Lyrics & Translation

Learning Korean through (G)I-DLE's "LATATA" offers a fun and energetic way to engage with the language. The repetitive and catchy chorus makes it easy to pick up new vocabulary and practice pronunciation. This debut song is special not only for its commercial success but also because it was written and produced by the group's leader, Soyeon, showcasing their unique self-producing talent from the very beginning.

[English]

I set a love trap, starting from me

Maybe tonight, you'll fall for me

Seductive red light, my gaze is left and right, can't stop

Love's fire, trembling higher, feeling like a dream

Uh-oh, melting together as one

I wonder how it feels to be addicted

The two of us, no-oh-oh-oh, no-oh-oh-oh, won't regret it

Even if tomorrow disappears, wow-oh-oh-oh

I love ya

I'll sing to you near your ear, lata

I love ya

I'll dance for you right in front of you, lata

I love ya

Latata, latata, latata, latata

Latata, latata, latata, latata

Let's make it a night you can't forget, lata

I love ya

I love ya

Every day, every night, latata

I love ya

Every day, every night, latata

Don't be lazy, hurry up, baby

Time's not enough, so still basic (basic)

Get so drunker, your memories might blow away

It doesn't matter what happens tomorrow (it's fine)

In this hot dance, latata (tata)

Burning ourselves out together, latata (tata)

Everyone envies us, look, isn't this feeling good? Mwah-mwah-mwah

Uh-oh, if you throw away your reason

How far will I go just like this?

Crazy, no-oh-oh-oh, no-oh-oh-oh, I can't stop

Until you burn out, wow-oh-oh-oh

I love ya

I'll sing freely, lata

I love ya

I'll dance freely, lata

I love ya

Latata, latata, latata, latata

Latata, latata, latata, latata

Make you mine, lata

I love ya

I love ya

Every day, every night, latata

I love ya

Every day, every night, latata

I set a love trap, starting from me

Maybe tonight, you'll fall for me

Seductive red light, my gaze is left and right, can't stop

Love's fire, trembling higher, feeling like a dream

...

I love ya

Every day, every night, latata

I love ya

Every day, every night, latata

...
