Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This lighthearted and upbeat romantic song expresses a lover's relentless devotion and enthusiasm regardless of how his beloved reacts to him. Whether she looks at him, ignores him, smiles, gets angry, or speaks to him, he vows to continuously adore, look at, and think of her. He highlights that while youth lasts, they should embrace love without waiting until old age. The lyrics use playful imagery such as turning the jingling sound of her anklets into a grand symphony and painting her portrait to break a Guinness World Record. Ultimately, the protagonist declares that while Valentine's Day occurs once a year for everyone else, every day of the year feels like Valentine's Day for the two of them.
