Just A Few Words:
Next to "Gee" and "Oh!", this definitely is one of their biggest hits! As far Girls' Generation goes, this was the first K-Pop song I heard from them.
I also happen to love this song and it's a pretty easy song to translate, which is what I need over finals week. XD
English: 7 / 10
The English is pronounced fine, but the phrasing of the "Genie" lines are awkward. The article "a" should have been added before "Genie" (I'm [a] Genie). "For your world" and "for your dream" are grammatically correct, but we don't use phrasings like that in English.
