Im letschte Tram
Im letschte tram so spät am abe
Underwägs zu dr ändstation
Het mänge sini tröim begrabe
U mänge wet är hät meh lohn
Dr himmel hanget zwüsche de dächer
Dr mond xeht us wine zitroneschnitz
I dr altstadt fülle sie no dr bächer
U d'meitschi mache d giele spitz
D giele stige witwe
U die junge gselle
Sie stige ii si xes nüm so klar
Sie si ga ihri sehnsucht stille
Jede für sich i sini lieblingsbar
Für mi si sie irgendwie helde
Sie hei so vil mit mir gmeinsam
Mir hei doch alli nüt me ds mälde
Scho gar nid ufem letschte tram
Chaschs gsorget gä
Im letschte tram
Me chader nüt me näh
Im letschte tram
Mueschs näh wis chunnt
Im letschte tram
I sore späte stund
U d madonnna hanget ar tiili
Sie luegt mi aa, aber si xeht mi nid
U d mona lisa lächlet für viili
Sie chläbt am fänschter näbem bankkredit
Fahre dür fahrverbot u strasseschilder
Verbi ar wärbig fürne schlangefraas
Verlogni sprüch u faltschi bilder
Verspräche freiheit verspräche gspass
Wie cha ne mönsch die wält ertrage
Wener so viu bschiss mues xseh
Aber i ma nid grüble ma mi nid plage
Ha müedi füess u dr chopf tuetmer weh
Ha gmeint du würdisch uf mi warte
Ha gmeint i passi dir i chram
Da hadi xe schmuuse mit eim im garte
U da bini haut ufs letschte tram
I chas gsorget gä
Im letshte tram
Me chamer nüt me nä
Im letschte tram
I nimes wies chunnt
Im letschte tram
I sore späte stund
Ja wet mi glich no wosch xeh
De weisch ja woni bi
Bi ufem tram
Chasch ja zuestige
Zum bispil bim general guisan-platz
Oder bim militärgarte
Oder bim schützegarte
Oder bim viktoria platz
Oder bim hänkersbrünndli
Bim galdefäld
Bim frdihof
Oder gar bim chindlifrässer
Und überholpt
Wieso hei alli haltstelle sötegi näme
Ufem letschte tram
Im letschte tram
S'chunnt alles us
Im letschte tram
S'git kei bluemestruss
Im letschte tram
Bringt dir niemer dr schmuus
Im letschte tram
Dr schuss isch dus
Im letschte tram
Mueschs nä wis chunnt
Im letschte tram
I sore späte stung
Im letschte tram
Sisch nüme wit
Mitem letschte tram
Sisch höchschti zit
Im letschte tram
Da weisch was drinne ligt
Im letschte tram
On the Last Tram
On the last tram so late at night
Heading to the end station
Many have buried their dreams
And many feel they deserve more
The sky hangs between the rooftops
The moon looks like a lemon slice
In the old town, they still fill the cups
And the girls sharpen their heels
The widows climb up
And the young bachelors
They climb in, it's not so clear anymore
They quench their longing
Each in their favorite bar
For me, they are somehow heroes
They have so much in common with me
We all have nothing more to report
Especially not on the last tram
You can't worry
On the last tram
No one can get closer
On the last tram
You have to take it as it comes
On the last tram
In such a late hour
And Madonna hangs on the wall
She looks at me, but she doesn't see me
And Mona Lisa smiles for many
She hangs next to the bank statement
Driving past no entry signs and street signs
Past the advertisement for a snake oil
False promises and fake pictures
Promises of freedom, promises of fun
How can a person endure the world
When they have to see so much crap
But I won't dwell, I won't torment myself
Tired feet and aching head
I thought you would wait for me
I thought I fit into your plans
Then I caught you cuddling with someone in the garden
And now I'm on the last tram
I can't worry
On the last tram
No one can get closer
On the last tram
I don't know what's coming
On the last tram
In such a late hour
If you still want to see me
You know where I am
I'm on the tram
You can board
For example, at General Guisan Square
Or at the Military Garden
Or at the Shooter's Garden
Or at Victoria Square
Or at the Gallows Fountain
At the Gold Field
At the Cemetery
Or even at the Child Eater
And it passes
Why do all stops have such sweet names
On the last tram
On the last tram
Everything comes out
On the last tram
There are no more flower bouquets
On the last tram
No one brings you the goods
On the last tram
The shot is fired
On the last tram
You have to take it as it comes
On the last tram
In such a late hour
On the last tram
It's no longer white
With the last tram
It's the highest time
On the last tram
Then you know what lies within
On the last tram
