Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song expresses the playful and heartfelt emotions of a young man deeply in love. He feels that the girl was destined solely for him, filling his waking thoughts and dreams. She acts playfully hard-to-get—pulling away when he pursues her, yet running back to embrace him when he steps back. The protagonist marvels at her charming antics and vows that his deep love for her will never diminish.
