Dimanche soir au Plaza
Attendent la nuit et les chances
Vieilles images de Sza-Sza Gabor
sourient avec une certaine elegance...
Morçeaux de temps, ornés comme petites perles, au Plaza.

Sunday afternoon at the Plaza
waiting for the night to advance…
Faded old photos of Sza-Sza Gabor
smiling with professional elegance...
Fragments of time are kept like little pearls at Plaza.

Every night I sat in the lounge bar
just to catch a small glimpse of you
wearing a face from a film noir
love was just another thing to do
Carpet floors  mute the sound of pleasures at Plaza.

Let us drink a toast to the homeless
Bar is empty, just you and me
Dancing our dance in darkness
to a long-forgotten melody
Under the stars – on top of the grand old Plaza. ( - G6)
