Bein bess ahn de Ääd

1)
Ich sooß em IC "Rembrandt", Basel - Rotterdam.
Et woor schon ziemlich spät, et jing ahm Rhing entlang.
Ming Zeidung hatt ich durch un all Jedanke zehnmohl och.
Ich wollt nur noch nohuss, ejal wie schön dä Fluss dolooch.
Stääneklar - die Naach woor ei'ntlich kolossal.
Dä Vollmohnd woor 'ne jääle Wasserball.
Op eimohl saat en Stemm treck hinger mir:
"Entschuldjung, ess he dä Platz frei nevven dir?"

Refr.:
Se hatt'e Kleid uss Finsterledder ahn,
Wie mer't vun Häuplingsdööchter kennt,
Un jed' Bewäjung hatt jet vun ner Schlang -
'Ne Südsee-Engel vun Gauguin.
En ihrem Bleck looch alles un vill mieh,
Als mer als Durchschnittstyp verdräht,
Un jede Silb' vun ihr woor Poesie,
Un se hatt Beine bess ahn de Ääd.

Ich saat: "Na, klar!", denn dat Abteil woor völlig leer.
Kei Minsch woor weit un breit, usser ihr un mir.
Mieh Häzz schlooch mer em Hals,
Ming Zung woor plötzlich schwer wie Blei.
Et jing durch dä Tunnel jäjenövver vun dä Loreley.
Op eimohl e Feeling wie elektrisiert -
Tschotschi hatt mich em Dunkle ahm Bein berührt.
"Hallo", saat dozo 'n Schaffnerstemm dann schroff,
"Mer sinn do. Dat he's dä Kölner Hauptbahnhof!"

Refr.:

Un jed' Bewäjung hatt jet vun ner Schlang -
'Ne Südsee-Engel vun Gauguin.
En ihrem Bleck looch alles un vill mieh,
Als mer als Durchschnittstyp verdräht,
Un jede Silb' vun ihr woor Poesie,
Un se hatt Beine bess ahn de Ääd

Legs up to Heaven

1)
I'm sitting in the IC "Rembrandt", Basel - Rotterdam.
It was getting quite late, running along the Rhine.
I'd already read my newspaper, and every thought ten times over.
I just wanted to get home, no matter how beautiful the river looked.
Crystal clear - the night was really magnificent.
The full moon was a huge ball of water.
Suddenly a voice said behind me:
"Excuse me, is the seat next to you free?"

Chorus:
She had on a dress made of dark leather,
Like chief's daughters wear,
And every movement had something of a snake -
A South Sea angel by Gauguin.
In her gaze everything lay and much more,
Than I as an average Joe could dream of,
And every syllable from her was poetry,
And her legs reached all the way to Heaven.

2)
I said: "Well, sure!", because the compartment was completely empty.
Not a soul was in sight, except for her and me.
My heart pounded in my throat,
My tongue suddenly felt as heavy as lead.
It passed through the tunnel opposite the Loreley.
Suddenly a feeling like being electrified -
Suddenly she touched my leg in the dark.
"Hello," the conductor's voice said gruffly,
"We're here. This is Cologne Central Station!"

Chorus:
She had on a dress made of dark leather,
Like chief's daughters wear,
And every movement had something of a snake -
A South Sea angel by Gauguin.
In her gaze everything lay and much more,
Than I as an average Joe could dream of,
And every syllable from her was poetry,
And her legs reached all the way to Heaven.
