Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This romantic song expresses profound devotion and unconditional love. The protagonist declares that the myth of angels not existing on Earth was shattered the moment their lover was born. The celestial bodies—the Sun and Moon—are described as competing endlessly just to catch a glimpse of the lover's immense affection. With the beloved by their side, the speaker feels capable of conquering the world and pleads never to be separated even for a fraction of a second. The lyrics conclude with a deeply tender commitment where the lover promises to give motherly protection and care, treating the beloved as a precious child.
