Love
To see your moon-like face every day,
I have a million desires.
Won't you bloom with love,
reaching my doorstep?
As ages, moments, and seconds pass,
and half of my lifetime's
days drift away,
O moon, you alone are my entire time now.
Ho oh ho
All my mornings,
right beside you,
Ho oh ho
wake up with a lazy stretch.
Ho oho
All my evenings,
upon your lap,
Ho oh ho
lie down peacefully.
If you pull away once more,
my beautiful one,
the next second it will shatter—
my heart.
Even when it breaks into pieces,
my love,
to gather only you,
it begs right away.
Come close to me just once,
my beautiful one,
the next second it will bloom—
my heart.
Whenever it blooms,
my love,
to hold only you,
it asks, and so...
The seaside poem
of the waves that reach the shore,
to learn it by heart,
in our gaze searching for lines,
in the moments our fingers entwine,
in our eyes that converse,
even the silence of our lips
turns into words.
In a rented love,
this life we live is enough;
bloom as my very own, my love,
come to me forever, ho-oh-oh...
If you pull away once more,
my beautiful one,
the next second it will shatter—
my heart.
Even when it breaks into pieces,
my love,
to gather only you,
it begs right away.
Come close to me just once,
my beautiful one,
the next second it will bloom—
my heart.
Whenever it blooms,
my love,
to hold only you...
If you pull away once more,
my beautiful one,
the next second it will shatter—
my heart.
Even when it breaks into pieces,
my love,
to gather only you,
it begs right away.
Come close to me just once,
my beautiful one,
the next second it will bloom—
my heart.
Whenever it blooms,
my love,
to hold only you,
it asks, and so...
Love...
In a tent-house made of a small blanket,
my love, every day we can
have our playful lovers' battles.
Love...
An address written on no paper,
let us swim towards it together.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is an intimate, deeply emotional declaration of love that captures the intense connection between two soulmates. The protagonist conveys how their life, time, and emotional state revolve entirely around their lover. Distance causes the protagonist's heart to shatter, whereas the partner's physical and emotional proximity instantly revitalizes them, making their heart bloom like a flower. Through poetic imagery of seaside waves, quiet glances, and cozy blanket tents, the song illustrates how true intimacy transcends spoken words, turning even silence into meaningful dialogue. The singer expresses complete contentment in living within this shared sanctuary of love.
