Beyond the translation

Song interpretation

This upbeat romantic song expresses the intense feelings of a lover who is completely mesmerized by his beloved. He describes how her presence lightens his heart like cotton and intoxicatedly sways his mind. He marvels at her beauty—her pearl-like teeth and round eyes—declaring that even the moon would swoon over her beauty, and poetically offers all his wealth just to win her affection. Expressing a deep emotional connection, he yearns to protect and stay close to her like an eyelash protecting an eye, finding every aspect of life, dream, and breath intertwined with love for her.
