All alone in the June and July evenings,
Are you a Pandora doll, honey?
Come join me as my companion,
Is it right to delay any longer?
My heart melts like a candle,
Like a fish caught on a hook,
My life is trapped, do not bait me!
Who are you, who are you, my love?
Come and stand before me, girl,
Take a step or two forward,
And give me an answer, my darling!
Who are you, who are you?
Come and stand before me, girl,
Take a step or two,
And give me an answer, my darling!
Oh no, no, no,
Why this cameo appearance of love?
Is it real or a lie?
What trick or magic spell did you cast?
Oh no, no, no,
Why this cameo appearance of love?
Is it real or a lie?
What trick or magic spell did you cast?
Did you cast it, did you?
All through the night,
In the time I spent all alone,
You appeared in my dream,
And stepped in like poetry—what magic!
Like a light drizzle falling on desert sands,
Your fragrance blooms along every path.
Hey yeah,
When is the time to blossom,
My sweet jasmine? Hey,
Like a bee hovering on the hill,
I circled around and was utterly enchanted!
Who are you, who are you, my love?
Come and stand before me, girl,
Take a step or two forward,
And give me an answer, my darling!
Who are you, who are you?
Come and stand before me, girl,
Take a step or two,
And give me an answer, my darling!
Oh no, no, no,
Why this cameo appearance of love?
Is it real or a lie?
What trick or magic spell did you cast?
Oh no, no, no,
Why this cameo appearance of love?
Is it real or a lie?
What trick or magic spell did you cast?
Did you cast it, did you?
What trick or magic spell did you cast?
Did you cast it, did you?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song depicts the protagonist's intense fascination and agonizing yearning for a mysterious love interest. He describes how her brief, elusive presence feels like a magical 'cameo' appearance that leaves him captivated and confused about whether her feelings are real or an illusion. Using vivid sensory imagery—such as a melting candle, a fish hooked on a fishing line, and a drizzle refreshing parched desert sand—he conveys both the pain and sweet enchantment of falling in love. Throughout the track, he repeatedly pleads with her to step forward and reveal her true feelings, asking who she really is and why she has cast such a spell over his heart. The romantic tension escalates as he reflects on how her memory turns his lonely nights into poetry, leaving him completely bewitched like a honeybee caught in monsoon rain.
