Willkommen

I've no knowledge of why Germans delight in parodying women, but it's common at Fasching.

But what I recall is, even as a youngster, was the delight, the exuberance, the Willkommen.

Lyrics

Willkommen! And bienvenue! Welcome!
Fremder, étranger, stranger
Glücklich zu sehen
Je suis enchanté

Happy to see you

Bleibe, reste, stay
Willkommen! And bienvenue! Welcome!

I'm 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 compère

I am your host!

Und sage
Willkommen! And bienvenue! Welcome!

I'm cabaret, au cabaret, to cabaret!
Leave your troubles outside
So life is disappointing, forget it!
In here life is beautiful
The girls are beautiful
Even the orchestra is beautiful

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 ha
Outside it is winter, but in here it is so hot!
Every 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!

Und sage
Willkommen! And bienvenue! Welcome!
I'm cabaret, au cabaret, to cabaret!
We are here to serve you!

Bleibe, reste, stay
Willkommen! And bienvenue! Welcome!
I'm cabaret, au cabaret
Wir sorgen!
Willkommen! And bienvenue! Welcome!
Fremder, etranger, stanger
Glücklich zu sehen
Je suis enchanté, enchanté, madame!

Happy to see you, happy to see you

Bleibe, reste, stay
Und sage

Willkommen! And bienvenue! Welcome!
Fremder, etranger, stanger
Glücklich zu sehen
Je suis enchanté

Happy to see you
Bleibe, reste, stay
Willkommen! And bienvenue! Welcome!
I'm cabaret
Au cabaret
To cabaret!
