Text: Udo Lindenberg; Musik: Udo Lindenberg
Rudi Ratlos heißt der Geiger
der streicht uns grad 'n Evergreen
er ist 80, hat zittrige Finger
und ist schon ganz weich in den Knien
Rudi Ratlos mit viel Pomade
in den wenigen Haaren, die er noch hat
schade, schade, schade, schade, Berlin '33
da war er der schönste Geiger der Stadt
da war er der Liebling aller Frauen
und außerdem Leibmusikalartist
von Adolf Hitler und Eva Braun
Rudi Ratlos, heute wieder
auf den Brettern, die die Welt bedeuten
er wurde aus dem Altersheim abgeholt
von diesen cleveren Businessleuten
Der galante Carl Brutal
tanzt den Schieber jetzt nochmal
und er schiebt die Lady nett übers glänzende Parkett
und der Geiger geigt uns einen
und manche Damen fangen an zu weinen
und eine ist schon ganz naß
in den Augen und um die Nase blaß
Rudi Ratlos geigt den Tango
auf eine Art, die uns betört
er ist ein solcher Wahnsinnsmacker
daß selbst ein falscher Ton uns nicht stört
Und der galante Carl Brutal
tanzt den Schieber jetzt nochmal
und er schiebt die Lady nett übers glänzende Parkett
und der Geiger geigt uns einen
und manche Damen fangen an zu weinen
und eine ist schon ganz naß
in den Augen und um die Nase blaß
Dieser Rhythmus, daß jeder mit muß
diese Melodie vergißt man nie
uh, das geht in jedes Bein
so muß ein Tango sein

Udo Lindenberg (1946) è un cantautore, musicista e artista tedesco considerato uno dei più importanti esponenti della musica rock tedesca. Nato a Gronau, in Germania, Lindenberg ha iniziato la sua carriera negli anni '60 come cantante di gruppi blues e rock. Nel 1973 ha pubblicato il suo album di debutto, "Udo Lindenberg", che lo ha lanciato sulla scena musicale tedesca. Conosciuto per il suo stile provocatorio, le sue performance energiche e i testi spesso politici, Lindenberg ha venduto milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo. Tra i suoi brani più famosi si ricordano "Alles wird gut", "Sonderzug nach Pankow" e "C'est la vie". Oltre alla musica, Lindenberg è anche un noto scrittore e pittore, con numerose opere pubblicate e esposte in gallerie d'arte.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
