'Gwiyomi'/ 'Kiyomi' Lyrics in English
Ki- Ki- Kiyomi, Ki- Ki- Kiyomi
Over a chocolate muffin
Waiting for a cup of savory milk
Oppa and I sit facing each other
And scribble on each other’s hands
*Don’t look at other girls
No matter what they say
You’re mine (You’re mine)
Don’t even talk to other girls
I’m yours (I’m yours)
Please pinky promise me
That you’ll never leave me alone
**
1 plus 1 equals Kiyomi
2 plus 2 equals Kiyomi
3 plus 3 equals Kiyomi
Ki- Ki- Kiyomi, Ki- Ki- Kiyomi
4 plus 4 equals Kiyomi too
5 plus 5 equals Kiyomi too
6 plus 6 equals chu chu chu chu chu chu Kiyomi
I’m Kiyomi
* repeat
One, two, three
Close your eyes and come to me
When you touch my cheeks with your two hands
I stop your lips from kissing and…
** repeat
* repeat
