Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song portrays the subtle, profound nature of love that resides within two souls, comparing love's hidden presence to the sweet fragrance trapped inside a blossom. It highlights a deep spiritual and physical connection where even the lovers' breaths interact silently in the breeze, generating a fiery warmth of romance inside both of them. The lyrics beautifully capture the sweet obsession of being in love, where thoughts of the beloved keep one awake at night, and dreaming of them makes awakening entirely unwanted.
