Everybody say Roar! (Roar!)
Say Roar! (Roar!)
Say Roar! (Roar!)
It’s the Year of the Yong! (The year of the yong!)
Who’s that creature swimming through the sea?
Bringing good fortune to you and me?
Flowing, and flying, and twisting around
So clouds rise up and the rain falls down
It’s the Year of the Yong! (The year of the yong!)
It’s the Year of the Yong! (The year of the yong!)
Who’s lucky and strong? (Who’s lucky and strong!)
In the year of the Yong! (The year of the yong!)
Last year was the year of the tokki, next year is the year of the bem (ssss)
We got 12 different zodiac animal signs and every year we celebrate one of them!
It’s the Year of the Yong! (The year of the yong!)
It’s the Year of the Yong! (The year of the yong!)
And all year long (all year long)
It’s the year of the Yong! (The year of the yong!)
Can you remember all twelve zodiac signs?
Come on, get up, let’s give it a try!
We got Mouse! (Chui!)
And cow! (So!)
And Tiger–(horangi)
Rabbit – (Toki)
Dragon – Yong!
And Snake (Bem)
We got horse (Mal)
and sheep (yang!)
That’s pretty good, but there’s still a few more!
How many left? We’ve got 1, 2, 3, 4!
Monkey (wonsugi)
Rooster (dak!)
And dog (ge!)
And pig (dwaeji!)
You got all twelve! Now it’s time to cheer!
So which animal is it this year?
(Come on, did you forget already?)
(Oh, that’s right!)
It’s the Year of the Yong! (The year of the yong!)
It’s the Year of the Yong! (The year of the yong!)
Who’s lucky and strong (who’s lucky and strong)
In the year of the Yong! (The year of the yong!)
Last year was the year of the tolki, next year is the year of the bem (ssss)
We got 12 different zodiac animal signs and every year we celebrate one of them!
It’s the Year of the Yong! (The year of the yong!)
It’s the Year of the Yong! (The year of the yong!)
And all year long (all year long)
It’s the year of the Yong! (The year of the yong!)
