First heard this by Bette Midler in the 70s but Lenya owns it.

Amazing! I do not speak German but I feel I understand it all. I can tell when she has "righteous indignation" and when she has "sorrow", What a GREAT actress!!! And that Johnny bastid better WATCH OUT cuz I can tell don't MESS WITH HER LOL tee hee!!!

@mhender668 Neither her voice nor her german were pathetic. She was born in Austria and had a slight austrian accent. For german ears it's quite pleasant ... even charming ! But, each has his own taste.
-
@mhender668 you are
-
@mhender668 German is her native language... Albeit, I suppose, with an Austrian accent.
-
The only thing worse than her voice is her German. This is pathetic

This video shows why Lenya remains an icon, especially in the repetoire. Having now heard more legit singers doing the Weill songs (Teresa Stratas anyone), I would not want to only have this interpretation, however I sure as heck would not want to not have it.

I heard Lenya tell how she asked Brecht about his theories of Epic Theater.
"Brecht," she said, "I don't know what this is, this Epic Theater of yours. Please explain it to me."
"Lenya," Brecht said, "Anything you do when you are on stage, that is Epic theater."
