   「水の音がする」

   Literally, "I feel the sound of water".

   I knew that the verb する (to do) can be used to express a sensation, as in いい匂いがする = "There's a good smell", but this this the first time I see it applied to sounds.

     #ChatGPT approves this usage of がする, and claims that it would even apply to feeling pain: 痛みがする (itami ga suru).

     恋 = romance
     愛 = love
     対 = versus, opposite
     象 = image, shape

     Aggregating them:
     恋愛 (renai) = romantic love
     対象 (taishou) = target

     恋愛対象 (renai-taishou) = object of romantic interest
