Ah… ah… ah… ah…
Ah… ah… ah… ah…
I have never seen eyes like these
I have no words to say what I feel
My soul seems to slip away
When you open your eyes and look at me
My heart breaks completely
When you walk away
Forgetting myself, I keep thinking
I talk to myself every day
I love you with all my life
Losing my senses, I breathe
I have never stood in a state like this
I have no words to say what I feel
I fly like a bird
When you gently come near me
My heart flutters and yearns
Under your gaze
Forgetting myself, I keep thinking
I talk to myself every day
I love you with all my life
Losing my senses, I breathe
Ah… ah… ah… ah… ah…
Like a little baby,
Even love turns,
Disturbing sleep through the night
It becomes like handcuffs,
Every single minute,
Creeping slowly as if an entire age
My love, oh my love, inside my heart
I felt a secret turmoil
Just to tell you of my love,
I stayed alive, my girl…
Forgetting myself, I keep thinking
I talk to myself every day
I love you with all my life
Losing my senses, I breathe
Ah… like a raindrop
Whose form shatters in moments,
The moisture still remains with the soil
A leaf's journey may end
In the wind,
Yet its traces remain on the branch
My heart, you live within my heart
I came to show you that
Even if I am not by your side,
I can still see your love
Forgetting myself, I keep thinking
I talk to myself every day
I love you with all my life
Losing my senses, I breathe
I have never seen eyes like these
Female: I have no words to say what I feel
Male: Ah… my soul seems to slip away
Female: When you gently come near me

Forgetting myself, I keep thinking

Both: Losing my senses, I breathe

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song is a deeply expressive romantic track portraying the overwhelm of profound love. The lovers describe how the sight and proximity of each other induce feelings of ecstasy, agitation, and sheer devotion. Love is poetically compared to a child, handcuffs of time, and raindrops leaving moisture on the soil even after they disappear.
