Long live the Central Cemetery and all its dead!
Entry is strictly forbidden for living people today without exception.
Because death is having a party today, all long night long.
and only one of the guests needs a ticket.
When the night falls over Simmering, life comes into the dead,
and over at the crematorium they fry the bone marrow.
Back there by the marble crypt, there are two skeletons sitting together with two urns and drinking each other.
The atmosphere at the central cemetery is the same as it has been since we were alive,
because all the dead are celebrating their first hundred years today.
Long live the Central Cemetery and its anniversaries.
They've been lying there and rotting for over a hundred years.
Outside it's cold and underneath it's warm, just sometimes a little damp,
When you lie down there, you're happy when the grave lantern lights up.
Long live the Central Cemetery, the scene becomes macabre;
The priests dance with the whores, and the Jews with the Arabs.
Today everyone is having fun again, today everything is coming to life.
There's a band playing in the mausoleum that's really awesome.
The atmosphere at the central cemetery is the same as it has been since we were alive,
because all the dead are celebrating their first hundred years today.
Long live the Central Cemetery! On amoi there's a smack,
the Moser sings the Fiakerlied and the Schrammeln start waltzing.
On amoi the music is silent and everyone's eyes are shining
because the bone man is standing over there waving his scythe.
The atmosphere at the central cemetery is the same as it has been since we were alive,
because all the dead are celebrating their first hundred years today.
