Beyond the translation

Song interpretation

The song depicts the agonizing emotional turmoil of lovers facing impending separation. The speaker expresses how a heavy burden of sorrow builds up in a corner of their soul as farewell approaches. Memories of intimate moments—a late-night rendezvous on the rooftop terrace, a tight embrace under the moonlight, and a passionate first kiss—contrast sharply with the impending grief of distance.
