You, just you are enough for me!
Ah, I don't even need eyesight!
If you lead the way,
my life will truly live!
Come, come, gentle drizzle,
there is no desert left in this life anymore...
In this boundless love,
my heart finds peaceful rest!
A flower that had lived without light
has reached the shores of brightness!
Without a single question,
upon your chest,
may I lean a little?
I have made you
my very eyes!
Everything I see
is love...
Every day is a festive celebration,
with love, pure love,
shall I show it to you in love?
In the breath we let out,
our bodies turn to fire.
The falling sweat
becomes our bed here.
Deep silence itself
is the music here.
What else could
my heart ever ask for?
Going beyond the body,
the passion that rises—
ah, can even
the vast sky hold it?
This is a sweet exhaustion
born of longing;
his love itself
is a sweet sin...
You, just you are enough for me!
Ah, I don't even need eyesight!
If you lead the way,
my life will truly live!
O moment of poetry!
O sweet moment...
O great blessing,
come, come, come, come, come...
O delightful path!
Male: O cure for all pain...
Female: O spark of craving...
Male: O embrace like gentle mist...
Female: O brand new poem...
Male: Everything feels right...
Female: Come, come, come, come, come...
Millions of stars
may fill the sky,
but my only star
is you...
In the arms of love
that gather me close,
I bloom with deep affection...
In a life where no one helped,
today,
with the strength of an elephant,
you arrived...
Even though my shyness lingers,
my love,
I lean against your chest...
In the breath we let out,
our bodies turn to fire.
The falling sweat
becomes our bed here.
Deep silence itself
is the music here.
What else could
my heart ever ask for?
O companion of lifetimes...
O spring of sweet affection...
O fruit of all destiny...
Come, come, come, come, come...
Forgetting the world,
Female: forgetting every thought,
Male: merging into you,
Female: born anew every second,
Male: filled with endless wonder,
Female: filled with endless wonder,
Male: come, come, come, come, come...
Female: come, come, come, come, come...
Looking for a moment
when no one is around,
you gently tilt me back
in your love...
A womanhood within me
that even I had never felt,
love brings to life
and reveals right here...
Like a hidden tear
unseen by any eye,
I lived locked away
deep inside myself!
Like a shining, steady
star in the night,
my whole life
has become bright...
In the breath we let out,
our bodies turn to fire.
The falling sweat
becomes our bed here.
Deep silence itself
is the music here.
What else could
my heart ever ask for?
Going beyond the body,
the passion that rises—
ah, can even
the vast sky hold it?
This is a sweet exhaustion
born of longing;
his love itself
is a sweet sin...
You, just you are enough for me!
Ah, I don't even need eyesight!
If you lead the way,
my life will truly live!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This soulful track expresses the profound depth of love, blind trust, and intense intimacy between two soulmates. The lyrics invoke auspicious wedding imagery of Rama and Sita, evolving into a deeply emotional and sensory confession. The protagonist speaks of how love acts as a guiding light for someone living in darkness, making physical sight redundant because love itself becomes the vision guiding life's journey.
