Kitsch (Dutch)
LUCHENI: Take a good look at that photo
Elisabeth with her son, it's for a low price
And behold, it is Isn't this sweet?
The emperor with his family celebrates Christmas in the palace
And look here, the happy couple
âYou see, they are all in love yes?
Or a beautifully painted plate
Showing Sissi in prayer in the court chapel
Take with you a beautiful souvenir, full of imperial atmosphere
So delicate, sweet and heartfelt, my God what more could you want?
Kitsch!
Kitsch!
Kitsch!
Say, don't turn up your nose
Don't act like you really care about the truth
The truth costs you nothing
But what good is a truth that only depresses?
Oh, Elisabeth is in
People have been talking about her for more than a hundred years
But who she really was
You don't realize that from any book or film
What brought her to the adoration? What brought her hatred and envy?
What remained of her life in time?
Just Kitsch!
Kitsch!
Kitsch!
Well, if you really want to know
Your Sissi was in reality a tragic figure
From the strict protocol
She thought she could free herself, but was on a wall
And when it became clear
That Sissi had fallen into a trap
Prisoner of splendor
That's when she got really desperate and the drama just started
But you want to see fairy tales
So after a while we are left
Of beauty and of shame
Of dream and reality, only
Kitsch!
All Kitsch!
Everything is Kitsch!
Kitsch
Oooooooooooooh kitsch....
