By letting your hair get tousled so often,

you stole my heart away.

For me to lose myself every single day,

you paved the way.

Like a crescent moon with sharp nails,

you carried yourself.

The armies called your two eyes,

you sent them marching at me.

Today, I am enjoying my solitude.

I refuse to come back down to the ground.

I am living on the edge of a leaf.

For the very first time, I am completely lost.

Intertwining our fingers,

ah, as we walk,

all my pain slowly fades away,

and I take flight at once.

Drawn in by your scent,

I dissolve away.

Even when all my weight is gone,

ah, my heart feels so heavy.

I slowly melt away,

and freeze for a moment... my...

By letting your hair get tousled so often,

you stole my heart away.

For me to lose myself every single day,

you paved the way.

Like a crescent moon with sharp nails,

you carried yourself.

The armies called your two eyes,

you sent them marching at me.

Like a tree standing all alone,

why is it that today,

a brand new kind of restlessness stirs

here in my life?

Today, I read my dreams.

I wander along the seashore.

I fly on the breeze of fluttering eyelashes.

I look at everything in utter wonder.

Once love arrives,

this restless anxiety...

Leaning upon your shoulder,

Male: to slowly forget everything on my mind, I...

By letting your hair get tousled so often,

you stole my heart away.

For me to lose myself every single day,

you paved the way.

Like a crescent moon with sharp nails,

you carried yourself.

Male: The armies called your two eyes,

you sent them marching at me.

All of my sleep

has gone to sleep itself.

There are no words

to describe the state I am in.

The feeling your photograph gives

pleases my heart so much.

To live right beside you,

my heart yearns and races.

When love itself

falls in love with us,

just looking at myself,

I feel so shy.

Saying one thing or another,

you tease me playfully.

When no one else is around,

I quietly cherish it within.

By letting your hair get tousled so often,

you stole my heart away.

For me to lose myself every single day,

you paved the way.

Like a crescent moon with sharp nails,

you carried yourself.

The armies called your two eyes,

you sent them marching at me.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song depicts the intoxicating joy and lighthearted vulnerability of falling deeply in love. The protagonist is completely mesmerized by simple actions—such as his lover adjusting her hair or casting a glance—which feel like powerful arrows aimed directly at his heart. He describes floating in a weightless dream state where pain vanishes, solitude becomes pleasant, and everyday thoughts dissolve into sweet romantic obsession. As the lyric progresses, the emotional experience shifts between childlike shyness and profound tenderness. Leaning on her shoulder and cherishing private moments of light teasing, he marvels at how love transforms mundane life into a poetic journey filled with wonder, sleeplessness, and overwhelming happiness.
