Who is he? From where did this storm come?
Who is he, with scorching summer heat in both his eyes?
Who is he? Nobody knows...
He rushed in raging like fire,
Who... who is he?
Yet holding tenderness like dew in his heart,
Who... who is he?
What is the path of the wind?
Who can ever tell?
It drifts left... and right...
Crossing past yesterday,
He stepped into tomorrow.
Who is he... who is he...
His heart was once soft like a flower,
Now it has changed a little.
Like a sharp thorn, he scratches and strikes,
Something has gone wrong.
The girl's tearful eyes are filled with fear,
There is no shelter anywhere along the way.
What will happen now? The eyes only see
A shimmering mirage.
Is he a companion on the road, or a coming enemy?
What is this bond, and how will it end?
Is he a riddle without answers?
Who is he... who is he... who is he...
Who is he? From where did this storm come?
Who is he, with scorching summer heat in both his eyes?
Who is he? Nobody knows...
He rushed in raging like fire,
Who... who is he?
Yet holding tenderness like dew in his heart,
Who... who is he?
What is the path of the wind?
Who can ever tell?
It drifts left... and right...
Crossing past yesterday,
He stepped into tomorrow.
Who is he... who is he...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Yaaro Ivano' portrays an intense sense of mystery, conflict, and unpredictability surrounding a central character. He is described as a force of nature—at times soft and compassionate like dew or a flower, yet capable of turning fierce and destructive like fire, thorns, or a sudden storm. This dual nature creates tension and fear for the female protagonist, leaving her uncertain about whether he is a protective guide or a threatening antagonist.
