Written by John Kander and Fred Ebb in the style of a traditional German
song, sung by the Nazi youth in 1972 musical ‘Cabaret’, to stir up patriotism for the «fatherland». It has often been mistaken for a genuine «Nazi anthem» and led to the songwriters being accused of anti-Semitism, which proves how brilliantly Bob Fosse depicted reality, and how grossly may masses mix facts & fiction.
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. 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» Oh Fatherland, Fatherland, Show us the sign Your children have waited to see. The morning will come When the world is mine. Tomorrow belongs … Tomorrow belongs … Tomorrow belongs to me!
