Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song is a passionate romantic declaration where the lover addresses his beloved as 'Isabella' and compares her beauty to the radiant July moon, a finely carved statue, and precious rising gold. He expresses his unstoppable urge to reach her, asserting that just as no one can stop the wind or rain, no guard or obstacle can keep him away from her love. He vows to bypass all societal watchfulness to be by her side.
