Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song captures the intense grief and inner turmoil of a lover enduring the pain of separation. Rain, traditionally a symbol of love and romance, instead acts as a trigger that shatters his dreams and peace. He feels tormented by the memory of the woman who drenched his soul with love, comparing his emotional angst to a boiling fever and a rising storm.
