Beyond the translation

Song interpretation

The song conveys the deep emotional awakening of a protagonist captivated by the gaze of the woman he loves. He describes how her glances touch his soul, bringing about an unrecognizable yet cherished change inside his heart. He marvels at how her presence makes him lose all awareness of the outside world and elevates his heartbeat, questioning if this captivating sensation is what people call love.
