With a side glance of your eye,
you captivate me.
The silence beyond words
becomes a language of its own.
You're a sharp flash of lightning, girl,
stay close beside me.
Along this path I look upon,
every second melts away... ooh.
Like the drizzle coming through the window,
don't hesitate to drench me.
Don't just come within arm's reach and leave;
don't tease me.
Constantly thinking of you,
I spent my days,
and the entire world,
I forgot.
To my heart's content,
the moment I looked at you,
I fell apart and lost myself,
all on my own.
Hey, you ate me up like candy,
why did you mumble the truth?
You hide everything without saying a word,
speaking only with your eyes;
don't steal all the words away.
"Who is he?"
my heart would ask,
and I'd say, "He is the one."
There's no one else for me but you,
so come to me, my girl.
With a side glance of your eye,
you captivate me.
In your gazing eyes,
I melted away.
Just to share all my thoughts,
I leaned my head on your shoulder.
Even when all the words run out,
the stories we share never end.
Today, when I look in the mirror,
I see you standing behind me.
Won't this moment last forever?
You fill my thoughts, my darling.
It hasn't been like this for long,
but all this change
is because of you, girl... hey.
Even for a little while,
don't tell me
to go away from you, girl.
Like a song heard a hundred times,
what if you keep playing in my memory?
I haven't closed my eyes
ever since you looked at me.
No one like you
has ever struck my heart like this.
You who pushed me into your dimple,
you smile and captivate me,
leaving me intoxicated.
In this moment of love,
you're the angel who came looking for me!
With a side glance of your eye,
you captivate me.
The silence beyond words
becomes a language of its own.
The drizzle coming through the window,
don't hesitate to drench me.
Don't just come within arm's reach and leave;
don't tease me.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song from 'Cold Call' (2025) is an intimate, romantic duet expressing the profound and intoxicating experience of falling in love. The lyrics trace the internal emotional shifts of two lovers who find themselves mesmerized by unspoken gazes, subtle gestures, and shared moments of vulnerability.

Throughout the track, both voices exchange playfulness and deep affection. The protagonist expresses how their world has transformed, rendering them blissfully lost in memories of their beloved. From resting a head on a shoulder to seeing the lover's reflection in mirrors, the song captures the essence of romantic obsession and the sweet agony of wanting time to stand still.
