Lyrics
Verse 1 - Me
Half past twelve standing in the line. Gotta be early to be on time.
Cold wind blowing. Wish the sun would shine.
Minutes feel like hours. You’re not the only one.
We all want to be there. And have some hot fun.
It’s one o’clock. You rush towards the door.
You come back every time. To have some more
Hot, hotter, hottest. A choice to make.
Beware of the top shelf… It could be a mistake!
Chorus.
Es wird heiss, nass und laut. Eng, dunkel vertraut.
Heiss, nass und laut. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya….
When you go into the Banja sauna.
Bridge.
Some say it could be dangerous.
Others say it sets them free.
It gets so hot on the top shelf.
No-one will disagree.
Verse 2 - Sauna Meister
Welcome to the hot one. Shall we begin?
The door is closed now. Noone else can come in.
Do you want to do this? It’s not a sin.
You go beyond your limits. Out of control.
Some say it’s crazy. But it’s good for the soul.
Ten minutes is enough. You can’t take any more.
If it’s all too much. Go out of the door.
Have a good sweat. It’s not over yet.
Sweat, wet. You won’t forget.
Es wird heiss, nass und laut. Eng, dunkel vertraut.
Heiss, nass und laut. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya….
When you go into the Banja sauna.
