Stille Wasser [English translation]

I want to drink this water,

it should be my reflection.

I want to sink into it,

in my still water.

It pulls me into the deep,

down into her lap.

I've long lost myself,

it never lets go of me.

Still waters run so deep,

longing is like heady wine,

when you dive deep into it,

nothing will be like it was before.

Still waters run so deep,

longing, clear and cold and pure.

Whoever drinks of this water,

will get lost in it.

And shall I find something,

what no one has ever seen,

so shall I hide it,

in the deep and clear water.

In the frenzy of the deep,

I want to lose myself

and kiss your soul,

and touch it.

Still waters run so deep,

longing is like heady wine,

when you dive deep into it,

nothing will be like it was before.

Still waters run so deep,

longing, clear and cold and pure.

Whoever drinks of this water,

will get lost in it.
