Unpacific Ocean

History had nothing for the world
except war 
Nothing for my lover
Except darkness
But for me
it was an unfinished war
Killing me in darkness 
An embrace that each time I squeezed 
beat me
with faster beats

اقیانوس نا ارام

اقیانوس نا ارام

تاریخ برای دنیا 
چیزی جز جنگ نداشت
برای معشوقم 
چیزی جز تاریکی
برای من اما 
جنگ نیمه کاره ای بود 
که می کشت مرا در تاریکی
آغوشی که هر بار فشردمش 
با ضربان تندتری 
ضربه زد
Close

Unpacific Ocean

History had nothing for the world
except war 
Nothing for my lover
Except darkness
But for me
it was an unfinished war
Killing me in darkness 
An embrace that each time I squeezed 
beat me
with faster beats

Unpacific Ocean

History had nothing for the world
except war 
Nothing for my lover
Except darkness
But for me
it was an unfinished war
Killing me in darkness 
An embrace that each time I squeezed 
beat me
with faster beats
