Abstract

Originally composed by Kurt Weill with lyrics in German by Bertolt Brecht, the English translation/adaptation of the lyrics by Marc Blitzstein has had a life of its own, most famously in Bobby Darin's interpretation (included here as a separate item). This entry links to the original Blitzstein English adoptation in the 1954 Broadway version of the Threepenny Opera. Click on the link above to access it.
