Die Königin von Eschnapur [English translation]

Well, I've been elected for life as President

Of the Club of Righteous Sons

We got our ideals

But mostly we had games, women and gin

We're flying to and fro

We have a lot of aerial intercourse1

And those who can still remember it tomorrow

Never took part in the first place

Well, we may loudly declare otherwise

But it's not really over

For we men are still the same

And you women, women, women

You are, too

Just our signatures have changed

Just like your titles

Like yours, for example

To me you are

You are the queen of Eschnapur

And most of the time you're wearing nothing but your wrist watch

You are the empress of Kazakhstan

And most of the time you're wearing nothing but your crown

On Mondays, most of us used to be young and wild

Until Thursday we gave in to our desires

We needed the rest of the week to recover

On the day of the Lord, we returned to our wives2

As far as I'm concerned, that's the way it should always be

I don't understand those wise old people

Who mostly confuse desire with anarchy

If that were the case, I'd dare

To reject the tower of wisdom

And I'd lament our death today already

They will never bury us alive

You are the queen of Eschnapur

And most of the time you're wearing nothing but your wrist watch

You are the child of the ruler of Caracas

When you go to the beach, the fish get wet

Ooh, all that will remain is real

Ooh, all that will remain of us is all real

[Repeat chorus]

Ooh, all that you're hearing now is real

Ooh, all that will remain of us is all real

Oooh, after all I'm my own real self

1. The original is a pun with "Verkehr" meaning both "traffic" and "(sexual) intercourse".2. The original is a little ambiguous, it can also mean "On the day of the Lord, we started making out all over again".
