Why, oh why, my girl?
Drifting in the wind
like a piece of paper,
to go so far away,
why did it have to happen?
Appearing like a mirage,
my love, I too,
believing it was real,
drew close in faith,
but it was all in vain.
Wow oh... (x4)
Why, oh why, my girl?
Drifting in the wind
like a piece of paper,
to go so far away,
why did it have to happen?
Appearing like a mirage,
my love, I too,
believing it was real,
drew close in faith,
but it was all in vain.
Two eyes are not enough,
and to weep, millions of eyes
I do not possess.
From the eye, the eyelid
is distant today.
From the heart, memory
is distant today.
From the body, life
has drifted far away today.
Upon the branch,
a pair of flowers bloomed;
if one of them, by a storm,
falls down to the ground,
can they ever reunite again?
Where I leaned on your shoulder,
where is that love now?
When our hands held each other,
where is that warmth now?
Built just for the two of us,
where is that world now?
Right before my eyes,
where did it all vanish?
However far the sky reaches,
can the clouds not go
all that way, my girl?
Hurting and embracing—
when we realize it is all love,
that love will never break.
Alongside your breath in the air,
I longed to live.
What else can I say?
Why has everything changed today?
That the wind will just blow away—
this truth,
I did not understand back then.
Has my own breath today
drifted far away too?
All the moments I lived
together with you,
just like glass,
have shattered to pieces.
All the memories we gathered
together,
one by one before me,
appeared clearly.
If everything we wished for
came our way,
the heart would never
feel any pain.
If we liked everything we got,
the eyes would never
learn how to cry.
Is my love
merely my anger?
Is your love
merely your silence?
Without even knowing this,
look how we remain!
If I just say
one single word,
and if you say
one word in return,
everything will completely
turn around, so speak to me!
Why, oh why, my girl?
Drifting in the wind
like a piece of paper,
to go so far away,
why did it have to happen?
Appearing like a mirage,
my love, I too,
believing it was real,
drew close in faith,
but it was all in vain.
Two eyes are not enough,
and to weep, millions of eyes
I do not possess.
From the eye, the eyelid
is distant today.
From the heart, memory
is distant today.
From the body, life
has drifted far away today.
Upon the branch,
a pair of flowers bloomed;
if one of them, by a storm,
falls down to the ground,
can they ever reunite again?

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This emotional track captures the profound grief and disillusionment of a lover navigating separation and misunderstanding. The protagonist compares his fragile connection to a piece of paper tossed by the wind or a mirage that disappears upon approaching it. He laments how intimate memories—built shoulder to shoulder—have vanished like shattered glass, leaving a deep distance between his body and soul.
