    The Gwiyomi does not only mean 'cute' as stated by many. It is translated as "cute little ear" or "cute little spoon". The whole word Gwiyomi is an allusion on the German word "Häschen".

    '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
