Just tell me whatcha wish!

I wanna know your wish, even the little ones.

Imagine your ideal type is standing by your side -

Then you gotta trust in me.

Cause I'm your Genie, your fantasy Genie, yeah!

Get into your dream car, fly away!
I'm at the wheel, you're by my side.

Lean back, relax and leave this all up to me!

Even if you feel you can't go on, please don't get down, just let it go!

'Cause right now I'll give you the whole wide world.

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.
