Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song is a cheeky, intimate expression of a young woman's affection towards her partner. She playfully addresses him as a 'thief' and a 'rough guy,' teasing him about his dual personality—seeming loving at first glance yet mischievous up close. Through vivid visual imagery, she sings about stolen glances between their eyes, the yearning for physical warmth such as holding hands, and how his presence deeply impacts her emotions.
