  1. Street Singer’s Farewell

(Kurt Weill, Bertolt Brecht, tr: Frank McGuinness)

Now we’ve come to this good ending
Happily all hands unite,
And with money in your pocket
You can clean up, price is right.

There are some who dwell in darkness,
There are others bathed in light.
You can see those who are shining —
Those in darkness pass from sight.

You can see those who are shining —
Those in darkness pass from sight.
