Hinter den Kulissen von Paris [English translation]

Behind the scenes of Paris

life is so very sweet.

So, give me your hand,

I'll show you a land

that lies

behind the scenes of Paris,

there lies true paradise.

And the Seine flows forever

and love is forever,

it will always stay so,

day in, day out, always

Behind the scenes of Paris

life is so very sweet.

This is oblivious to strangers,

and that's why love

is so beautiful.

Behind the scenes of Paris

is where the real Paris lies.

And the Seine flows forever

and love is forever,

it will always stay so,

day in, day out, always

Come in, come in, ladies and gentlemen

It's the big Paris theater1

So give me your hand

Life only becomes interesting

behind the scenes of Paris,

because that's where the real Paris is.

And the Seine flows forever

and love is forever,

it will always stay so,

day in, day out, always

1. The French is pretty broken here. Sounds a bit like Tarzan speaking
