A feeble attempt, but the gist of it should be there. The translation does not necessarily represent the opinions of the translator.
Fish and WaterFish: You can never see my tears, as I am in you.
Water: I can feel your tears, as you are in my heart.
I am no Fish; You are no Water. Can you see my tears of loneliness?Fish: I can never leave you, for without you, I cannot live.
Water: That I know, but without your heart, can you still live?
I am no Fish; You are no Water. I can never leave you as you are in my heart, but am I in yours?Fish: I am lonely, as I can only live in you.
Water: That I know, as your loneliness fills my heart.
I am no Fish; You are no Water. I am lonely as I miss you, but can you feel my loneliness from afar?Fish: If there is no me, what will remain in you?
Water: If there is no you, how can I remain?
I am no Fish; You are no Water. Without your love I can still live well, but that does not mean I can ever forget you.Fish: A lifetime spent not being able to see the world outside is my greatest regret.
Water: A lifetime spent not being able to convince you otherwise is my greatest failure.
I am no Fish; You are no Water. Now I want the promise of only one lifetime, can you give it?Fish: How many fishes have you had so far?
Water: You may not be the first in my life, but you come first in my heart.
I am no Fish; You are no Water. We are not the first in each other's life, but you are the first I wish to spend the rest of my life with.Fish: Do you believe in love at first sight?
Water: The moment I saw you, I knew you would swim into my heart.
I am no Fish; You are no Water. I thought my love for you would never last, as it was love at first sight. I am wrong, love is like wine, the longer it is kept sealed, the stronger it becomes.Fish: Why am I always the one who asks the questions?
Water: You are the one who can know my heart through the answers.
I am no Fish; You are no Water. Why do you always make me wait? Do you not know that waiting makes me lose faith, and eventually makes me quit?How I wish I was Fish and you were Water! Water always knows what Fish is thinking because Fish lives in the heart of Water.
Alas, I am no Fish; You are no Water. You would never know my love, as I may not even live in your heart.If I am Fish and you are Water, can I swim into your heart?
