Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song is an emotional expression of heartache, yearning, and deep affection for a lost love. The protagonist feels completely lost in grief, describing his days spent endlessly searching for his beloved. Memories of their simple moments together weigh heavily on his heart, making him question whether love's sweet memories have turned into a painful curse. He begs her to return and save him from drowning in his tears, promising that even death cannot erase his love for her.
