Sharp as a palm leaf, sharp as a palm leaf,
Is your trimmed moustache.
My breath catches, my heart skips,
What can I even say?
In a muddy pond,
Like a restless fish,
I blink in helpless confusion,
All alone, all alone.
Caught by your two eyes, something came over me...
Sharp as a palm leaf, sharp as a palm leaf,
Is your trimmed moustache.
My breath catches, my heart skips,
What can I even say?
My heart that wandered aimlessly
Has melted for the very first time.
You have become my whole world.
Having lost its address,
A letter has safely reached where it belongs.
The auspicious wedding date is set.
Oh you magician,
You clever trickster, you charmer!
Closing my eyes upon your chest,
Isn't that joy enough?
Without ever fading away,
Will this life continue forever?
Sharp as a palm leaf, sharp as a palm leaf,
Is your trimmed moustache.
My breath catches, my heart skips,
What can I even say?
...
Like a pot boiling on a firewood stove,
I became the rice inside your heart,
Cooking soft and melting away.
As if he swallowed a mountain and kept it inside,
He gave me a dizzying, proud look.
You are truly a thief!
If you ask me to hand over all my wealth,
I will gladly give it away.
But if anyone asks for you, I swear,
I could never bear to part with you.
Just living this life
Beside you is all I need.
Sharp as a palm leaf, sharp as a palm leaf,
Is your trimmed moustache.
My breath catches, my heart skips,
What can I even say?
In a muddy pond,
Like a restless fish,
I blink in helpless confusion,
All alone, all alone.
Caught by your two eyes, something came over me...

Overall song meaning
