Zywa Days of the week

Who are you, you elusive
mermaid in my story
of desire and boredom?

My story, my story
of shipwreck and beach
beach, beach, pebble beach

Washed ashore, thirsty
and shivering of exhaustion
awakened by the hot sun

Beach, beach, pebble beach
washed ashore, delirious
from hunger and alone
all alone with you

dancing in the waves of the sea
the sea, the sea, the waving sea
and my story, only my story

is sailing past this beach
beach, beach, pebble beach
mama, mama, grandma

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, I'm doing my best
come soon, soon, don't leave me alone


Zywa Dagen van de week

Wie ben jij, jij ongrijpbare
zeemeermin in mijn verhaal
van verlangen en verveling?

Mijn verhaal, mijn verhaal
van schipbreuk en strand
strand, strand, keienstrand

Aangespoeld, dorstig
en rillend van uitputting
gewekt door de hete zon

Strand, strand, keienstrand
aangespoeld, ijlend
van de honger en alleen
helemaal alleen met jou

dansend in de golven van de zee
de zee, de zee, de golvenzee
en mijn verhaal, alleen mijn verhaal

vaart voorbij dit strand
strand, strand, keienstrand
mama, mama, oma

maandag, dinsdag, woensdag
donderdag, vrijdag, ik doe mijn best
kom gauw, gauw, laat me niet alleen


Zywa Tage der Woche

Wer bist du, du ungreifbare
Meerjungfrau in meiner Geschichte
des Verlangens und der Langeweile?

Meine Geschichte, meine Geschichte
von Schiffbruch und Strand
Strand, Strand, Kieselstrand

Angespült, durstig
und zitternd der Erschöpfung
von der heißen Sonne geweckt

Strand, Strand, Kieselstrand
angespült, im Fieberwahn
vor Hunger und alleine
ganz alleine mit dir

tanzend in den Wellen des Meeres
das Meer, das Meer, das Wellenmeer
und meine Geschichte, nur meine Geschichte

segelt an diesem Strand vorbei
Strand, Strand, Kieselstrand
Mama, Mama, Oma

Montag, Dienstag, Mittwoch
Donnerstag, Freitag, ich gebe mein Bestes
komm bald, bald, lass mich nicht alleine
