The lyrics continue to explore the duality of this love, where the beloved's eyes can turn deserts into floods and their hair can stir up storms. These vivid images convey the idea that this person has the power to completely transform her emotional landscape. The repeated phrase 'Felaket, felaket!' emphasizes the destructive yet irresistible nature of this love. It's a love that brings chaos and upheaval, yet she seems to be drawn to it despite the turmoil it causes.
