Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song portrays the overwhelming, intoxicating sensation of falling deeply in love. The lyrics express how the presence of the beloved renders one speechless, makes the heart feel weightless like wind drenched in rain, and evokes a feeling of growing wings to fly. Love is described as a force that flows like an overflowing river and consumes the protagonist like cotton in fire, bringing both intense joy and a sweet, tender pain.
