Below the original version is the English version.
A day where I felt like painting words with poetry
“En un día abondonada”
Tango Teezers
They are envuelto like eine chocolate,
noir draped in rouge, ils bouge …
Otto en eleganza, they correlate.
Long strides, talons rouges, ils ne pas de Hamboug,
Je suis sur…
Zwei von einer Flamboyance,
loro rivelano più pasion, noir, naranja, rosa y crimson red.
Cuál de los dos flamencos tiene ses jambes surélevées?
Who’s catching who’s legs as the Tango Teezer’s play.
Endlich er la atrapa,
él la levanta rapidement dans les airs,
elle n'a d'autre choix que de laisser ses ailes s'abaisser.
È come se per cinque secondi la tenda copriva l'oscurità,
solo para descender like an angel from Himmel…
And then to end, spinning like a top dancing on a flame,
leaving behind a burning trail…

English Translation
Tango Teezers
“On an abandoned day”
They are wrapped like a chocolate,
black draped in red, they move…
Eight in elegance, they correlate.
Long strides, red heels, they’re not from Hamburg,
I am sure…
Two from a flamboyance,
they reveal a lot of passion, black, orange, pink and crimson red.
Which from the two flamingos have their legs elevated?
Who’s catching who’s legs as the Tango Teezer’s play.
He catches her,
and quickly lifts her up in the air,
she has no choice but to let her wings down.
it’s like for five seconds the curtain covered the darkness,
only to descend like an angel from heaven…
And then to end, spinning like a top dancing on a flame,
leaving behind a burning trail…
