: Cultural note, water isn't considered a fit beverage for a Klingon.

Regarding the Klingon attitude to water, consider the following:
matay'DI' vIHtaHbogh bIQ rur mu'qaDmey
Between us, curses run like water. (PK)
tay'taHbe' 'Iw bIQ je
Blood and water don't mix. (TKW)
tlhutlhmeH HIq ngeb qaq law' bIQ qaq puS
Drinking fake ale is better than drinking water. (TKW)
bIQ ngaS HIvje'
The cup contains water
(idiom: "be quite mistaken, be totally wrong") (KGT)
bIQ ngaS HIvje'lIj
Your cup contains water (i.e. "You're all wrong") (KGT)
puj; bIQ rur
weak as water (KGT)
I don't know this song, but would bloodwine {'Iw HIq} - or just {HIq} for
that matter - distort the imagery you're after?
