Girl, oh girl,
You are killing me.
With eyes as sharp as a sword,
You cut me down again and again.
Like a butterfly,
You tie down a shark and strike it.
With eyes as sharp as a sword,
You cut me down again and again.
Like a butterfly,
You tie down a shark and strike it.
Claiming ownership of my heart,
You build a fort and shower me with love.
When you smile like a flash of lightning,
Both my eyes are dazzled.
Oh my, my heart beats relentlessly!
With eyes as sharp as a sword,
You cut me down again and again.
Like a butterfly,
You tie down a shark and strike it... ee ee,
Ee ee ee hey!
Hey, the wet fishing net drying in the sun
Stares at you intently.
All the crabs along the shore
Long to touch your feet.
Girl, oh girl,
Hey, the wet fishing net drying in the sun
Stares at you intently.
All the crabs along the shore
Long to touch your feet.
The waves rolling onto the shore
Leap and crash over and over.
I have never seen God,
But after seeing you, I believe.
I don't know what happened or why,
I really don't know.
With eyes as sharp as a sword,
You cut me down again and again.
This butterfly
Ties down a shark and strikes it.
Claiming ownership of my heart,
You build a fort and shower me with love.
When you lean in and gaze at me,
My very soul shivers with excitement.
Oh fragrant screw-pine flower,
Gather me up without spilling a bit.
Girl, oh girl,
You are killing me.
Female: My darling, oh my darling,
You are enchanting me.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic romantic song depicts a lover deeply enamored by his partner, using rich coastal and natural imagery to convey the intensity of his affection. He expresses how her sharp glances cut through him, hyperbolically comparing her gentle grace to a tiny butterfly overpowering a giant shark. Nature itself, including the shore's crabs, waves, and drying fishing nets, seems captivated by her presence. Towards the end, the female partner responds in kind, acknowledging her own enchanting effect on him.
