O moon-like girl who rules over me,
I am your sky.
Beyond you, my life
is nothing at all; come to me, come.
O dew that soaks the night,
O sunray that opens the day,
enough of the tears overflowing from your eyes.
Our desert will turn into spring.
Come, my life, come.
Like a child searching for its mother,
as I search for you too,
in the forest of affection, in the spring of love,
to be immersed every day.
You blended into my feelings, my soul,
I will never part from you from now on.
Brought together by the ocean waves,
like the cool sand,
to hold you gently,
this love yearns.
I for you,
and you for me,
once born for each other,
what does separation even mean?
O dew that soaks the night,
O sunray that opens the day,
the dampness in your eyes will fade away.
Our desert will turn into spring.
Come, my life, come.
Like a child searching for its mother,
as I search for you,
beyond you, my life
has nothing left to live for.
You blended into my feelings, my soul,
I will never part from you from now on.
Enough of the tears overflowing from your eyes.
Our desert will turn into spring.
Come, my life, come.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This soulful romantic track expresses intense devotion, emotional dependency, and deep love between two soulmates. The lovers compare their relationship to natural elements—the moon and the sky, dew on a cool night, and rays of sunshine opening up a new day. They describe how life without each other holds no meaning, looking forward to turning their past grief and dry 'desert-like' struggles into a blooming 'springtime' of togetherness. The lyricist beautifully captures the innocence of love by comparing a lover's quest to a child seeking its mother. Ultimately, the song reassures that souls born for one another can never truly be separated, promising lifelong togetherness and solace.
