LYRICS:
A few months ago
I was strolling through
the streets of Berlin.
I strolled through the streets
and looked at the newspaper kiosks.
New publications,
magazines…

I discovered a–
a magazine called
“The Girlfriend.”
(“The Girlfriend.”)
I bought this paper
for twenty pfenning.

The content of this magazine is int’resting,
good literary works and rich poems.
In its sixth year, ev’ry Wednesday,
scientific articles, deals with the homosex’al challenge.

An advertisement,
advertisement section,
I found an ad.
It announced there–
there would be a GRAND TRANS-BALL!
…on the first Thursday of the month
in the house of the “Zauberflöte”
I decided to attend.

(Ah— Ah— Ah—)

A butch woman in a tuxedo met me when I entered the hall!
(In the house of “Zauberflöte”)
It was Lotte Hahm the director from the women’s club!
(Violetta! Violetta!)

Women in society gowns,
men in tailcoats and tuxedos.
Women in society gowns,
men in tailcoats and tuxedos.
Have to wear clothes of the other gender.
Have to wear clothes of the other gender.
Trans people are married.
Trans people have families.
Trans people have sex lives.
Trans people are married.
Trans people have families.
Trans people have sex lives.

In the upper hall 
of the Zauberflöte,
which bares the name “Florida,”
homosexual men 
hold their social ev’nings,
social ev’nings organized by 
the Society for Human Rights.

I was given a-
a magazine,
“Die Insel.”
(“Die Insel.”)
Equipped with pictures,
twenty pfenning…

While leafing through this magazine,
I noticed only literary works and good male nudes.
I asked why this magazine did not contain
any articles on the homosexual movement.

I was given another magazine
“Paper for Human Rights"
This magazine – factual, relatable – 
dealt with homosexuality.
It contains articles of struggle 
that oppose paragraph one-seventy-five 
of the Reich Criminal Code 
and demand its elimination.
The Paper for Human Rights 
can be described 
as a really enlightening political organ 
which primarily serves 
the liberation struggle 
of homosexuals.

A Grand Trans Ball…
A Grand Trans Ball…

Women in society gowns,
men in tailcoats and tuxedos.
Women in society gowns,
men in tailcoats and tuxedos.
Have to wear clothes of the other gender.
Have to wear clothes of the other gender.
Trans people are married.
Trans people have families.
Trans people have sex lives.
Trans people are married.
Trans people have families.
Trans people have sex lives.
