Boil and steam the liquid around us
That impurifies the flames of our passion
Boil and steam all that suppress us
And around we spin in compassion
Curl on me your fins and hold me tight
Never let me go in the dark watery night
Kiss me your lips and boil me to heat
Bosom press tightly as our flames meet
Hide between the corals, but hide not from the Light
It has given us our power to love each other with might
Passion, burning flaming passion, is what controls us
And no one nor Poseidon can separate the two of us
We are one, as Eros has made it be,
We are one and one are we
Joined together as one our fins and scales be
And forever will be the roots of our destiny
Hold me close, my lover Bernadette!
And see our flames rise and heat
And let your hair dance with the confusion of the current
For they are confused on their own destinies
Hurry, Poseidon comes with his traitoring trident!
Forget the passion we had made in the sea
Boil and steam all that suppress us
And around we spin in compassion
And forever will be the roots of our destiny
For passion, dying burnt passion, is what controls us
