OCEAN LOVE, WHAT HAPPENED?

Ocean love shapes the Fates like footsteps in the snow,

Ocean love - wonder of the world! What happened?

How do you not paint the horizon blue,

With creatures on your waves,

Ruining the sandcastles as it falls —

Ocean love ran dry when the sun fell into it.

2.

Ocean love, oh ocean love,

What happened, ocean love?

You who swallowed ships of steel, of wood, of earth,

Drowned gods, drowned worlds –

Here comes the fiery sun!

Ocean love ran dry when the sun fell into it.
