Resistansen - Kaizers Orchestra

Det finst ei trapp som gr ner til en kjeller

Den er s trang at du m g sidelengs

Og p veggen henger tjukt med bilder

Av folk som har gtt ner, men som ingen ser igjen

For Marcello sin kjeller er ingen vanlig kjeller

Det har vrt 100 mann der nere p en gong

Det str et bord midt p golvet, midt p bordet

En revolver og p den str det made in Hong Kong

Halleluja

Her er det russisk rullett kvar fredag

Og p sndag skal det vr konfirmasjon

Fru Conradas har gitt klar beskjed, p sndag kl.

12

Vil hu ikkje sj en drpe blod

Men Marcello er fine nr han drikker

For det er hans vin, det er hans damer og hans dans

Han er en sjarmr, og hans like fins ikkje

Alt og alle i den kjelleren er hans

Halleluja

Og for at stemning skal bli end meir russisk der nere

Har de ftt tak i ei russisk ballerina

Hu danse polka p den tradisjonelle mten

S fr hu en hundrelapp for holde kjeft til neste fredag

Ja humret i Marcello sin kjeller er upklagelig

Du er klam og du er svett nr du gr der i fr

Og dei som ikkje klarer st distansen

Dei kan ikkje vr medlem av resistansen

Halleluja

There is a staircase that leads down to a basement

It is so cramped that you have to go sideways

And on the wall hangs thick with pictures

Of people who have gone down, but who no one sees again

For Marcello's basement is no ordinary basement

There have been 100 men down there at one time

There is a table in the middle of the floor, in the middle of the table

A revolver and on it stands it made in Hong Kong

Hallelujah

Here is Russian roulette left on Friday

And on Sunday there will be a confirmation

Mrs. Conradas has given a clear message, on Sunday at

12

Will not see a drop of blood

But Marcello is fine when he drinks

For it is his wine, it is his ladies and his dance

He is a charm, and his like does not exist

Everything and everyone in that basement is his

Hallelujah

And for the atmosphere to be even more Russian down there

Have they got hold of a Russian ballerina

They dance polka the traditional way

So get a hundred bucks to shut up until next Friday

Yes the hummingbird in Marcello's basement is impeccable

You're clammy and you're sweating when you go there before

And those who can not stand the distance

They can not be a member of the resistance

Hallelujah
