El Vals del Wiener Schnitzel

Tom Lehrer

The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz

Do you remember the night I held you so tight,
As we danced to the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz?
The music was gay, and the setting was Viennese,
Your hair wore some roses (or perhaps they were peonies),
I was blind to your obvious faults,
As we danced 'cross the scene
To the strains of the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz.

Oh, I drank some champagne from your shoe.
I was drunk by the time I got through.
I didn't know as I raised that cup,
It had taken two bottles to fill the thing up.

It was I who stepped on your dress.
The skirts all came off, I confess.
Revealing for all of the others to see
Just what it was that endeared you to me.

I remember the night I held you so tight,
As we danced to the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz.
Your lips were like wine (if you'll pardon the simile),
The music was lovely and quite Rudolf Frimly.
I drank wine, you drank chocolate malts,
And we both turned quite green
To the strains of the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz.

El Vals del Wiener Schnitzel

¿Recuerdas la noche en que te abracé tan fuerte,
Mientras bailábamos el Vals del Wiener Schnitzel?
La música era alegre, y el ambiente era vienés,
Tu cabello llevaba algunas rosas (o quizás eran peonías),
Yo estaba ciego ante tus obvias fallas,
Mientras bailábamos por la escena
Al compás del Vals del Wiener Schnitzel.

Oh, bebí champán de tu zapato.
Estaba borracho para cuando terminé.
No sabía que al levantar esa copa,
Habían hecho falta dos botellas para llenarla.

Fui yo quien pisó tu vestido.
Las faldas se cayeron, lo confieso.
Revelando para que todos los demás vieran
Lo que era lo que me hacía apreciarte.

Recuerdo la noche en que te abracé tan fuerte,
Mientras bailábamos el Vals del Wiener Schnitzel.
Tus labios eran como vino (si me permites la comparación),
La música era encantadora y bastante Rudolf Frimly.
Yo bebí vino, tú bebiste batidos de chocolate,
Y ambos nos pusimos bastante verdes
Al compás del Vals del Wiener Schnitzel.
