ENGLISH TRANSLATION:


Limits

I’m lost in your storm

Being tossed around, but still I’m lucky

Nothing is certain in the swirling waters and wind, if it was I would bow my head to you

Happy to be thrown down, pulled and then shipwrecked on the shore

Drowning but where are you? Touched by you, yet I can’t see you

You are...my limit

You are...my limit

The sea has no end, my confusion is like that

Sometimes you let me drift away, sometimes you save me

Let me love as much as I want, tell me what have we got

Am I your cure or am I your disease?

You are...my limit

You are...my limit

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: Love isn't always what we see in movies, read in poems, or hear in songs. Sometimes it can be uncertain, unraveling, unnerving. But when it is like that, like being lost in a storm with no end, sometimes it is better than you can possibly imagine.
