"You drive me mad, a face never forgotten,
Then every time I see you it makes my heart flutter. "
The singer is crazy about love, and has reached the point of no return! Her lover's "one face" makes her "unforgettable day and night", but she doesn't know his lover's "intention", so she can only "hope secretly every day", hoping that his lover will confess his love to her.
