Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Heyne's song DALLA are about the feeling of being completely transformed by falling in love with someone. The first verse talks about how everything seems different now that the singer has met this person, emphasizing how even other people she talks to seem like different individuals. She says her head is all over the place, but she knows the person she's in love with is beautiful and that she loves them. The second verse talks about how every day feels different now that she's in love, and how the person she's fallen for is the only one who can make her feel whole. She sings about how she feels like she's enchanted and under a spell by this person, and how she wants to spend every moment thinking about them.

The chorus repeats the phrase "saranghae," which means "I love you" in Korean, three times, emphasizing the depth of her feelings for this person. She talks about how the world seems to change when she's with them, and how she's grateful for this person who has made her life so much more meaningful. The bridge brings in a new element with the mention of a man who has given the singer a gift, describing him as someone who is as beautiful as the world he's given her. Ultimately, the song is about the transformative power of love and the profound change it can bring to one's life.
