Roulettenbourg Roulette Songtext
von Tantum

I′m sorry to say
But Babushka is alive
Open the doors
Of Roulettenbourg
Everything starts with ten rubles

Oh, General, it is not today that luck is yours
Here comes the queen of hearts with her rubles in her pocket
Roulette is for everyone, but you run away
Bankers tell the rules tonight
But you await a telegram from the sky

I had bet on love and sent him away
I fell in Rolettenbourg roulette and have in my hands
The red card deck, and chips, and luck
I have with me cigars, power and lights
I give my destiny to the spinning of the roulette night


But darling, I warn you
Not all of you are big leopards
And not all lizards tend to evolve
Roulettenbourg is the cradle of the subalterns
And when Babushka leaves, she will take the neon with her

Oh, general, let's go together to dissipate the loves
I see the doom on the board exuding red steam
Let us be pawns, not kings cornered
I do not want the weight of existence on my back
And there I go, in roulette, with my ruble, the last

I had bet on love and sent him away
I fell in Rolettenbourg roulette and have in my hands
The red card deck, and chips, and luck
I have with me cigars, power and lights
I give my destiny to the spinning of the roulette night

But Babushka rushes on the train
With one hundred rubles in her pocket
She is the old queen at the top of the roulette
In Roulettenbourg everything will change, dear ones
I see the chips against the dog of destiny


I had bet on love and sent him away
I fell in Rolettenbourg roulette and have in my hands
The red card deck, and chips, and luck
I have with me cigars, power and lights
I give my destiny to the spinning of the roulette night
Roulette night
Roulette night
The roulette night
