Grafa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
сякаш страх ни е, да сме себе си,
между тези стени от лед.
Уморени от чувства, дните ни се изплъзват,
сякаш вярваш ми, но ще можем ли да погледнем пак напред.
Може би аз, може би ти,
ще решиш да продължим или да спрем,
Може би аз, може би ти,
ще решиш да замълчим,
да разберем, няма ли с теб какво да си кажем.
Уморени от мисли избледнели в мечтите ни,
сякаш бягаме, но пак стигаме с теб до тези стени от лед.
Ранени от чувства дните ни се изплъзват,
сякаш искаш ме, но далечни сме - ще погледнем ли пак напред?
Може би аз, може би ти,
ще решиш да продължим или да спрем,
няма ли с теб какво да си кажем?
Може би аз, може би ти,
ще решиш да замълчим,
да разберем, няма ли с теб какво да си кажем.
Дали държим достатъчно един на друг или неизбежно е.
Дали грешим, че заедно отново тук сме и невъзможно е.
Може би аз, може би ти,
ще решиш да продължим или да спрем,
няма ли с теб какво да си кажем?
Може би аз, може би ти,
ще решиш да замълчим,
да разберем, няма ли с теб какво да си кажем. (2)
The lyrics of Може би аз, може би ти by Grafa depict the struggles of a relationship where hurtful words have been spoken repeatedly, causing fear and a sense of detachment between the two partners. They feel stuck between the frozen walls of their emotions and are tired of it all, uncertain whether they should move forward or stop and address the issues at hand. The song portrays the feelings of uncertainty, doubt, and vulnerability that arise in relationships when communication breaks down.
The chorus of the song speaks of the dilemma they face as to whether they should continue their relationship or end it, as they are unsure if there is anything left to say and resolve their problems. The verses describe their emotional exhaustion and how they feel like they are running away from their thoughts and dreams but always ending up back where they started. The bridge portrays the couple grappling with the question of whether they are holding onto the relationship because they truly care about each other or if it is merely an inevitable outcome that they keep coming back to each other despite everything.
Overall, the song is a poignant portrayal of the complexities of relationships and the importance of open communication and honesty to sustain them.

Наранени от думи много пъти повторени,
We are hurt by words repeated many times, as if we are afraid to be ourselves
сякаш страх ни е, да сме себе си,
It's as if we are scared to be ourselves
между тези стени от лед.
We are stuck between these walls of ice
Уморени от чувства, дните ни се изплъзват,
Our days slip away from us, exhausted by emotions
сякаш вярваш ми, но ще можем ли да погледнем пак напред.
It's as if you believe me, but can we look ahead again?
Може би аз, може би ти,
Maybe it's me, maybe it's you
ще решиш да продължим или да спрем,
Will you decide whether we continue or stop?
няма ли с теб какво да си кажем?
Is there nothing left for us to say to each other?
Уморени от мисли избледнели в мечтите ни,
Our thoughts fade into our dreams, exhausted
сякаш бягаме, но пак стигаме с теб до тези стени от лед.
It's as if we are running, but we always end up at these walls of ice with you
Ранени от чувства дните ни се изплъзват,
Our days slip away from us, wounded by emotions
сякаш искаш ме, но далечни сме - ще погледнем ли пак напред?
It's as if you want me, but we are distant - can we look ahead again?
Дали държим достатъчно един на друг или неизбежно е.
Do we hold onto each other enough or is it inevitable?
Дали грешим, че заедно отново тук сме и невъзможно е.
Are we wrong to be here together again and is it impossible?
Може би аз, може би ти,
Maybe it's me, maybe it's you
ще решиш да продължим или да спрем,
Will you decide whether we continue or stop?
няма ли с теб какво да си кажем?
Is there nothing left for us to say to each other?

Yo Yo С всяка песен Графа разказва история, която те кара да се замислиш, кара те да чувстваш истински.❣ Този човек е много повече от велик. Бях на крачка от това да отида на концерта му, но за огромно мое съжаление го пропуснах. 😔
