It's simply "Cold Clear Water", as "klares" is derived from "klar" (=clear) and this is the nominative neuter singular form it takes when standing without a definite article.
Compare: kaltes klares Wasser - das kalte klare Wasser
See, you didn't need hints
Okay, looking at my current playlist, try understanding these songs:
Perfekte Welle (for starters)
Symphonie (still doable)
Nur Ein Wort (fu..reaking hard, meguesses)
*German music pimping* [/quote]
der / die / das ... are those called definitive articles?
You'll love this ... when German bands use one of those in their name, often in the US they are filed under "D".
So that song would become:
-D-
"das kalte klare Wasser" if it included the article
Though an English band like the Cure would would under -C-. Crazy!
