Flaschenpost [English translation]

I wrote it down with ink

rolled my secret thoughts up in paper

I will drunkenly stuff it into the bottle

gift it to waves with a toss

Now you think that it is love

that I entrusted the bottle

be surprised because it are the slaps1

that lustfully hit my bride2

Into the glass it pours

and you read what I want to give you

across the sea it drifts to you

full of lust3 the message in the bottle

I bend her over, please don't think badly of it

stuff a cloud under her belly

exactly because she doesn't expect it,

my darling gets the hose from behind

Into the glass it pours...

Like a swarm of bees I want to serve you

without stinging without avenging

offering and becoming horny

with what you're stingy is what entices me

Into the glass it pours...

The message in a bottle

full of lust it comes from me

the message in a bottle

1. directly it would mean beating, but less fitting for the rest of the lyrics2. could also be translated as woman3. usually, "Gier" would be translated as greed, lust is a rarer use, but more fitting in this context
