With whom, oh with whom,
should I share my love story?
With you, only with you,
how do I even begin to speak?
Choked of breath, lost for speech,
words struggle to come out.
The moment I look at you,
every single one of them
just falls dead and silent.
For you to say just one word,
my heart longs to hear.
The moment it catches sight of you,
why does it get so restless?
Like a little chick trapped
inside a coop, here I lie helpless.
My five-coloured parrot,
I carry you deep inside my heart.
Feeling I had no family of my own,
I yearned and suffered in pain.
Only after seeing you
did I finally sleep and wake in peace.
Hearing my name
spoken by you, I loved it so much.
Only in front of you, girl,
did I ever smile a true smile.
What lies hidden inside your heart,
I just don't know how to read.
The subtle hints in the words you say,
I cannot understand at all.
Like a fish flopping on dry ground,
I suffer helplessly before you.
Couldn't you have slapped me hard and told me
why you walked away from me, girl?
With whom, oh with whom,
should I share my love story?
With you, only with you,
how do I even begin to speak?

Beyond the translation

This song expresses the deep emotional turmoil, innocence, and longing of a protagonist who feels utterly overwhelmed by love. He reflects on his lonely past and how the heroine brought life, warmth, and meaning back into his existence. Yet, he finds himself speechlessly captivated and confused by her subtle signals, feeling as helpless as a caged bird or a fish out of water when faced with emotional distance.
