Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This romantic song expresses the overwhelming feelings of love and yearning brought on by the mere presence or thought of a beloved. The protagonist feels a sweet, physical reaction like a fever when the breeze carries the lover's fragrance, and nature itself seems to align with this mood through gentle drizzling rains. The protagonist describes how their gaze compulsively follows the beloved along their path, and how the lover's sweet, gentle voice surpasses even the rhythmic beauty of rain.
