Into a dream that never fades,
You arrived like a poem.
On an unpainted canvas,
You are painting colours.
Every single day,
I need you to hold my hand.
For every moment that we live,
Even the clock sheds a tear.
When I am by your side,
What else could I ask for?
When I live held between your fingers,
Will all the pain along the way fade away?
Into a dream that never fades,
You arrived like a poem.
On an unpainted canvas,
You are painting colours.
Every single day,
I need you to hold my hand.
For every moment that we live,
Even the clock sheds a tear.
Everything that you do
Looks so beautiful to me.
To live my life with you,
Desires are stirred within me.
Even so, to accept your heart,
I do not feel ready.
Yet your memory in my heart,
I don't know why it remains.
Won't your shadow stretch out,
And won't my form merge with it?
Look into my eyes
And speak a word to me.
Male: To speak that language,
Find a new way, my girl.
When I am by your side,
What else could I ask for?
When I live held between your fingers,
Will all the pain along the way fade away?

The female protagonist expresses how her beloved's presence has transformed her life, metaphorically describing him as poetry in a dream and vivid color on a blank canvas. She speaks of finding solace in holding his hand, where all life's pain fades away, and how every shared moment feels so precious that even time itself seems moved. The song also explores gentle emotional hesitation and unspoken love, highlighting a wordless connection where eyes speak more than words, complemented by a comforting musical dialogue between the lovers.
