Translation courtesy of Supertitlist Tom Getty:
We must love, or I shall die
Before the curtain falls.

Husband: Dear Therese, you must no longer be
as flat as a pancake.

Therese: Bah, don't complicate things. Fly away!

Chorus: We must love.

All: And then sing night and day.

Scratch if it itches. Love white or black, The change is amusing.
It's enough just to notice it.

Listen, people, to the lessons of the war Go make babies, you who have hardly made any.
