Ты Успокой Меня ) Ты успокой меня, Скажи, что это шутка, Что ты по-прежнему, По-старому моя! Не покидай меня! Мне бесконечно жутко, Мне так мучительно, Так страшно без тебя!.. Но ты уйдешь, холодной и далекой, Укутав сердце в шелк и шаншилла. Не презирай меня! Не будь такой жестокой! Пусть мне покажется, Что ты еще моя!.. 1930, Дрезден

Где Вы теперь? Кто Вам целует пальцы?

Куда ушел Ваш китайчонок Ли?

Вы кажется потом любили португальца?

А может быть с малайцем Вы ушли...

В последний раз я видел Вас так близко,

В пролете улиц Вас умчал авто...

Мне снилось, что теперь в притонах Сан-Франциско

Лиловый негр вам подает манто...

Complete text of the song, with last omitted here - Part 1:

Where are You now? Who kisses your fingers?

Where has Your China-boy Lee gone?

You were in love with a Portuguese then, it seems,

Or maybe You left with a Malay?

Last time I saw You so closely…

Your auto speeded You into streets' spans

I dreamt that in brothels of San Francisco

A purple Negro holds out manteau for You now!

Complete text of the song, with last omitted here:

Well, you left, leaving your white blouses shining on the floor

Your parrot Fauber was left back in his cage …

He keeps on screaming “Jauber” and sobs in French,

While You left for good …

[RealEros1]

Can you post the lyrics?Doesn't matter which language but what it says :)

[CAPITALISTagenda]

@RealEros1 Here's a butchered translation from Google Translator: Where are you now? Who are you kissing your fingers? Where did your kitaychenok Lee? You seem fond of the Portuguese then? Or maybe you went to Malays ... The last time I saw you so close In the span of the street carried off your car ... I dreamed that now haunts in San Francisco Purple black coat gives you ... It should give a pretty good idea what the song is about though.

@CAPITALISTagenda Thanks!Where can I get his music and lyrics?

[CAPITALISTagenda]

@RealEros1 You're welcome! I had to send the links through PM, because the comment system here won't let me post links, no matter how much I try.

You can find his music on Ebay. There are some sellers there that sells his music at the moment.
