Youkali Tango - Ute Lemper - For Kerry

I started with a disordered life. I finished as a Mensch.

Wednesday Weekly Weill - Marie Galante

I wish I could have seen this, Youkali:


Youkali,
It is the land of our desires,
Youkali,
It is happiness,
It is pleasure-

But it is a dream, a folly.
There is no Youkali.

And life goes on, weariness everyday.
But the poor human soul
Looks everywhere to forget it,
To leave the earth,
To find the mystery.
We dream on earth
To live on some Youkali...
