy
I don’t need anything else crazy
Why am I like this?

We wanna go rocka rocka
rocka rocka rocka
So fantastic
So elastic

fantastic fantastic

I call you butterfly
As the days go by
the idea that I can’t escape you
Gets driven in further

Choose me
(Don’t turn away)
Choose me
(Don’t run away)
You have to take responsibility
for this fool that’s fallen for you

Baby
You stop my heart oh crazy
So pretty I can’t stand it oh crazy
I don’t need anything else crazy
Why am I like this?

I don’t understand how you
caught the kindness syndrome
But it’s okay if you sometimes
break away from that stereotyped image

Break out (hey)
Break out (hey)
Break out (hey)
Break out (hey)

Ding Ding Ding Ding
Dong Dong Dong Dong

Honestly I’m nervous
as to how you see me,
You might, you just might
have a good impression of me.
I can’t help but
be on pins and needles.
I can’t turn away

Complicated girl
Please don’t respond with a ‘no’
I’m an pretty decent guy
But I might go crazy
Silly girl (silly girl)
You’re my miracle (my miracle)
If I could only have you
I don’t need anything else

Baby
You stop my heart oh crazy
So pretty I can’t stand it oh crazy
I don’t need anything else crazy
Why am I like this?

We wanna go rocka rocka
