Im letschte Tram

On the Last Tram

Im letschte Tram

On the last tram so late at nightIm letschte tram so spät am abe
Heading to the end stationUnderwägs zu dr ändstation
Many have buried their dreamsHet mänge sini tröim begrabe
And many feel they deserve moreU mänge wet är hät meh lohn

The sky hangs between the rooftopsDr himmel hanget zwüsche de dächer
The moon looks like a lemon sliceDr mond xeht us wine zitroneschnitz
In the old town, they still fill the cupsI dr altstadt fülle sie no dr bächer
And the girls sharpen their heelsU d'meitschi mache d giele spitz

The widows climb upD giele stige witwe
And the young bachelorsU die junge gselle
They climb in, it's not so clear anymoreSie stige ii si xes nüm so klar
They quench their longingSie si ga ihri sehnsucht stille
Each in their favorite barJede für sich i sini lieblingsbar

For me, they are somehow heroesFür mi si sie irgendwie helde
They have so much in common with meSie hei so vil mit mir gmeinsam
We all have nothing more to reportMir hei doch alli nüt me ds mälde
Especially not on the last tramScho gar nid ufem letschte tram

You can't worryChaschs gsorget gä
On the last tramIm letschte tram
No one can get closerMe chader nüt me näh
On the last tramIm letschte tram
You have to take it as it comesMueschs näh wis chunnt
On the last tramIm letschte tram
In such a late hourI sore späte stund

And Madonna hangs on the wallU d madonnna hanget ar tiili
She looks at me, but she doesn't see meSie luegt mi aa, aber si xeht mi nid
And Mona Lisa smiles for manyU d mona lisa lächlet für viili
She hangs next to the bank statementSie chläbt am fänschter näbem bankkredit
Driving past no entry signs and street signsFahre dür fahrverbot u strasseschilder
Past the advertisement for a snake oilVerbi ar wärbig fürne schlangefraas
False promises and fake picturesVerlogni sprüch u faltschi bilder
Promises of freedom, promises of funVerspräche freiheit verspräche gspass

How can a person endure the worldWie cha ne mönsch die wält ertrage
When they have to see so much crapWener so viu bschiss mues xseh
But I won't dwell, I won't torment myselfAber i ma nid grüble ma mi nid plage
Tired feet and aching headHa müedi füess u dr chopf tuetmer weh

I thought you would wait for meHa gmeint du würdisch uf mi warte
I thought I fit into your plansHa gmeint i passi dir i chram
Then I caught you cuddling with someone in the gardenDa hadi xe schmuuse mit eim im garte
And now I'm on the last tramU da bini haut ufs letschte tram

I can't worryI chas gsorget gä
On the last tramIm letshte tram
No one can get closerMe chamer nüt me nä
On the last tramIm letschte tram
I don't know what's comingI nimes wies chunnt
On the last tramIm letschte tram
In such a late hourI sore späte stund

If you still want to see meJa wet mi glich no wosch xeh
You know where I amDe weisch ja woni bi
I'm on the tramBi ufem tram
You can boardChasch ja zuestige
For example, at General Guisan SquareZum bispil bim general guisan-platz
Or at the Military GardenOder bim militärgarte
Or at the Shooter's GardenOder bim schützegarte
Or at Victoria SquareOder bim viktoria platz
Or at the Gallows FountainOder bim hänkersbrünndli
At the Gold FieldBim galdefäld
At the CemeteryBim frdihof
Or even at the Child EaterOder gar bim chindlifrässer
And it passesUnd überholpt
Why do all stops have such sweet namesWieso hei alli haltstelle sötegi näme

On the last tramUfem letschte tram
On the last tramIm letschte tram
Everything comes outS'chunnt alles us
On the last tramIm letschte tram
There are no more flower bouquetsS'git kei bluemestruss
On the last tramIm letschte tram
No one brings you the goodsBringt dir niemer dr schmuus
On the last tramIm letschte tram
The shot is firedDr schuss isch dus
On the last tramIm letschte tram

You have to take it as it comesMueschs nä wis chunnt
On the last tramIm letschte tram
In such a late hourI sore späte stung
On the last tramIm letschte tram
It's no longer whiteSisch nüme wit
With the last tramMitem letschte tram
It's the highest timeSisch höchschti zit
On the last tramIm letschte tram
Then you know what lies withinDa weisch was drinne ligt
On the last tramIm letschte tram
