Mängib dzäss [English translation]

Jazz is playing sorrowful Nordic tango

In a little stage in front of the tables

As you totter in boy’s arm

You pass by me in a foyer

There are tired swans on your dress

You yourself are like a tired swan.

Several people glance at you half-smilingly

Puff of laughter is a blow of trumpet

You’re still casting coquettish glances over your shoulder You’re perky, that’s not just because of tea

You spent the evening drinking cognac

You have your night out for the cognac

Your friends are ridden by jealousy

Because you get lucky all the time

You console them tomorrow while laughing

Yesterday’s darling’s name you don’t know

I once danced twist with you

As many have danced here

Something about you remained incomprehensible to me

What I didn’t ask you then

When someone asks you to a dance

And you can feel your soul flinching

So that bittersweet and longing pain

Is tormenting you day and night

And the longing just stays and stays

You won’t notice anyone else

What will you answer to him who asks

“how have you been, my lady?”

I’m no moral apostle

Not a boy fallen head over heels in love

Still the talk that I hear about you

Is sad to hear for a friend

Many men call you “Sweetie!”

I firmly keep seeing human in you

I don’t want your life to be carried by a sneer

Loud as a trumpet
