Текст песни Yvonne Werner-Mees - Amsterdam

Tonight Amsterdam there`s a dream washed ashore,
And it thinks it can place its trust in you, Amsterdam
Tonight Amsterdam, a hope rests in you
Like the flag on the mast at the windless pier
Tonight Amsterdam when the boozing tastes good
A boy falls on his head and dies
It will be wet tonight in Amsterdam
Unknown to anyone, a sailor is conceived

Tonight , Amsterdam, there is fish-fat
on the sailor's shirt after the third portion,
Yes, and when a tooth tears a halibut apart,
The boy just thinks about the way his girl bites
Everyone eats furiously, everything here smells of fish
And a double whiskey trickles over the table
And things get pretty loud Just outside in the night
The skin gets too tight A trousers seam splits

Tonight, Amsterdam, comes the fever that roars
Then a dance where the bodies ru
The accordian howls, the floor is too small,
All lust for the woman who moans in her loneliness
Everyone grabs one and gropes, everyone leaves one and laughs,
When the man who is playing must rest
You take your darling, that opulent thing,
to finish, back at your seat where your brandies are

Tonight, Amsterdam, the brandy drives everyone mad,
And they drink until dawn Fare thee well, Amsterdam!
And to you Reeperbahn, fare thee well To the brothel in Marseille,
To the booze in Calais, to the flesh of today
To the women of the world, that are there for your pleasure,
For whom the rich at least have the goodness to pay
And the dream, Amsterdam, it fades, it knows what`s coming next;
How it always ends, and you`ll soon understand,
Just a lousy cheat once again
Tonight, Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Amsterdam
