Beyond the translation

This song is a deeply passionate and romantic duet that explores the sensory and emotional heightened state of lovers in union.

Through vivid imagery—comparing physical touch to milk and sugar, and swelling emotions to a mountain waterfall—the lyrics capture how the couple loses all self-awareness when held in each other's arms, creating a universe where only their shared bliss exists.
