Squid Game – Red Light Green Light Song Lyrics In English (Translation)

In Squid Game, the “Red Light Green Light” (Doll Song) game features a large robot that chants “무궁화 꽃이 피었습니다” (Mugunghwa kkotchi pieot seumnida), meaning “The mugunghwa flower has bloomed.” This phrase comes from a traditional Korean children’s game similar to “Red Light, Green Light.” In the game, players try to move forward while the “curator” chants and turns around. If they’re caught moving, they’re eliminated. The mugunghwa flower, South Korea’s national symbol, represents endurance and resilience, adding a dark twist to the game in Squid Game by turning a simple childhood game into a deadly challenge.
