Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song fragment captures the exhilaration and dizzying euphoria of falling deeply in love at first sight. The protagonist describes how gazing upon his beloved—whom he compares to a pure, golden statue—makes his heart leap with excitement and skip beats. Her brief glance ignites passion in him as quickly as fire catching dry cotton, making him feel weightless as though he is floating above the clouds.
