Текст песни Cabaret - So What? - Lotte Lenya

You say fifty marks, I say one hundred marks.
A difference of fifty Marks
Why should that stand in our way?
As long as the room's to let
The fifty that I will get
Is fifty more than I had yesterday, aha!
When you're as old as I-
Is anyone old as I?
What difference does it make?
An offer comes, you take!
For the sun will rise and the moon will set,
And you'll learn how to settle for what you get,
It'll all go on if we're here or not,
So, who cares, so what?
So, who cares, so what?
When I was a girl my summers were spent by the sea, so what?
And I had a maid doing all the house work, not me, so what?
Now I scrub up the floors, and I wash down the walls,
And I empty that chamber pot.
If it ended that way, then it ended that way,
And I shrug and I say, so what?
For the sun will rise and the moon will set
And you'll learn how to settle for what you get,
It'll all go on if we're here or not,
So, who cares, so what?
So, who cares, so what?
When I had a man, my figure was stampede and fat, so what?
Through all of our years we were so disappointed than that, so what?
Now I have what he missed then my figure is trim,
But he lies in a churchyard lot.
If it wasn't to be that he ever would see
The abundance of me, so what?
For the sun will rise and the moon will set
And you'll learn how to settle for what you get,
It'll all go on if we're here or not,
So, who cares, so what?
So, who cares, so what?
So, once I was rich,
And now all my fortune is gone, so what?
And love disappeared,
And only the memory lives on, so what?
If I've lived through all that,
And I've lived through all that,
Fifty Marks doesn't mean a lot!
If I liked that you're here,
And I like that you're here
Happy New Year, my dear, so what!
For the sun will rise and the moon will set
And you'll learn how to settle for what you get,
It'll all go on if we're here or not,
So, who cares, so what?
So, who cares, so what?
It all goes on,
So, who cares?
Who cares?
So what?
