English translations for Hungry for You
from Ghost in the Machine

Note: all translator's comments are in (brackets).

English Translation by Bashir,
submitted by Alison

Although you have had enough tonight
I want you until I am satisfied
Our bodies are all wet
Completely covered with sweat
We are drowning in its pool
I still desire you
You ravish my heart
I drink your blood
No matter what I do
I am still hungry for you

The world is mine
i won it in a game of cards
But I don't give a f***
I won it too easily
There you have it, I confess
I don't know what else I have to give
You ravish my heart
I drink your blood
No matter what I do
I am still hungry for you...


Translation by Magda van Santen

Nothing to lay down (not sleeping ?) this night.
I want to do it with you until we will be wet.
But our bodies are framed all well (together in one shape?)
totally covered with perspiration (sweat)
We are drowning in the flood
I only have one disire.
You have destroyed my heart
And me, I've been drinking your blood.

But we can't do what we want to
I am always hungry for you
But we can't do what we want to
I am always hungry for you

The whole world is mine
I won it in a game of cards.
And now I am uneasy ( I am worried?)
This is gained too easy.
that 's it my beautifull traitor
it's necessary that I burn with jealousy
You have destroyed my heart
And me, I've been drinking your blood.

But we can't do what we want to
I am always hungry for you
But we can't do what we want to
I am always hungry for you

Nothing to lay down (not sleeping ?) this night.
I want to do it with you until we will be wet.
But our bodies are framed all well (together in one shape?)
totally covered with perspiration (sweat)


Translation by Krissy Oechslin

No sleep tonight
I want you
Until I'm dry (?!?!?!)
But our bodies are all wet
Completely covered in sweat
We are plunged in the sea
I have no desire --
You ravaged my heart
And me, I drank your blood

(this is where I'm not quite sure what he's saying)
But to not be able to do what we want;
I would always be hungry for you.
But to not be able to do what we want;
I would always be hungry for you.

The world is mine
I won it in a game of cards
And now (I'm going crazy???)
I won it too easily
It's my beautiful treachery (???)
So I must burn of jealousy
You ravaged my heart
And me, I drank your blood

But to not be able to do what we want;
I would always be hungry for you.
(I do believe that's what it says, even though later on he says something completely different in English)

But to not be able to do what we want;
I would always be hungry for you.

But to not be able to do what we want;
I would always be hungry for you.
But to not be able to do what we want;
I would always be hungry for you.

No matter what I do
I'm still hungry for you
No matter what I do
I'm still hungry for you

No sleep tonight
I want you
Until I'm dry (?!?!?!)
But our bodies are all wet
Completely covered in sweat

(Okay, so my translation is a bit, well, rough. I'm sure les francophones [French speakers] on the list will have lots of corrections for this but I guess that's to be expected. I just thought I'd put my boring-as-all-hell translation class to good use and translate something important!!!) -- Krissy Oechslin


Translation by Pascale Colon

Can't get to sleep tonight
I want you until I am dry
But our bodies are all wet
Completely covered by sweat
We drown ourselves in the tide
I have no desire
You have devastated my heart
And me, I have drunk your blood

But we can do what we want
I would always be hungry for you
But we can do what we want
I would always be hungry for you

The world is mine
I won it in a card game
And now I don't give a damn
It was won too easily
This is it then my beautiful traitress
I have to burn from jealousy
You have devastated my heart
And me, I have drunk your blood

But we can do what we want
I would always be hungry for you
But we can do what we want
I would always be hungry for you

But we can do what we want
I would always be hungry for you
But we can do what we want
I would always be hungry for you

No matter what I do
I'm still hungry for you
No matter what I do
I'm still hungry for you

Can't get to sleep tonight
I want you until I am dry
But our bodies are all wet
Completely covered by sweat

Hungry for you
I'm hungry for you
I'm still hungry for you
I'm hungry for you
I'm hungry for you
I'm hungry for you
