HelloWien -- Halloween

The song is in austrian,so I have made the effort

to translate the song into english :-)

 

Long life the Cementery

 

Long live the Central Cemetery and all its dead.

Entry is forbidden for the living today without exception.

Because death is giving a party today, the whole long night.

And not one of the guests needs an entrance ticket.

When night falls over Simmering, life comes to the dead,

And over at the crematorium they fry bone marrow.

Back there by the marble tomb, there stand two skeletons,

They toast with two urns and drink to each other.

 

At the central cemetery there's a mood like there hasn't been since living days,

Because all the dead are celebrating their first hundred years today.

 

Long live the central cemetery and its jubilarians.

They have been lying and rotting there for over a hundred years.

Outside it's cold and down below it's warm, only sometimes a bit damp,

When you lie down there like that, you're happy when the grave lantern lights up.

 

Long live the central cemetery, the scene becomes macabre,

The priests dance with the whores and the Jews with the Arabs.

Today everyone is funny again, today everything comes to life.

In the mausoleum a band is playing, they've got a mad hammer on.

 

At the central cemetery, the atmosphere is like it hasn't been since our lifetime,

Because all the dead are celebrating their first hundred years today.

 

Long live the central cemetery! Suddenly it makes a schnalzer,

The Moser sings the Fiakersong and the Schrammeln play a waltz.

All at once the music is silent and all eyes shine,

Because over there stands the bone man and waves with his scythe.

 

At the central cemetery, the atmosphere is like it hasn't been since our lifetime,

Because all the dead are celebrating their first hundred years today.
