Song lyrics to Wilkommen, from the musical Cabaret
M.C. (Joel Grey):
Willkommen! Bienvenue! Welcome!
Fremder, etranger, stranger
Glcklich zu sehen,
Je suis enchant,
Happy to see you,
Bleibe, reste, stay.
Willkommen! Bienvenue! Welcome!
Im Cabaret, Au Cabaret, To Cabaret!
Meine Damen und Herren-
Mes dames et Messieurs-
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Guten Abend! Bon Soir! Good Evening!
Wie geht’s? Comment sa va?
Do you feel good?
Ich bin eur confrencier!
Je suis votre compre,
I am you host!
Und sage.
Willkommen! Bienvenue! Welcome!
Leave your troubles outside.
So life is disappointing, forget it!
In here life is beautiful.
The girls are beautiful.
Even the orchestra is beautiful.
[The Band plays]
And now presenting the cabaret girls!
Each and everyone a virgin —
You don’t believe me,
Well, do not take my word for it,
Go ahead, ask her!
Ha ha ha!
Outside it is Winter, but in here it is so hot!
Ev’ry night we have the battle to keep the girls from taking off
all their clothing, so don’t go away, who knows, tonight we may
lose the battle!
GIRLS:
Und sage.
Willkommen! Bienvenue! Welcome!
Im Cabaret,
Au Cabaret,
To Cabaret!
M.C.:
We are her to serve you!
