Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses a deep emotional conversation between two lovers yearning for each other's presence and confession of love. The male protagonist speaks of the agony of solitude and the overwhelming emotion that 'kills' his heart, pleading with his beloved to reveal her feelings before time passes. The female protagonist responds with equal fervor, describing him as her breath and promising to heal his pain with a tender gaze. Together, they pledge their lives to each other, comparing love to both a precious gift and a pain worth bearing.
