Melancholic and besides
Melancholic, so what?
More decent than decency
But between me and you
I was already this way
Before
Apostolic paleness
The joy of saying it with flowers
Sometimes I laugh heartily
But between me and you
You won't see it again
You won't see it anymore
That's what I have left
Of my late youth
That's all I have left
Melancholic and besides
Melancholic, so what?
Alcoholic delights, delights of illusions
But between me and you
I was already this way
Before
Transatlantic is my heart
Filled with steamboats
I'd like to possess happiness
But between me and you
You won't see it again
You won't see it anymore
Melancholic and besides
Melancholic, so what?
Unpleasant at first
But between me and you
I was already this way
Before
Ananchronistic candour
A heart-catcher policy
Sometimes I dance late at night
But between me and you
You won't see it again
You won't see it anymore
