Ennek a dalnak a zenéjét Presser Gábor komponálta, a magyar szöveg szerzője Sztevanovity Dusán, magyar címe: "A villamos kettőt csöngetett" és itt hallgatható meg. Az eredeti dal szoprán, tenor és bariton szólamát a legnagyobb sajnálatomra sem tudtam reprodukálni ...
The Streetcar Bell
The streetcar driver rang his warning bell
you left and waved farewell
with no more words to tell
it’s for me but a stop to hell.
I still recall, it used to be before
a photographer’s shop,
where the streetcars stop
now an empty store to sell.
Think back,
we should’ve been smarter
when they said “Come on”,
instead of keeping on
fearing, waiting,
failing to make use of chance.
The streetcar driver rang his warning bell
for you to be aware,
and me to be aware:
that’s the end of our novel.
Photographers like to look for light
a shutter’s there to hide
the wedding pics inside
and a rusty power cell.
The streetcar driver rang his warning bell,
the car left down the Mell
with all the ads to spell
so there’s no more hearts to sell.
Photographer, what to do
with a never-shot portrait?
It won’t make much,
so don’t retouch,
’cause there’s no one there,
no customer,
it never will be paid.
The streetcar driver rang his warning bell,
the rails run parallel,
they won’t meet as well
that’s the end of our novel.
