Die Moritat Von Mackie Messer

(original)
Und der Haifisch, der hat Zähne
Und der trägt er im Gesicht
Und Macheath, der hat ein Messer
Doch das Messer sieht man nicht.
An 'nem schönen blauen Sonntag
Liegt ein toter Mann am Strand
Und ein Mensch geht um die Ecke
Den man Mackie Messer nennt.
Und Schmul Meier bleibt verschwunden
Wie so mancher reiche Mann
Und sein Geld hat Mackie Messer
Dem man nichts beweisen kann.
Jenny Towler ward gefunden
Mit 'nem Messer in der Brust
Und am Kai geht Mackie Messer
Der von allem nichts gewußt.
Und das große Feuer in Soho
Sieben Kinder und ein Greis
In der Menge Mackie Messer, den
Man nicht fragt und der nichts weiß.
Und die minderjährige Witwe
Derer Namen jeder weiß
Wachte auf und war geschändet
Mackie, welches war dein Presis?
Denn die einen sind im Dunkeln
Und die andern sind im Licht
Und man sieht die im Lichte
Die im Dunkeln sieht man nicht.
(translation)
And the shark has teeth
And he wears it on his face
And Macheath, he has a knife
But you can't see the knife.
On a beautiful blue Sunday
There's a dead man lying on the beach
And a person walks around the corner
The one they call Mackie Messer.
And Schmul Meier remains gone
Like many a rich man
And Mackie has knives for his money
That you can't prove anything.
Jenny Towler was found
With a knife in his chest
And on the wharf goes Mackie Messer
Who knew nothing about everything.
And the great fire in Soho
Seven children and one old man
In the crowd Mackie Messer den
One does not ask and who knows nothing.
And the minor widow
Whose names everyone knows
Woke up defiled
Mackie, what was your prize?
Because some are in the dark
And the others are in the light
And you can see them in the light
You can't see those in the dark.
