Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song is a tender and romantic ode in which the protagonist expresses unconditional devotion to his beloved. He reminisces about walking hand in hand during a quiet evening, where the mere thought of separation causes fear, while her physical presence brings unmeasurable happiness. He expresses a desire to spend a century in her warmth and be reborn across seven lifetimes just to remain close to her.
