Her stroke's beauty to behold
It lets me see into her soul
What to hope for, what to fear
How she looks from the rear
She exudes enormous heat
Which explodes and then retreats
Fire and water can never be one
There's no fusion, they will not succumb
I have to shiver and seethe alone
And in the water I'm burned
In water I'm burned
Wet skin's beauty to behold
It vows to swallow and enfold
As her long legs move apart
The darkest cavern of her heart
Reveals to me her shadowed fire
A black abyss for my desire
She glides by me without a glance
I'm her shadow, without a chance
I have no hope left and should have none, 'cause
Fire and water can never be one
There's no fusion, they will not succumb
I have to shiver and seethe alone
And in the water I'm burned
In water I'm burned
Her strokes cause waves that surge right through me
Yet every move from her eschews me
I reach for her with cold wet hands
And she will forever elude me
You see
Fire and water can never be one
There's no fusion, they will not succumb
I have to shiver and seethe alone
And in the water I'm burned
In water I'm burned

I've gone with the 'How she looks from the rear' line. It's in line with Till's lyrics and amuses me, so it goes in.
Just one comment here -- in the early choruses, the words are "Feuer und Wasser komm nicht zusammen...", until the end, then "...komm nie zusammen." That's an important distinction there. To me, it emphasizes how hopeless his quest is, and he realizes that "fire and water can *never* come together." So perhaps you could preserve the "fire and water don't come together" of the earlier choruses in some way and only use "never" for the last one?
ReplyDeleteBloody hell, you're a treasure. I never noticed the difference. Correcting accordingly!
