Guten Abend
Bon soir
Good evening

Und sage
Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome
Im Cabaret, au Cabaret, to Cabaret
[EMCEE, spoken]
Leave your troubles outside!
So—life is disappointing?
Forget it!
In here, life is beautiful
The girls are beautiful
Even the orchestra is beautiful
    
And now presenting the Cabaret girls
Each and every one a virgin
You don't believe me?
Well, do not take my word for it
Go ahead, ask her
Ha ha ha ha
Outside it is winter
But here it is so hot, every night we have to battle
To keep the girls from taking off all their clothing
So don't go away
Who knows?
Tonight we may lose the battle!
