My black cuckoo bird,
My smiling peacock,
She trapped me and I fell head over heels,
Now she runs away and vanishes into thin air!
Like the fierce, glaring sun,
Like a striking storm,
I blushed deep within my mind,
She comes searching for me,
And taps a rhythm in my head!
Truly made for me,
She fit into my life just right,
The sweet bliss that steals away my sleep,
She gave it to me like a precious gift.
An anchor that never slips,
She planted right in the center of my heart.
All by herself, completely,
She alone rules over me....
With a gaze as sharp as a spear,
You look at me and intimidate me!
Feeding me an unfamiliar high,
You completely bewitch me!
Slicing it spicy and sharp,
You dish out your love to me!
Reaching deep down to soothe the wound,
You taste sweet like healing medicine!
Oh girl.....
Hey, like an untamed bull,
As I walked around full of pride,
You collided with my eyes,
And knocked me right off my feet!
Hey, while unspoken desires sleep,
And I yearn for you like a useless coin,
Every day, the sound of your voice,
I keep hearing it and waking up!
I tried building a bridge,
Hoping to share what is in my heart,
But you blew it apart with a blast!
Morning or evening, I cannot tell,
I have not slept for a single moment,
You shattered my sleep, my dream girl!
Putting up a curtain between us,
As I search and search for you,
You keep running and hiding!
When I wear down exhausted like the night,
You shine a bright light on me!
Just like the hands of a clock,
You torment me and spin me around!
Putting on a bridle and guiding my path,
You keep calling me and leading me on!
With a gaze as sharp as a spear,
You look at me and intimidate me!
Feeding me an unfamiliar high,
You completely bewitch me!
Slicing it spicy and sharp,
You dish out your love to me!
Reaching deep down to soothe the wound,
You taste sweet like healing medicine!
Oh girl.....

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song is a energetic romantic track expressing the protagonist's deep fascination and sweet frustration with his beloved. He compares her striking beauty and playful nature to natural forces such as storms, sunshine, peacocks, and cuckoos. She has completely taken over his mind and heart, disrupting his sleep and keeping him captivated in a state of sweet intoxication. Throughout the track, he describes how she plays hide-and-seek with his feelings—sometimes teasingly intimidating him with her sharp glances like a spear, and other times offering comfort like a soothing potion. Despite the chaos she brings into his calm life, he surrenders happily to her charm and accepts her complete rule over his heart.
