Der letzte Tanz
Wolfgang Ambros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Schrille Töne. Grelles Licht!
Wie's weitergeht des wiß' ma nicht.
Wehe, wehe,
wenn ich an das Ende sehe!

Keine Hoffnung. Alles aus.
Wir moch'n Schluß in Saus und Braus!
Wehe, wehe,
wenn ich an das Ende sehe!

Warum, warum geht's ned weiter, frogt da Hansi.
Weu's oit, weu's hoit aus is, sogt da Franz.
Kann ma, kann ma goa nix moch'n?
Na na na, es is der letzte Tanz!

Nix is mehr so wie's früher woa.
Früher woa olles so wunderboa.
Wehe, wehe,
wenn ich an das Ende sehe!

Olles hängt durch, nix is mehr grod.
Es is nix d'raus word'n - schod, schod, schod!
Wehe, wehe,
wenn ich an das Ende sehe!

Wos kummt nochher, wos kummt nocher, frogt da Hansi.
Niemand waß des, olles unkloar sogt da Franz.
I hob Angst i hoit's ned aus, i wü weg, i drah durch!
Sinnlos Hansi, es is der letzte Tanz!

Heiße Thythmen, ohne Plan.




Es ist der Tanz auf dem Vulkan.
Wehe, wehe...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 'Der letzte Tanz' by Wolfgang Ambros is a story about the end of the line. The song starts with loud, piercing sounds and bright lights, symbolizing the chaos that is looming around the corner. The singer is worried and filled with dread as he faces the unknown future. He sings about how there is no hope left and that everything is coming to an end. The people around him are resigned to their fate and ready to go out in a blaze of glory. As he looks back at the past, he mourns the loss of the beautiful world that once was, and how everything has turned bleak and dark.


The chorus of the song is a conversation between two people, Hansi and Franz. Hansi seems to be in denial, asking whether there is any chance of things getting better. Franz sadly replies that it is over, and there is nothing that can be done. The two people then wonder about what would happen next, but nobody knows. The singer expresses his fear and admits that he feels like running away. However, Hansi retorts that it is pointless as this is the last dance. The song ends on a dramatic note, with the singer describing the situation as a dance on the volcano, with no plan or direction.


In summary, the song is a powerful warning about the inevitability of the end. It emphasizes the importance of living in the moment and making the most of life before it's too late. The lyrics convey an apocalyptic mood that is both haunting and beautiful.
