Spanish:
      Yo que te quiero tanto, que voy a hacer? ( And I who love you so much; what am I going to do? )
      Me dejaste...me dejaste como una paloma ( You left me...you left me like a dove )
      El alma se me fue; se me fue el corazon ( My soul has left me; my heart has left me )
      Ya no tengo ganas de vivir porque no te puedo convencer
      ( I no longer wish to live because I cannot convince you )
      Que no te vendas, Roxanne ( Not to sell yourself, Roxanne. )

English Translation:

The moon, all too fair, in your russet-red hair sets a sparkling crown
The moon, all too red with glory, is spread on your poor, tattered gown
The moon, all too white, caresses the light in your world-weary eyes
Princess of the street, do allow me to greet you, my broken heart cries

The steps of Montmartre, all uphill, are hardest on the poor
The sails of the mill, like wings, shelter all paramours

I feel, beggar-girl, your fetters, they curl as they seek out my wrists
I feel your young breasts, your thin little waist
I lose my regrets
I taste on your mouth the feverish breath of a half-starving waif
And with your caress I sense drunkenness erasing my life

The steps of Montmartre, all uphill, are hardest on the poor
The sails of the mill, like wings, shelter all paramours

And see how she skips, the moon how she drifts,
The princess in tow

My reveries grow

The steps of Montmartre, all uphill, are hardest on the poor
The sails of the mill, like wings, shelter all paramours

Dance the whole night away
And it's called the Moulin Rouge

Shake your blues right away You'll be doin fine once the music starts...Oh!
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind

To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Oh the rhythm of the night...oh yeah

CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION

Well you can bump and grind
It is good for your mind
Well you can twist and shout
Let it all hang out

But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No you won't fool the children of the revolution, no no

Well you can tear a plane
In the falling rain
I drive a rolls royce
'Cos it's good for my voice

But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No you won't fool the children of the revolution, no no

You won't fool the Children of the revolution
No you won't fool the Children of the revolution
No you won't fool the Children of the revolution
No you won't fool No no You won't fool the children
No no you can tie the photographic tight you won't make it



Diamond Dogs

As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party
With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump
Dressed like a priest you was
Tod Browning's freak you was

Crawling down the alley on your hands and knees
I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see
The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal

( Will they come? ) I'll keep a friend serene
( Will they come? ) Oh baby, come unto me
( Will they come? ) Well, she's come, been, and gone
Come out of the garden, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog
Young girls, call them the Diamond Dogs

In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch
Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch
Just another future song, lonely little kitsch
There's gonna be sorrow, try and wake up for tomorrow

Halloween Jack is a real cool cat
And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase
The elevator's broke, so he slides down a rope
Onto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man go

( Will they come? ) I'll keep a friend serene
( Will they come? ) Oh baby, come unto me
( Will they come? ) Well, she's come, been, and gone
Come out of the garden, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog
Young girls, call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girls, call them the Diamond Dogs

Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs
Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs



MEET ME IN THE RED ROOM

I'll meet you in the red room close the door and dim the lights
I will be yours truly if indeed the price is right
So throw your sword, be my king let your passions rise and sing
Just show me the diamonds and I'll let you wear my ring
So just lay down beside you let us consummate,
I know you’re bursting let me help you deflate
If you want to plug in for a high voltage connection
Show me cold, hard cash and I will turn on my affection
~moaning~ I'll let you just a little...
So don't hesitate I won't kiss and tell
No need to worry Cause I'm, I'm a professional
The show can start as soon as I see money on the table
I've an empty space to fill I'm willing , if you're able
~moaning~ I'll let you repeat just a little
I’ll meet you in the red room, close the door and dim the lights
I'll meet you in the red room close the door and dim the lights
I will be yours truly if indeed the price is right
So throw your sword, be my king let your passions rise and sing
Just show me the diamonds and I'll let you wear my ring
I'll let you wear my ring. I'll let you wear my ring. I'll let you wear my ring
Meet you in the red room. Meet you in the red room. Meet you in the red room

She didn't know how lost she was, until she found you
She was beat, incomplete. She'd been had, she was sad and blue,
But you made her feel, yes, you made her feel, shiny and new
Like a virgin. Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin. Your hearts beat close in time
Gonna give you all her Love. Her fear is fading fast
She's saving it all for you, only Love can last
She's so fine and she's thine
She'll be yours 'till the end of time
Cause you made her feel, yes, you made her feel,
She has nothing to hide
Like a virgin. Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin. When your hearts beat, both in time
Like a virgin. Feels so good inside,
When you hold her, and you touch her, Oh
Duke:      She's so fine and she's mine. Makes me strong, yes she makes me bold
Now her Love thawed out, yes, her Love thawed out. What was scared and cold
Zidler:      Like a virgin ( like a virgin )

Zidler:      Like a virgin
Duke & Chorus:      With your hearts beat, both in time
Zidler:      Like a virgin ( like a virgin )

Zidler & The Duke:      Aahh, aahh, aahh Like a virgin
Chorus:      la, la, la, la la, la, la, la



SPARKLING DIAMONDS

Satine: The French are glad to die for Love...
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand, but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat or help you feed your mmm pussycat
Men grow cold as girls grow old and we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped these rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend...Tiffany's...Cartier...
Cause we're living in a material world and I am a material girl
Come and get me boys!
Black Star, Roscor! Talk to me, Harry Zidler, tell me all about it!
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
Zidler: But diamonds are a girl's best friend
Satine: There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer thinks you're
Zidler: Awful nice
Satine: But get that ice or else no dice
Diamond dogs: He's your guy when stocks are high, but beware when they start to descend
Diamonds are a girl's best, Diamonds are a girl's best, Diamonds are a girl's best, Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Satine: Cause that's when those louses go back to their spouses, Diamonds are a girl's best friend

COME WHAT MAY ( Original Movie Version )

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I Love You, until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will Love You
Until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song,
I'll be there by your side

Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I Love You, I Love You,
Until the end of time

Come what may, come what may, I will Love You
The greastest thing you'll ever learn...
I will Love You, Come what may, Yes, I will Love You
Come what may, I will Love You, Til my dying day
