Salome [English translation]

[Alea]

Herod was enchanted,

Her gaze held him fast

"The most beautiful woman in the desert"

Salome was called

A glittering feast was held

in honour of Salome

To crown the evening,

the King wished her to dance

In the dungeon lay the Baptist

Salome wanted him

She dreamed of the kisses

which he would not give her

[Doro]

Just one kiss, John

It's still not too late

But my revenge will fall hard

On he who spurns me

[Chorus]

Dance like the wind (like the wind)

like foam on the sea

oh-oh dance for me, Salome!

Dance with seven veils,

Your skin as white as snow

Seven sins and a dance for me, Salome!

[Alea]

With fire in her eyes,

and a smile upon her face

wrapped in seven veils

She now says to the King

[Doro]

Herod Antipas,

I will gladly dance

But in return, I demand

the kiss I was denied

[Chorus x2]

...Salome...

With an enchanting smile,

she whispers coquettishly

[Doro]

Give me the head of the Baptist

on a silver platter

And she danced...

[Chorus x2]
