Fire On The Water
Burgh Chris de Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I touch you I can feel you shivering,
I can feel your heart is beating fast,
We are alone in this crowded room,
Oh tonight there is something happening,
And it's something that should never be,
But there's a flame over you and me;

And I can see the fire on water,
I can see the light shining in your eyes,
I know that I can't stop it now,
'cause I've been caught in the heat of the sun

There's a place in an ancient fortress,
High above the worries of the world,
I'd love you there for a long, long time,
And we'll discover all our deepest secrets,
And let the spirit go flying free,
Until the dawn breaks over the sea;

It's burning like fire on the water,
I can see the light shining in your eyes,
I know that I can't stop it now,
'cause I've been caught in the heat of the sun,
Yes I've been caught in the heat of the sun,
Oh let it shine on me,
And I can see the fire on the water,
I can see the light shining in your eyes,
I know that I can't stop it now,
'cause I've been caught in the heat of the sun,
Yes I've been caught in the heat of the sun,
Oh let it shine on me;





And I can see the fire on the water,
Can't stop it now

...poczujcie się tak...dobrej nocy 😊
------------------------------------------------
Kiedy cię dotykam czuję że drżysz,
czuję, że twoje serce zaczyna szybciej bić,
jesteśmy sami w tym zatłoczonym pokoju.
Och, tej nocy coś się zdarzyło,
i to było coś, czego nigdy nie powinno być.
Lecz to jest płomień ponad tobą i mną.
I widzę ogień na wodzie,
widzę światło świecące w twoich oczach.
Wiem, że nie mogę teraz tego zatrzymać,
ponieważ zostałem schwytany w gorączkę słońca…
Tam jest takie miejsce, i starożytna forteca,
wysoko, ponad zmartwieniami świata,
chciałbym cię tam kochać przez długi, długi czas.
I odkryjemy wszystkie nasze najgłębsze sekrety,
I pozwolimy duszom lecieć swobodnie,
Póki świt nie wyłoni się zza morza.
To płonie jak ogień na wodzie,
widzę światło świecące w twoich oczach.
Wiem, że nie mogę teraz tego zatrzymać,
ponieważ zostałem schwytany w gorączkę słońca…
tak, zostałem schwytany w gorączkę słońca,
Niech więc świeci na mnie.
widzę ogień na wodzie…
