'Oppan Gangnam Style' translates to 'I've got the Gangnam style'.
Psy, the artist of the video, is referring himself in a third person as Oppa in the song as he is trying to impress women of Gangnam, a posh district in South Korea. For example, a guy in New York may say, 'I've got the Manhattan style', etc.
Oppa literally means 'big brother'.
Oppan literally means 'big brother is'.
The Korean term Oppa is used by a younger female sibling in referring to her older brother.
It is also used by girls and women in referring to anyolder males who are close and familiar among relatives. Girls when referring to her boyfriend who is usually older often use this term to imply closeness in romance.
Psy is asking Gangnam women who are beautiful, smart, sophisticated, fun loving and sexy to consider him as a romantic partner and wants to be called oppa.
Psy seems to be saying that 'even though I may not look fancy like those rich and handsome guys who live in Gangnam, I have the style'. He is asking women of Gangnam to give him a chance because he understands these women, and they are just his type.
In the song, he implies that the looks and the riches of a man does not tell all that is about a man. There is more to a man, and he desires to be compared in a different way.
The lyrics in Korean speaks volume, and I hope an appropriate translation will be available soon.
Here is my version:
I've got the Gangnam style.
The Gangnam style.
You are so warm and perfectly kind to everyone in the daytime
Even sipping a cup of coffee is a portrait of an elegance.
Yet, the evening brings out passion in you.
A woman of many talents.
I am a man.
I am as warm as you in the daytime.
I gulp my coffee while it's steaming hot.
And in the evening, my passion explodes.
I am your man.
How beautiful, how lovely you are.
It is you.
Hey.
You are the one.
Hey.
(2X)
Shall we begin and let our passion take us?
I've got Gangnam style.
The Gangnam style
(2X)
I've got Gangnam style.
I've got Gangnam style.
Oh Oh Oh Oh
You are perfect at work and play.
Even your hair knows when to come down,
Covered yet more enticing than those who bare-all.
A woman of Sensuality
I am the man
The man who can match your passion.
The man who can satisfy your passion.
The man with more ideas than muscle fibers.
I am your man.
How beautiful, how lovely you are.
It is you.
Hey.
You are the one.
Hey.
(2X)
Shall we begin and let our passion take us?
I've got Gangnam style
The Gangnam style
(2x)
I've got Gangnam style
I've got Gangnam style
Hey, Sexy Lady
Oh Oh Oh Oh
I will fly, not just run
Baby Baby
I am a man with ideas
(2X)
You know what I am saying?
I've got Gangnam style
Hey, Sexy Lady
I've got Gangnam style
Hey, Sexy Lady
I've got Gangnam style!
