♬ Lyrics

London, París, Róm – urðu orðin tóm
Gekk þann gyllta breiða, blindaður af ást
Falskir kunningjar, snerust um mig einan
Fékk mér kavíar, núna er allt um seinan
Því ég stíg minn hinsta dans
Og ég kveð mitt líf með glans
En ég iðrast aldrei neins, iðrast aldrei
Kristals kampavín, perlur postulín
Demantar í matinn, ást í eftirrétt
Ef ég elsk' í dag, blöðin birta á morgun
Fæ mér freyðibað, drekki mínum sorgum
Og ég stíg minn hinsta dans
Og þannig kveð mitt líf með glans
En ég iðrast ég aldrei neins, iðrast aldrei
Allt sem ég fæ í dag, farið burt á morgun
Svo ég stíg minn hinsta dans
Og þannig kveð mitt líf með glans
En ég iðrast ég aldrei neins, iðraѕt аldrei
