Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Meine Lippen sie küssen so heiss (‘My Lips Give Hot Kisses’)
I don't understand myself,
why they keep talking of love,
if they come near me,
if they look into my eyes and kiss my hand.
I don't understand myself,
Why they talk of magic,
you fight in vain, if you see me
If you pass me by.
But if the red light is on
In the middle of the night
And everybody listens to my song,
Then it is plain to see:
My lips, they give so fiery a kiss,
My limbs, they are supple and white,
It is written for me in the stars:
Thou shalt kiss! Thou shalt love!
My feet, they glide and float,
My eyes, they lure and glow,
And I dance as if entranced, 'cause I know!
My lips give so fiery a kiss!
In my veins
runs a dancer's blood,
Because my beautiful mother
Was the Queen of dance in the gilded Alcazar.
She was so very beautifull,
I often saw her in my dreams,
If she beat the tamburine, to her beguiling dance
All eyes were glowing admiringly!
She reawakened in me,
mine is the same lot.
I dance like her at midnight
And from deep within I feel:
My lips, they give so fiery a kiss
