Leo Monosson & Tanzorchester Paul Godwin: "Schöner Gigolo" (Just A Gigolo) - Polydor 1929

Описание: Played on my La Voix de son Maitre (HMV France) record player model 250 from 1936

Translation from the original German text:

Ref.:
Handsome gigolo, poor gigolo, don't think about the times,
when you could ride through the streets as a hussar, even with gold laces!
Uniforms are over, darling says: goodbye! Beautiful world, you walked in fringes!
Even if your heart breaks, show a smiling face,
they'll pay and you'll have to dance!

1.
The little lieutenant, he was the best rider
and all hearts flew to him straight away.
He could kiss and dance like no other,
he could and saw and won in an instant.
He fought for many months in France over there,
soon on the Vistula, Piave, somewhere.
Now he has nothing left, he became a gigolo!

Ref.: Handsome gigolo, poor gigolo...

2.
He became a dancer, the earth keeps turning,
the little lieutenant dances for his daily bread. If only the old mother could be cheerful again,
she must no longer feel any bitter need.
There, where he listened to the beautiful songs over champagne,
where he danced in dulci jubilo,
there he dances again every day, but only as a poor gigolo!

Ref.: Beautiful gigolo, poor gigolo...
