Grande Valse Brillante [English translation]

You – vodka after vodka at the bar...

Eyes sweeping the wooden room – and your heart on rampage (Do you

remember?)

The band slowly winding down getting quiet

Saying , that in a moment (Do you remember, how with me...?)

Your look just found my eyes

You are coming – along the way it will besot –

Just now in a moment...(Do you remember, how with me. you

danced..?)

On tiptoes before me you landed and suddenly above the head

with waltz it thundered

It catches – for life and death – to dance Grande

Valse Brillante

Refrain:

Do you remember, how with me you waltzed

A maiden, madonna, a legend of these years

Do you remember, how the world started dancing

A world, that has fallen into your arms

A frightened blasphemer you cuddled to heart

A secretly blooming couple

Raising hotly, panting in one voice

Like the whole of me did, in conjectures and fog...

And this pair over a couple, which both is, and is

not

Because with eyelashes covered quickly covered, and down there

As if this was where they were and caressed with azure

One this one, the other that one, half and half

When across the ceiling you swirl – on the stars you catch

With your nose

When you whirl on earth, you pretend to be a strongman

Weakly muscles you strain, frail chest you display

I will have an athlete and a dragoon 1 for a man

Refrain:

And here the leg got stuck, a splinter got trapped in the shoe

Because he has a hole in his sole my candidate for a man

But he always gets out – now he’s free, it has passed

And he is waltzing, scuffling with a folded sole

Refrain:

1. huzar in original, in Poland huzars were heavy cavalry, like dragoons in GB, elsewhere in Europe the hussars were light cavalry units
