The world will end-- everyone knows that in the Cafe of Vienna
What's the latest news in the journals? How is the soup
Who wants to play skat with me!?
Dear God everything is so boring!!!
Our young Empress cries all day long.
She does not eat anymore since she's lost her child...
Would you like another melange
She's probably pregnant again, she doesn't show herself anymore
we have waited too long already for an heir to the throne
She was visiting circus Rene the other day
The mother of the emperor was not too pleased
We sit around in the cafe and wait for the apocalypse
Chatterers (German) who don't know anything,
they just sit there and kill time
Again a year is gone-- LIKE I should care!!!
Who would like to play skat with me?
Our young Emperor does not seem to be very clever
or at least not in political affairs-- another drink?
The last war in Crimea put us in a neutral position
And now Austria is politically completely isolated
France, England and Russia stay on one line what is worse
we have a war with Pieramont (?)
So what if we sit in the cafe and kill time
and wait cheefully for the apocalypse,
this time she's got a son,
we didn't believe it anymore
and him they took away from her.
I found out she likes the Hungarians
Is she a liberal or is she radical?
She is a strange woman
Whatever, we cheefully wait for the apocalypse.
When young Rudolf was born, his mother had a terrible vision
She saw red flags, and crowds of people at the Batthaus place
Threatening her with their fists.
She saw barricades and her own son as the leader of the revolution wonderful
eccentric and decadent
Austria now needs a parliament
(repeated a few times)
Whatever, we sit in the cafe and kill time and
cheefully wait for the apocalypse. |
