Loved Oppa Gangnam Style? Well I finally have some English lyrics for you (Updated)

About a week ago, I posted a video of one of the most popular videos on YouTube at the moment, which was the Korean video titled “Gangnam Style.” Most people call it Oppa Gangnam Style, although “oppa” is not in the song title. Not that much of a big deal, but I feel that I should point that out anyways.

Now if you didn't understand the video, then I don't know what to tell you. Put it this way – it is one of those types of videos that you either get it or you don't. You might have not have been able to get the video, especially because what they are saying is not English, with the exception of a few words. Hopefully these translated lyrics will help you understand better.

And for the elevator scene – still have no clue why that was included in there, unless to make the video funnier. I don't think that PSY is...well...connect the dots. I don't want to just put the word out there. It starts with a g and ends with a y for those that didn't catch on by the time you are reading this sentence. :-/

So below is the original video. Be sure to watch this while looking at the lyrics. I might be able to create a video myself, but that is a lot to get info right now for a simple blog post, but you can volunteer if you wish. Oh, and before I get to add this, this video has over 124,545,040 views as of this blog posting. I wish I could create a dynamic script that checks the views, but I don' t know how to quite do that (yet). Also something I should work on, eh?
And here is those valued lyrics that I mentioned. Hope you all enjoy. These lyrics are from start to finish, so they are in “song” order so to speak.

Lyrics
OPPA is
Gangnam Style
Gangnam Style

A girl who is warm and humane during the day.
A classy girl who know how to enjoy the freedom of a cup of coffee
A girl whose heard gets hotter when the night comes
A girl with that kind of twist

I'm a guy:
A guy who is as warm as you during the day.
A guy who one-shots his coffee before it even cools down

A girl whose heard gets hotter when the night comes
A girl with that kind of twist
A guy whose heard bursts when night comes
That kind of guy

Beautiful, lovable
Yes you, hey
yes you, hey
Beautiful lovable
yes you, hey
yes you, hey
Now lets go until the end

Oppa is Gangnam style,
Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style
Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady
Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady
oh oh oh oh

A girl who looks quiet but plays when she plays
A girl who puts her hair down when the right time comes
A girl who covers herself but is more sexy than a girl that bares it all
A sensible girl like that.

I'm a guy:
A guy who seems calm but plays when he plays
A guy who goes completely crazy when the right time comes
Who has bulging ideas rather then muscles
That kind of guy

Beautiful, lovable
Yes you, hey
yes you, hey
Beautiful lovable
yes you, hey
yes you, hey
Now lets go until the end

Oppa is Gangnam style,
Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style
Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady
Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady
oh oh oh oh

On top of the running man is the flying man
baby baby
I'm a man who knows a thing or two
You know what I'm saying
Oppa is Gangnam Style

Oppa Gangnam Style!

Oh, and if you are still wondering what “Gangnam Style” means, then I suggest you go here.

So, does the song make more sense to you now that you know what they are saying in English? Let me know of your thoughts in the comments below. I am also hearing reports about that song taking over t heir lives. Either they can't stop listening to the song or watching the video. You'll see more PSY coverage here if anything else breaks.

Update: I have received some feedback on how funny the elevator scene was. So I'm going to embed two elevator scene videos that are totally funny. Hope you like those too.
