Turning into a cloud,
I ran all across the sky.
With an unquenched thirst, holding out my hands,
I searched for water.
She worked some kind of magic on me,
leaving an unending drizzle over me.
Whenever you walk away,
I find my gaze following behind you.
From now on, in the home where you live,
I long to live too.
Yesterday, along my path,
the songbird that never appeared,
today, all across the garden,
showers joyful melodies.
The breeze is blowing,
whispering right by my ear.
A gentle drizzle comes
and soaks deep into the earth.
Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... yeah... yeah...
Oh, I went looking for a rainbow,
and every day of the week
is painted in all seven colors.
Oh, I looked for just one song,
and hundreds come rushing over me.
Can unspoken silences carry a message?
Can a gentle breeze reach home without blowing?
What words can I find to explain myself?
All the poems I never wrote are with you.
If you walk, I will follow behind like a shadow.
Yesterday, along my path,
the songbird that never appeared,
today, all across the garden,
showers joyful melodies... yeah...
The breeze is blowing,
whispering right by my ear.
A gentle drizzle comes
and soaks deep into the earth.
Oh... oh... oh... yeah... yeah... oh... oh... oh...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This poetic track captures the protagonist's profound emotional transformation upon falling in love. Initially feeling like a dry, wandering cloud searching aimlessly for rain, his world changes completely once his beloved enters his life. The imagery shifts to lush, vibrant nature where rain seeps deeply into the earth, week days turn into rainbow colors, and unspoken silences carry deep meaning.
