These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Er war eben so, war völlig daneben
That's just how he was, he was completely wrong
Er hat nie geraucht, ging nie einen heben
He never smoked, never went to lift one
Statt Vinho und Gambas, Vollmilch und Brot
Instead of vinho and prawns, whole milk and bread
Und was hat er davon?
And what does he get out of it?
Denn nun ist er tot
Because now he is dead
Er saß wie ein Geier auf seinen Moneten
He sat like a vulture on his money
Er ließ es nie krachen auf diesem Planeten
He never let it rip on this planet
War immer versichert für jegliche Not
Was always insured for any emergency
Und ich trinke auf ihn
And I drink to him
Denn nun ist er tot
Because now he is dead
Es lebe das Laster
Long live vice
Denn wer brav ist wird nirgendwo vermisst
Because if you're good, you won't be missed anywhere
Erst recht wenn er daran gestorben ist
Especially if he died from it
Es lebe das Laster
Long live vice
Denn wer brav ist wird nirgendwo vermisst
Because if you're good, you won't be missed anywhere
Erst recht wenn er daran gestorben ist
Especially if he died from it
Er ging nie zum Aufriss in heiße Lokale
He never went to hot spots to pick up
Machte niemanden an und niemals Randale
Never attacked anyone and never rioted
Kein Cocktail am Strand im Abendrot
No cocktails on the beach in the sunset
Er tut mir so leid
I'm so sorry
Denn nun ist er tot
Because now he is dead
Er hat das Finanzamt niemals beschummelt
He never cheated the tax office
Und hätt' er 'ne Frau
And if he had a wife
Hätt' er sie nie befummelt
If only he had never touched her
Er war nie im Bett mit Blond oder Rot
He was never in bed with blondes or redheads
Und jetzt ist es zu spät
And now it's too late
Denn nun ist er tot
Because now he is dead
Es lebe das Laster
Long live vice
Denn wer brav ist wird nirgendwo vermisst
Because if you're good, you won't be missed anywhere
Erst recht wenn er daran gestorben ist
Especially if he died from it
Es lebe das Laster
Long live vice
Denn wer brav ist wird nirgendwo vermisst
Because if you're good, you won't be missed anywhere
Erst recht wenn er daran gestorben ist
Especially if he died from it
Er aß sich nie satt
He never ate his fill
Und war trotzdem nicht schlank
And still wasn't slim
Er fuhr nie ans Meer
He never went to the sea
Denn die Sonne macht krank
Because the sun makes you sick
Alkohol war tabu, weil das die Leber zerstört
Alcohol was taboo because it destroys the liver
Er ist von innen vertrocknet
It has dried up from the inside
Und von außen verdörrt
And withered from the outside
Es lebe das Laster
Long live vice
Denn wer brav ist wird nirgendwo vermisst
Because if you're good, you won't be missed anywhere
Erst recht wenn er daran gestorben ist
Especially if he died from it
Es lebe das Laster
Long live vice
Denn wer brav ist wird nirgendwo vermisst
Because if you're good, you won't be missed anywhere
Erst recht wenn er daran gestorben ist
Especially if he died from it
