my companion.
You are the world I live in.

aren't you the moon that descended? Oh oh...
You are the life-giving nectar,
you are the fiery bird rising to life,
you are my breath blended with my soul...
You are the life-giving nectar,

The kiss you placed on my heart
falls upon me every day like raindrops.

even fire turns to cool snow, my love...

The lyrics compare love to delicate elements of nature such as blooming evening flowers, falling moonbeams, gentle rain, and life-giving nectar. The lovers marvel at how their existences have entwined completely, with one becoming the very atmosphere and land in which the other resides. In the climax of their expression, the intensity of their affection is so profound that even scorching fire transforms into soft, cool snow.
