I was watching my Chicago DVD this morning and during the Cell Block Tango the Hungarain women does her little ballet thing. Does anyone have any idea what she's saying?
In English?
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

"What am I doing here? They say my famous tenant held down my husband and I chopped his head off. But it's not true. I am innocent. I don't know why Uncle Sam says I did it. I tried to explain at the police station but they didn't understand."

For reference,

"Mit keresek én itt? Azt mondják, a híres lakóm lefogta a férjem, én meg lecsaptam a fejét. De nem igaz. Én ártatlan vagyok. Nem tudom, miért mondja Uncle Sam, hogy én tettem. Próbáltam a rendõrségen megmagyarázni, de nem értették meg."

I believe this is from the IMDb's Movie Trivia.

the movie has a few questionable part when it comes to her... in the cell block tango she is speaking Hungarian... but then in an earlier scene when she's pleading with Billy she is clearly speaking in Russian.

I was watching Chicago on A&E or Bravo... and they had a translation for it as one of their extra thingies...

I think the translation that was given by Georgeanne is pretty much correct! ^^
