Don't say a word,
it is all because of me,
that is what I too
have come to realize.
As if I were a stranger,
if you look at me,
my very soul,
I see it tear in two.
The gentle cloud of you
sheds tears, struck by my lightning.
Leaving the river's path,
the stream has wandered away.
It is my own mistake that kills me,
oh, my girl.
Don't say a word,
it is all because of me,
that is what I too
have come to realize.
As if I were a stranger,
if you look at me,
my very soul,
I see it tear in two.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This emotional song depicts a protagonist overwhelmed by regret and remorse after causing distress in his relationship. Recognizing that he is entirely to blame for the rift, he admits that his own mistakes are tormenting him. The pain becomes unbearable when the person he loves treats him like a stranger, making him feel as though his very soul has been severed in two. Using poetic nature metaphors—such as clouds weeping tears upon encountering lightning and a stream wandering off its natural course—the song conveys a sense of tragic disruption, deep melancholy, and the heartbreaking realization of unfixable mistakes.
