Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song captures the overwhelming, intoxicating sensation of falling head over heels in love. The female protagonist expresses how her beloved's presence and thoughts drive her mad, turning her world upside down. She describes feeling weightless, floating in the air, and being completely captivated by his charm, fragrance, and playful teasing. Through vivid expressions of affection and yearning, she confesses her deep desire to be close to him, rest on his shoulders, and stay connected forever. The playful trouble he causes and the sweetness of his memory make every moment without him feel like an eternity, leaving her completely transformed and enamored.
