Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song is a romantic expression of a young man captivated by his beloved. He expresses how a single gaze from her eyes alters his heart, flows into his very soul, and makes him lose track of the world around him. He wonders if he prayed his whole life to experience such love and expresses a desire to be reborn just to be united with her.
