Lesson.
여기 붙어라 모두 모여라
여기 means here and 붙다 means to stick or adhere something to; however, this phrase is referring to a Korean cultural (children's?) "game" where whoever wants to play a game stack their thumbs on one another. Big Bang referred to the phrase for whoever wants to party - put your thumbs up here (basically). The grammar structure that is attached the verb stem of 붙다 (붙) + present tense 라 (붙 + 어라) is saying, DO this - a light command gesture. 모두 means everyone (or all), and 모이다 is a verb meaning to gather, (+ present tense 라) means "everyone gather up!"
we gon’ party like 리리리라라라
맘을 열어라 머릴 비워라
맘 (short for 마음) means mind/heart. Attached to 맘 is the object marker 을 that marks your heart as the object of the verb. 열다 is a verb meaning to open. (plus the added +(present tense)라 [command]), this means Open your (what? - the object) heart/mind. 머리 means head and the ㄹ is just another object marker that is now marking head. 비우다 is a verb meaning to empty (out) + (present tense 라), it means empty your head (essentially your mind).
불을 지펴라 리리리라라라
불 means fire, and again, it is marked with an object marker (을). 지피다 is a verb meaning to light. Again, +(present tense)라 means they are telling the audience to light the fire!
정답은 묻지 말고 그대로 받아들여
정답 is an answer, or correct answer. The added 은 is marking the correct answer as the topic of the sentence - essentially, what the sentence is about. 묻지 말고 is split into parts. First, 묻다 is a verb meaning to ask. The verb stem (묻) is the taken and -지 말고 is added to mean instead of doing (verb) - before -지 말고 - do (this). So, instead of asking the (correct) answer... 그대 means you; however, when the particle -로 is added, 그대로 means as you are. 받아들이다 is a verb meaning to accept/absorb something (it is then conjugated into present tense - 받아들이 - 다 + 어). So, it is roughly translated to, instead of asking what the correct answer is, just absorb/accept it as you are.
느낌대로 가 alright
느낌 means a feeling. The grammar structure -대로 means "like this," or "according to." So, 느낌대로 means according to the feeling, or following the feeling. 가 is simply the present tense form of the verb 가다 - to go. So, just go according to the feeling.
하늘을 마주하고 두 손을 다 위로 저 위로
하늘 means the sky, and added to the sky is the object marker 을 marking the SKY as the object of the verb - 마주하다 which means to face something. Face what? - the object - the sky. Attached to the verb stem 마주하 is the grammar structure -고 which means AND while linking verbs/sentences together. So, face the sky AND... 두 손 means two hands/your two hands and attached is the object marker 을 marking your hands as the object of the rest of the sentence. 다 means all, but here it generally means everyone's hands. 위 means top (or up here) and the particle -로 represents the direction in which your hands should go. 저 usually means that, it is still referring to all the hands that they want to go up - pumping up the crowd! So, face the sky and put your two hands up! All hands, those hands!
날뛰고 싶어
날뛰다 means to jump up and let loose (as a whole) - essentially get wild! The attached grammar structure is -고 싶다 which means I want to. So, I want to get wild and jump and let loose together (as a crowd/group!)
여기 means here and 붙다 means to stick or adhere something to; however, this phrase is referring to a Korean cultural (children's?) "game" where whoever wants to play a game stack their thumbs on one another. Big Bang referred to the phrase for whoever wants to party - put your thumbs up here (basically).
