A sweet longing fills my heart,
As I keep following you,
As I keep following you...
Ever since the day I saw you,
As I keep dreaming of flying,
As I keep dreaming of flying...
Shattering the sky
And the clouds,
Look, a moon
Has crashed right into me!
Deep inside my heart,
Building a nest,
A cuckoo
Has called out my name!
While the whole wide world
Kept throwing stones at me as they passed,
You were the only one
Who threw the first flower and went by.
A sweet longing fills my heart,
As I keep following you,
As I keep following you...
Ever since the day I saw you,
As I keep dreaming of flying,
As I keep dreaming of flying...
Shattering the sky
And the clouds,
Look, a moon
Has crashed right into me!
Deep inside my heart,
Building a nest,
A cuckoo
Has called out my name!
Only mocking and teasing looks
Were cast on me until today,
But placing a crown in my hands,
That angel walked away.
Joy is inside me, oh ho,
Such great happiness, ho oh,
Oh, high up into the skies,
My feet are climbing!
Shattering the sky
And the clouds,
Look, a moon
Has crashed right into me!
Deep inside my heart,
Building a nest,
A cuckoo
Has called out my name!
Even my own shadow
Never cared to walk beside me,
But you truly came to my side,
O jasmine that blossomed and passed by!
A wingless, ho oh,
Butterfly was I, oh ho!
Now, because of you, on me,
A hundred wings have grown!
Shattering the sky
And the clouds,
Look, a moon
Has crashed right into me!
Deep inside my heart,
Building a nest,
A cuckoo
Has called out my name!
While the whole wide world
Kept throwing stones at me as they passed,
You were the only one
Who threw the first flower and went by.
A sweet longing fills my heart,
As I keep following you,
As I keep following you...
Ever since the day I saw you,
As I keep dreaming of flying,
As I keep dreaming of flying...
Shattering the sky
And the clouds,
Look, a moon
Has crashed right into me!
Deep inside my heart,
Building a nest,
A cuckoo
Has called out my name!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song expresses the overwhelming joy and emotional transformation of a man who feels rejected by society until he experiences the gentle affection of his beloved. While the rest of the world looked down on him with ridicule and hostility ('throwing stones'), she showed him tenderness ('throwing a flower'), instantly crowning his self-worth and elevating his spirit. Her love induces a state of euphoria, symbolized by a cuckoo nesting in his heart, a moon descending upon him, and wings sprouting on his back so he can fly high above the sky. The lyrics capture the ecstatic feeling of being validated and loved for the very first time.
