Along the path where my youth led,
I let my gaze wander.
From the day I first saw him,
I let my heart dance with joy.
Along the path where my youth led,
I let my gaze wander.
From the day I first saw him,
I let my heart dance with joy.
The play called love,
I had never staged before through my eyes.
The sweet face of the one who taught it to me,
this young girl's heart can never forget.
Along the path where my youth led,
I let my gaze wander.
From the day I first saw him,
I let my heart dance with joy.
With a single smile upon his lips,
he measured the depth of my heart.
With a single smile upon his lips,
he measured the depth of my heart.
In the many dreams that visited at night,
my beloved grew and filled my soul.
In the many dreams that visited at night,
my beloved grew and filled my soul.
The youthful life that belonged to me alone,
he asked for himself.
Unable to say no,
I gave myself to him.
I gave myself to him.
Along the path where my youth led,
I let my gaze wander.
From the day I first saw him,
I let my heart dance with joy.
Free of any burden on my slender waist,
I used to walk along my own way.
With no confusion in my childlike mind,
I spent my days in peace.
Untouched even by the evening breeze,
I lived like a fresh flower.
Yet the moment that king of mine arrived,
why did I fall into his lap?
Why did I fall into his lap?
Aaha... oho... mmm... la la la la la...
Along the path where my youth led,
I let my gaze wander.
From the day I first saw him,
I let my heart dance with joy.
I let my heart dance with joy.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This classic romantic track captures a young woman's poetic reflections on falling in love and surrendering her heart to her beloved. She reminisces about her carefree, innocent past—a life as unburdened as a slender creeper and as untouched as a flower oblivious to the evening breeze. Everything changes when her beloved enters her life; his gentle smile and subtle charm captivate her completely, turning her nightly dreams into a sanctuary of love. Unable to resist his irresistible charm, she willingly gives away her youth and devotion. The lyric beautifully balances innocent hesitation with profound emotional surrender, painting love as a captivating drama taught by her king.
