Tango
Language: German (Deutsch)
Chosen for Diff
Tango tönt durch Nacht und Flieder. Ist's im Kurhaus die Kapelle? Doch es springt mir in die Glieder, Und ich dreh mich schnell und schnelle. Tango -- alle Muskeln spannt er. Urwald und Lianentriebe, Jagd und Kampf -- und wie ein Panther Schleich ich durch die Nacht nach Liebe.
