Wrenching waves in my heart
Without ease of joy
Chorus: (Thrice)
O you've carried me away far from shores
O you've swamped and drowned me in your depths
In such limitless tides I guess shore is forever out of reach
No shores no limitations
Bottomless depths of water
Day and night summons me
alluringly beckoning
In such limitless tides I guess shore is forever out of reach
Chorus
In muddied waters you've launched your boat towards the heart of oceans
But that I launched my boat of life in your deep waters
Not even a single soul knows
In such limitless tides I guess shore is forever out of reach
Chorus
Shore and Sea face off each other gazing in longing
Day and night summons me
alluringly beckoning
In such limitless tides I guess shore is forever out of reach
No shores no limitations
Out of reach forevermore
And that one hundred thousand
years pass by
And that a hundred thousand years pass by
O no one has even noticed
In such limitless tides I guess shore is forever out of reach
Chorus
O you've carried me away far from shores
O you've swamped and drowned me in your depths
In such limitless tides I guess shore is forever out of reach
Second Version:
Runa Laila singer from Bangladesh croons heartbreakingly...
Also adding my own attempt at a translation.
Wrenching waves in my heart
Without ease of joy
Chorus: (Thrice)
O you've carried me away far from shores
O you've swamped and drowned me in your depths
In such limitless tides I guess shore is forever out of reach
No shores no limitations
Bottomless depths of water
Day and night summons me
alluringly beckoning
In such limitless tides I guess shore is forever out of reach
Chorus
In muddied waters you've launched your boat towards the heart of oceans
But that I launched my boat of life in your deep waters
Not even a single soul knows
In such limitless tides I guess shore is forever out of reach
Chorus
Shore and Sea face off each other gazing in longing
Day and night summons me
alluringly beckoning
In such limitless tides I guess shore is forever out of reach
No shores no limitations
Out of reach forevermore
And that one hundred thousand
years pass by
And that a hundred thousand years pass by
O no one has even noticed
In such limitless tides I guess shore is forever out of reach
Chorus
O you've carried me away far from shores
O you've swamped and drowned me in your depths
In such limitless tides I guess shore is forever out of reach
