Kriminal-Tango [English translation]

Criminal Tango in the tavern:

Dark shapes and red light.

And they dance a tango,

Jacky Brown and Baby Miller.

And he says softly, "Baby,

when I'm out, you shut up. "

Then he orders two Manhattan,

and then comes a gentleman with a pince

Jack drinks and baby trembles,

but then she quickly turns the light off.

Criminal Tango in the tavern:

Dark figures, red lantern.

Evening after evening, the fuse blazes

sparkling tension is in the air.

And they dance a tango,

all who suspect nothing.

And they ask the chapel:

"Do not you have something hot?"

Because they could not know,

what has there between day and morning

in the nocturnal tavern

at the tango already happened.

Criminal Tango in the tavern:

Dark figures, red lantern.

Glowing looks, rising voltage,

and in the tension, there is a shot!

And they dance a tango,

Jacky Brown and Baby Miller.

And the police can not find anything

what would be suspicious at this.

Only the gentleman there, with the pince

who was shot in the dark,

could say something else,

but the Gentleman, he says nothing more.

Criminal Tango in the tavern:

Dark figures, red lantern.

Evening after evening always the same,

because this tango -

never go past,

never go past,

never go past
