Across the entire sky
The clouds shower love
Even in the breeze
The fragrance of love drifts
As a dream in my eyes
Do not fade away
Will you stay without disappearing?
Do not fade away, without disappearing, ah...
Tell me the way to your heart
Give me an answer
Will you leave without coming close?
Give me an answer, without coming close, ah...
Lips may tell lies
Even if you speak them
Your eyelids will speak the truth
Your glance is enough
My heart is faltering
I need only you, my peacock feather
I am losing my way a little
Yet you are my path
Why do you kill me with your eyes?
You stand inside my heart like a stone
Why do you kill me with your eyes?
You stand inside my heart like a stone
Searching for you like a river seeking the sea
Even when the river reaches its goal, why am I still here?
I am a dewdrop, and you are the branch
Love blows like a breeze along the shore...
Why do you kill me with your eyes?
You stand inside my heart like a stone
Why do you kill me with your eyes?
You stand inside my heart like a stone
Searching for you like a river seeking the sea
Even when the river reaches its goal, why am I still here?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song explores the bittersweet feelings of love, longing, and emotional surrender. The narrator depicts love as an all-encompassing force present in nature, from breeze and rain to dewdrops on branches. While the beloved appears emotionally distant or unyielding like a stone, their gaze alone holds immense power over the narrator's heart, acting as both a delight and a sweet torture.
