- Josephine Lyrics / with translationsNot tonight Josephine
In an army's strength
Therein lies the denouement
From here you're haunting me
By the Seine so beautiful
Only not to be of use
Impossible
So strange
Victory - 1,200 spires
The only sound
Moscow burning
Empty like the Tuileries
Like a dream
Vienna seems
Only not to be of use
Impossible
In the last extremity
To advance or not to advance
I hear you laughing
Even still you're calling me
"Not tonight, not tonight, not tonight"
Josephine
In an army's strength
Therein lies the denouement
From here you're haunting me
By the Seine so beautiful
Only not to be of use
Impossible
So strange
Victory - 1,200 spires
The only sound
Moscow burning
Empty like the Tuileries
Vienna seems
Only not to be of use
Impossible
In the last extremity
To advance or not to advance
I hear you laughing
Even still you're calling me
"Not tonight, not tonight, not tonight"
Josephine
