Hmm mm mm
Mm mm mm ha aa aa
Mm, some kind of magic, so beautiful,
is blooming so wonderfully.
Like the sky resting on the moon,
everything turns into moonlight.
Even the sound of bangles becomes music,
and you are that melody.
In the sound of your laughter, I find wings,
and you are my joy.
Drenched in the waves of longing,
will I open my heart in words?
Will I pour out my feelings like a flowing river?
Or will the waves hold me back, making me hide it inside?
If you just call my name,
I grow wings within.
Pinching my own cheek,
I smile in front of the mirror.
My life, oh my life... my life, my love, you are my every word!
My leaping heart finds shelter in you,
you and I are together, day after day.
I still want a little more and more,
as our days stretch on even longer.
My leaping heart finds shelter in you,
you and I are together, day after day.
I still want a little more and more,
as our days stretch on even longer.
My leaping heart finds shelter in you,
you and I are together, day after day.
I still want a little more and more,
as our days stretch on even longer.
Mm mm mm

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This poetic track portrays the delicate blooming of love and the quiet euphoria that accompanies it. The protagonist describes how mundane daily sounds—like the chiming of bangles or subtle laughter—turn into sweet music in the presence of their beloved. The lyrics capture the inner hesitation of wanting to reveal one's deep affection versus keeping it hidden inside, ultimately resolving into pure excitement when the beloved speaks their name.
