In your eyes, in your lightning-bright eyes,
Striking right through me,
Girl, you look at me.
In your breath, in the breeze of your breath,
The moment you touch me,
My darling, you sweep me off my feet.
Just to be near you,
My heart longs every day.
To be united with you,
My soul aches with longing.
Enchanted by your beauty,
My eyes refuse to blink.
To follow you like a shadow,
My heart yearns and pines.
As this love in my eyes
Grows dazed and dissolves away,
You are the one pulling at my soul.
As this love in my dreams
Blends in every single day,
You are the one standing right before me.
Never in the past
Have my days felt like this.
Because of you, everything has changed here.
Me with you and you with me,
There is nothing else I need.
Love has arrived
And carried my gaze away.
Like a pouring rain
Coming to soak me completely,
Just one glance of yours is enough.
My heart aches with restless longing
For me to draw closer to you.
To embrace my heart like a riverbank,
Just your words are enough.
My soul melts away
To rest within your shadow.
As this love in my eyes
Grows dazed and dissolves away,
You are the one pulling at my soul.
As this love in my dreams
Blends in every single day,
You are the one standing right before me.
Strange feelings take over me,
Where am I heading?
Just like a drifting kite,
I stumble and sway along.
I live day by day,
Only to be united with you.
As my love melts endlessly,
Aching and longing,
To capture my whole heart.
As this love in my eyes
Grows dazed and dissolves away,
You are the one pulling at my soul.
As this love in my dreams
Blends in every single day,
You are the one standing right before me.

The song is a passionate expression of romantic obsession and intoxication.

He compares his state to a kite faltering in the wind, entirely dependent on her glances and words for comfort. Throughout the track, the feeling of falling deeply into love is presented as a dreamlike state where reality shifts, and nothing else matters besides being united with his love.
