[Alea]
Herod was enchanted,
Her gaze held him fast
"The most beautiful woman in the desert"
Salome was called
A glittering feast was held
in honour of Salome
To crown the evening,
the King wished her to dance
In the dungeon lay the Baptist
Salome wanted him
She dreamed of the kisses
which he would not give her
[Doro]
Just one kiss, John
It's still not too late
But my revenge will fall hard
On he who spurns me
[Chorus]
Dance like the wind (like the wind)
like foam on the sea
oh-oh dance for me, Salome!
Dance with seven veils,
Your skin as white as snow
Seven sins and a dance for me, Salome!
[Alea]
With fire in her eyes,
and a smile upon her face
wrapped in seven veils
She now says to the King
[Doro]
Herod Antipas,
I will gladly dance
But in return, I demand
the kiss I was denied
[Chorus x2]
...Salome...
With an enchanting smile,
she whispers coquettishly
[Doro]
Give me the head of the Baptist
on a silver platter
And she danced...
[Chorus x2]
