Alabama Song - Kurt Weill
1927 - Mahagonny (Songspiel). Written by Bertolt Brecht.
Oh, show us the way to the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
Show us the way to the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find the next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die, I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must die
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our dear old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you know why
Oh, show us the way to the next pretty boy
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
Show us the way to the next pretty boy
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find the next pretty boy
I tell you we must die, I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must die

Ute Lemper in Paris- Youkali-tango (Weill)
Ute Lemper sings my favorite Kurt Weill song, "Youkali" (tango/habanera), about man's yearning for a utopian paradise of his most profound dreams and desires, ending in inevitable disillusionment.
Lemper's voice has been called an acquired taste, but it's one well worth acquiring. She certainly doesn't have the polish or refinement of some classically-trained divas who have recorded Weill (i.e. Stratas, von Otter, Farley, Reaux). Lemper easily eclipses them, however, when it comes to phrasing, mood painting, and diction. She gets the FEELING just right, and that makes her two Weill albums on Decca (as well as her recording of The Threepenny Opera) essential listening for any Weill enthusiast.
Lyrics and translation for "Youkali" can be found at the following link:
