DARARI (다라리)

TREASURE's 'DARARI (다라리)' is a vibrant and melodic love song that uses musical metaphors to express affection and longing. The lyrics convey a message of a person who has been captivated by their love interest, comparing their presence to music that inspires and moves them. The repeated phrase '다라라라라라리' mimics the rhythm of a catchy tune, symbolizing how the person's thoughts are constantly filled with their love interest, much like a song that one can't get out of their head.

The song's verses reveal a story of unspoken affection that has been present since a young age ('since seventeen'). The protagonist has been watching over their love interest, admiring them from a distance without expressing their feelings. However, the confidence in the lyrics suggests that the protagonist believes the love interest is also aware of this affection, as indicated by their smiles and the way they look back. The term 'bonita-nita' is a play on the Spanish word 'bonita,' meaning 'beautiful,' which adds an exotic and affectionate flair to the song.

The bridge of the song introduces a more direct confession, with the protagonist spelling out 'I L-O-V-E Y-O-U,' making their feelings clear. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody reflect the excitement and joy of being in love. The use of musical terms like 'melody' and 'muse' emphasizes the idea that the love interest is not just the object of affection but also the inspiration behind the protagonist's creativity and expression.
