Der letzte Tag [English translation]
Der letzte Tag [English translation]
Honey, put on your fancy dress, I'll pick you up in 5 minutes
Today, the best is just about good enough, because today is the last day
Say goodbye to your Mum, I've brought you flowers
Outside blue sky, birds are singing in the park
Let's rock beds at the Ritz!
Shall we take the presidental suite?
Until there's smoke and bedposts are bending
Or we take a couple of exquisite drugs, take off -
Perhaps from up there you can see Paradise
Last chance for a jump in Acapulco
I'll quickly write up an opera, baby, and then go stand at the conductor's stand
Last act, me in a tailcoat, the ochestra plays the rhythm
I conduct like mad, you are Queen of the Night
Let's not talk about tomorrow
Words can't save us, soon nothing will be important anymore
We can forget the sorrows
Let's eat tons of cake,
test different champagnes,
and try hitting the stars with their corks
chorus:
(Shake baby, baby shake)
Beautiful life, beautiful world
(Shake baby, baby shake)
Until the sky falls on our heads
Everything is over, honey, come and give me your hand
You, me, everyone dances with their backs to the wall
Let's throw the last big champagne-party in the country
orgies at the pool, handstands at the basin's brim
And then cannonball dive battle in finest clothes
You in your evening dress, me in my finest trousers
There's ostrich en brochette, shark in aspic
With chateau lafitte and canned caviar
Hand me your glas - it could be fuller
No need to think about the hangover
Everyone's going crazy, people make confetti out of money
And ignite rockets with 100 Dollar bills
We need no sleep, stay awake till the end
We only have plan A, dance on the volcano until it goes off
Swining arm in arm through the starlit night
Every sorrow melts from the shoulders like warm wax
Let's slowly go home together
And look into each other's eyes for a long time once more
I'll now tell you everything I've never told you before
Give me a kiss - then the last day breaks off
