Der letzte Tag English translation
von Peter Fox

Sweety dress up, I'll pick you up in 5 minutes
the best is barely enough because today is the last day
you say goodbye to mama, I brought flowers for you.
outside blue sky, birds in parks

Do we want to rock the beds in the Ritz, book the presidential suite?
Till it smokes and the bedposts give in
or we take a bunch of exquisite drugs
fly high, maybe we can already see parafise up there

last chance for a jump in Acapulco
I'm gonna write an opera, baby and take the place at the stand
Last act - me in a dress-coat-, the orchestra plays in tact
I conduct like I'm possessed, you are the queen of the night

let's not talk about tomorrow, words can't safe us
soon nothing matters, we can forget all worries
let's eat tons of cake, test champagne
And try to hit the stars with champagnecorks


Shake baby, baby shake
Nice life, nice world
Shake baby, baby shake
Until the sky crashes onto our heads

Shake baby, baby shake
Nice life, nice world
Shake baby, baby shake
Until the sky crashes onto our heads

Everything's over, sweety come and give me your hand
You, me, everyone dances with their backs towards the wall
We throw the last hot champagne party in the country
Orgies at the pool, handstand at the edge of the pool

And then a cannonball battle in our finest wardrobe
You in a gown, me in pleated slacks
There is ostrich-skewers, jellied shark
Along with Château Lafite and canned caviar

Hand me your glas it could be fuller
The hangover will handle itself
Everyone's out their minds, make confetti out of bills
Light fireworks with 100- dollar-bills


We don't need sleep, stay up until the end
Only have plan A: Dance on the vulcano until it erupts
Swaying arm in arm through the stary clear night
Every burden melts form the shoulders, like warm wax

Shake baby, baby shake
Nice life, nice world
Shake baby, baby shake
Until the sky crashes onto our heads

Shake baby, baby shake
Nice life, nice world
Shake baby, baby shake
Until the sky crashes onto our heads

Let us slowly walk home, hand in hand
And stare into each others eyes for a long time again
I'll tell you everything that I never told you
Give me a kiss, then the last day will start
