Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song portrays a poignant transformation of feelings from intense aversion to deep love. The protagonist reflects on her emotional shift, realizing that her initial hatred towards her partner unexpectedly blossomed into affection and longing. She expresses how her past anger has turned into smiles and how her guarded personality yielded to vulnerability and shyness in his presence.
