Thread Name: Anyone like Kurt Weill, Bert Brecht?
Subject: RE: Anyone like Kurt Weill, Bert Brecht?
Here is my free translation of the love song from the _Dreigroschenoper_:

No JP had signed a certificate.
No-one said blessings or broke a glass.
Your clothes were the same as on the day we met
And there was no rice in the grass.
Don't stare at your plate when the food is all gone --
Put it up to wash with the rest.
Our love will go on, or it won't go on,
If not in the east, the west.
