Like my precious darling,
there is no god in this world.
Separated from you,
I do not know if I can survive.
Leaving me behind,
why did you go so far away, my girl?
Only your memories
keep searching for me every day.
For me to live,
like you,
there is no loved one in this world.
My daughter, oh my daughter,
why did you leave me?
Why did you go away?
My daughter, oh my daughter,
why did you leave me?
Why did you go away... my life?
There is no sound inside my heart,
my very identity stumbles.
Like a fading moon, I have dissolved because of you.
There is no sound inside my heart,
my very identity stumbles.
Like a fading moon, I have dissolved because of you.
Like you, like you,
there is no one else.
If we are apart even for a moment,
my heart cannot bear it.
Without knowing which way to go,
I suffer all alone.
For me to live,
like you,
there is no loved one in this world.
My daughter, oh my daughter,
why did you leave me?
Why did you go away?
My daughter, oh my daughter,
why did you leave me?
Why did you go away... my daughter?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This poignant track portrays the agonizing grief and anguish of a father who has been separated from his cherished daughter. He regards her as his divine blessing and the most irreplaceable bond in his life. Without her presence, his world collapses, leaving his heart silent, his identity shattered, and his soul metaphorically fading away like a waning moon.
