Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This playful romantic song captures the protagonist's affectionate teasing of his lover, Sunandha. He wonders whether he should embrace her while she feigns annoyance or keep a distance to play along with her drama. Overwhelmed by her captivating gaze, he desires to whisk her away into a world where only the two of them exist.
