Shanghai Near your sunny sky I see you now Soft music on the breeze Singing through the cherry trees – Dream of Delight You and the tropic night! I found that distant Easternland a Paradise Beneath the spell of two dear almond eyes! Shanghai, Shanghai Longing for you All the day to Shanghai – Shanghai, how could I know I did miss you so? There in the land of Mimosa Someone with eyes so true Waits there in Shanghai – Shanghai, land of my dreams and you! Shanghai ferne Jugendzeit Wie bist du weit! Was macht die kleine Frau – Lisa bist du alt und grau? Liebt' dich einst heiß! Heut' sind die Schläfen grau Es wird bald Frühling Und die Lotusblühen blühen Doch von der Lieb' Bleibt nur ein Foxtrottlied! Shanghai, Shanghai Longing for you All the day to Shanghai – Shanghai, How could I know I did miss you so? There in the land of Mimosa Someone with eyes so true Waits there in Shanghai – Shanghai, land of my dreams and you!
