[FRAULEIN KOST (spoken)]
|
Herr Ludwig! You are not leaving so early?
|
|
[ERNST]
|
I do not find this party amusing.
|
|
[FRAULEIN KOST]
|
Ah- but it is just beginning. Come, we will make it
|
amusing- you and I- Ja?
|
|
Herr Ludwig- this is for you:
|
|
The sun on the meadow is summery warm.
|
The stag in the forest runs free.
|
But gather together to greet the storm.
|
Tomorrow belongs to me.
|
|
The branch of the linden is leafy and
|
Green,
|
The Rhine gives its gold to the sea.
|
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen.
|
Tomorrow belongs to me.
|
|
Herr Ludwig! Sing with me!
|
|
[FRAULEIN KOST AND ERNST]
|
The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes
|
The blossom embraces the bee.
|
But soon, says a whisper;
|
"Arise, arise,
|
Tomorrow belongs to me"
|
|
[FRAULEIN KOST]
|
Everybody!
|
|
[ALL (except FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER, SCHULTZ, CLIFF and SALLY, who stand watching)]
|
Oh Fatherland, Fatherland,
|
Show us the sign
|
Your children have waited to see.
|
The morning will come
|
When the world is mine.
|
Tomorrow belongs to me!
|

Tomorrow Belongs To Me
