Just play by yourself.  Oppa's too busy.

Ah, really, you’re playing so hard to get.
Oppa, listen to what I’m saying.
If you keep working like that, all you'll do is grow old and die.
From now on, listen carefully to what I have to say.

While you're playin', you should play so you get that feelin'.
While you're playin' 1 2 3 4.
While you're playin', don’t think about anything else.
While you're playin', give your body to the music.

While you're playin', you gotta play to know all about it.
While you're playin', 1 2 3 4.
While you're playin', you still gotta work hard.
While you're playin', you gotta go crazy to get to know women.

*I am deliberately not translating the word "Oppa" here.  In Korean, the word "Oppa" is used by girls/women and literally translates to "older brother." A girl/woman in Korea would use this term of respect when speaking with an older brother, rather than using his name, which is impolite in Korean.  (An older brother to a boy/man would be called "Hyung.")

However, "Oppa" is also a word that a girl/woman would use with a close, non-related older boy/man (not her husband, ew) whom she wants to 1) be on more friendly terms with, 2) depend on/get something from, and/or 3) flirt with.  I honestly can't think of an equivalent in English that comes even close to "Oppa," except possibly (sort of), "Bro'" or "Sweetie," both of which can thrill, tickle, depress or annoy the heck out of American men and women alike, depending on how/why/when/where they are used and who is using them.  Still, those words don't even come close to adequately describing the word "Oppa."

In the song, HyunA is being respectful of Rain by calling him "Oppa," but she is also flirting with him by asking him to come over and play.  She is annoying him because he is busy, which is why he's being whiny.  On the other hand, by the end of the song, they've also got each others' heartbeats "running away."  So, I guess the real question is this:  Does HyunA ever get Rain to come on over and play?  It's your call, Clouds.  :-}

You will find excellent insight into the word "Oppa" here:  http://askakorean.blogspot.com/2009/06/ask-korean-wiki-oppa-oppa-oppa.html if you read the comments.
