Hmm mm mm hmm mm mmm
Hoo... hmm
Thinking only of you,
I nurtured my life.
Forgetting myself,
my heart has withered away.
Inside the pupil of my eye,
I locked you away.
Fearing it might hurt you,
I lost all my sleep.
Sprouting wings,
oh little girl,
star in a little skirt,
Inside the blanket
of this small heart,
you are an overflowing ocean.
In this bond without a name,
my soul wanders restlessly.
Thinking only of you,
I nurtured my life.
Forgetting myself,
my heart has withered away.
Inside my mind,
there is a sweet trembling;
why is there dizziness in my blood, girl?
Even a baby
resting in the womb has it—
I am the very beginning of love, girl.
Like a bubble riding a wave,
look at my little heart drifting.
If a boat strikes a bubble,
why must it burst in the sea?
Like the life within your body,
I will wander unseen, my girl.
Thinking only of you,
I nurtured my life.
Forgetting myself,
my heart has withered away.
Sprouting wings,
oh little girl,
star in a little skirt,
Inside the blanket
of this small heart,
you are an overflowing ocean.
In this bond without a name,
my soul wanders restlessly...
Mmm mm mm hmm mm mmm

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This poetic track expresses the profound, overwhelming experience of love and yearning. The protagonist describes how thoughts of his beloved have consumed his existence to the point where he forgets his own identity, loses sleep out of delicate concern for her, and feels his heart wearing thin under the weight of affection. He compares her to a winged angel and a star wrapped in traditional attire, acknowledging a deep emotional pain overflowing like a vast sea within a delicate heart. He reflects on love being an innate, elemental feeling present from the womb itself, picturing his heart as a fragile bubble on ocean waves. Ultimately, he vows to remain an intangible yet constant presence in her life, like the soul hidden within her body.
