Kaizers Orchestra – Min Kvite Russer Lyrics 18 years ago
I don't think it's smoke he is singing about when he says "Blås med meg min kvite russer"
I think it's more like "bring/blow with me my White Russian".
As he jumps with his parasol off the balcony, he wants the wind to bring with him his drink so he won't be lonely. So the wind is to carry the White Russian with him.

Kaizers Orchestra – Die Polizei Lyrics 18 years ago
It was late
And I was on the way
From Germany to Poland,
They want everything I've heard,
and everything I've seen,
the police, the police, the police
they want everything I've heard, the police.

And it had become known
that I held a document
of a certain kind
that prompted them to take me in
and interrogate me,
the police, the police, the police
They took me in and interrogated me, the police.

We know who you are.
We know everytzing about you,
and we know where you live,
and we know where you live.

Mr. police, Mr. Police
You'll never find me again
because I have gone off the path, Mr. Police.
You'll never see me again.

And I ran
God, knows how a ran,
but I saw nothing.
For all I know, I ran in circles.
But they couldn't keep up
the police, the police, the police
They couldn't keep up, the police.

We know who you are.
We know everytzing about you,
and we know where you live,
and we know where you live.

Mr. Police, Mr. Police,
You'll never find me again,
because I've gone off the path,
Mr. Police...

Kaizers Orchestra – Dekk Bord Lyrics 18 years ago
It was a long winter, but spring came in the end,
and everyone on the boat had a party
There were [overgrown] nets and a lot of blood and sweat.
The Captain worked like a horse
He was a skinny little weirdo with a hunger for experience
but the rations were mostly water and seeds.
He stood by the rudder the whole day, and had a bet with Skagen about which way was the quickest to Capp Horn.
Lay the table.

When the ocean was calm, we were to have a break from the craziness,
Everyone sat down to play cards.
The captain gave out the cards, and the rest of us played,
and the money changed hands pretty quickly
Carlos despaired while the others smiled,
they said: we'll take everything Carlos has
And later when the judgement was made, carlos had lost everything.
It was because he only collected the spades.

Row home to Transylvania
Forget personalities and trivialities
Lay the table, send a telegram to Victoria
because we are almost there.
Victoria, lay the table.

De'd lost a couple of men; Carlos was the last
It happened when we came to Marseilles
He lost a drinking contest against The Belgian Chimpanzee,
so now he isn't sailing any more.
It was chaos in Hong Kong, we struck a rock by Laos.
We thought we'd never get away from there,
but then a native tribe came out and thought our ship was God
and pushed us out on the open sea.



This song is about some sailors traveling around the globe and some of their crazy mishaps. Most importantly its about going home.
It's just a funny song. :)
The Sentence Dekk Bord is rather difficult as it is from a story of a table that magically gets plates and food on it (if I remember it correctly...). The most direct way to translate would be "Fill Table!", but that doesn't make much sense.

Kaizers Orchestra – Død Manns Tango Lyrics 18 years ago
It's a cold November, bordering December
I see nothing, my vision is blind
I have sent my position, this is my conclusion
I no longer trust my instincts

So farewell, farewell, wish me luck
Light candles for me tonight. Give my son a hug.
And say hi to the priest,
tell him I'm a Christian now.
A part of that process nearly killed me.
You can't take my beliefs away from me.

Because no one heard my order/commando,
And there is no life in my tango.

Looked up towards the heavens and my savior floated down,
Like a feather, like a feather, my savior floated down.
Looked up towards the heavens
And my savior was shot down,
Like a feather, like a feather, my savior was shot down.


I think this song is about someone going into a situation where they are bound to die. The person gives his last words to someone to let them know that he has come to terms with the fact that he is going to die. I love the ending, because it could mean that he has a religious moment or simply a moment where he thinks that he might survive, but that chance is destroyed easily, much like a feather.
