Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song captures the overwhelming joy, wonder, and blissful confusion of falling deeply in love. The protagonist expresses that having her beloved close to her is the purest form of poetry and holiness. She feels an uncontainable happiness that makes her heart flutter like a flower in the breeze and her shyness bloom near her eyes. She questions whether this ethereal state is a dream or reality, ultimately deciding that seeking logical answers is unnecessary when love feels as expansive as the sky encompassing rain, sunshine, and rainbows.
