Süßwasserfisch [English translation]

I took the bait off the fishing line

Because that's the fad these days

You gotta wait for a while

I'll give it a go1

I draw the line, the water breaks

And that which was hidden now comes to light.

You are my sweetwater2fish

You seem so fresh to me there on the table

I held the pole still for so long

You are my sweetwater fish.

You wriggled to and fro, you sped away

I need skills if I'm to get a hold of you

You are too big, I gotta portion you up

I took you home in one piece.

A good catch, my bosom swells

Upon that which lays before me and now I desire.

You are my sweetwater fish

You seem so fresh to me there on the table

I held the pole still for so long

You are my sweetwater fish.

I generously and gently rub you with butter

And then I drizzle you with some white Wine

And after I have scaled you

Then I truly understand what I have.

You are my sweetwater fish

You seem so fresh to me there on the table

I held the pole still for so long

You are my sweetwater fish.

1. lit. to try one's luck at fishing2. actually means freshwater, as opposed to saltwater fish. I chose sweetwater due to the "somewhat" romantic nature of the lyrics.
