Der letzte Tag [English translation]

Sweetheart, get dressed, I'll fetch you in 5 minutes

The best is just good enough, because today is the last day

You say goodbye to Mum, I brought you flowers

Outside a blue sky, birds are singing in the park

Do we want to rock beds in the Ritz?

Take the presidental suite?

Until it gives off clouds of smoke and the bedpost are bending

Or we take a couple of exquisite drugs, take off -

Maybe you can already see the paradise from above

Last chance for a jump in Acapulco

I'll write an opera fast, baby, and stand at the lectern

Last act, me in a tailcoat, the ochestra play in the rhythm

I direct like crazy, you are the queen of the night

Let's not talk about tomorrow

Words can't save us, soon everything won't be important anymore

We can forget the sorrows

Let's eat cakes in barrels

Try champagne brands and try

To strike the stars with the corks

chorus:

Beautiful life, beautiful world

Until the sky falls on our head

The earth is shot, sweety, come and give me your hand

You, me, all dance with backs to the walls

We throw the last hot champagne-party in town

orgies at the pool, handstand at the basin's brim

And the last cannonball battle in finest clothes

You in your evening dress, me in the finest trousers

There's ostrich en brochette, shark in aspic

With chateau lafitte and caviar out of the can

Hand me your glas - it could be fuller

The hangover will be alright without attention

All are going crazy and make confetti out of money

And ignite rockets with 100 Dollar bills

We need no sleep, stay awake till the end

We only have a 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 say everything now that I never told you

Give me a kiss - then the last day is dawning
