Translation
Cherish it
Black hair and black eyes
You tear an army into pieces 1
In the middle of a noose for the damned, I'm lost with a single kiss. 2
Cherish them, cherish them,
Cherish your eyes.
It's not worth it for me to die in front of your stairs. 3
With lips of fire and hands that stifle them 4
Feet like wild beasts that wrap around me
A sweet voice that exudes honey, even if she sings that she doesn't want me
Cherish them, cherish them...
- 1. Basically, means that the woman is so beautiful she could decimate an army. She's kind of like Helen of Troy.
- 2. This is quite poetic. It essentially means that, even if he were to be hanged by her, he'd still fall under her spell with one kiss.
- 3. The chorus sounds like a direct rebuttal to the first verse. He's done with her games and he might be threatening to tear out her eyes... .
- 4. If she puts her hand over her mouth, does that quench the flames? .

This is my theory about the meaning of the song.
The subject of the song is a siren, and in the verses she has captured the singer's attention and mind. Essentially, he'd do anything for her, even if it means being executed.
The chorus, however, is his subconscious fighting back against her spell, threatening her with violent acts, trying to get his conscious self to wake up.
I'm not saying this is the definitive meaning of the song; due to its poetry, there are potentially other interpretations.
