Denn wir sind alle and'rer Welten Kind

[sovay]

For Leap Day, rushthatspeaks made a point of asking me to marry him, to which the answer was—as always—always.

Please enjoy this now more than hundred-year-old queer anthem. I don't know how I can keep forgetting that Ute Lemper was Ceres in Prospero's Books (1991).

"Das Lila Lied"! Have you seen "Anders als die andern"? They go together in my mind! <3

Renewal of marriage promises every four years sounds like it could be a great tradition.

Thank you for the song!

My father was born in February 1922, so a song from 1921 seems almost within living memory. It's a good song for marching around the house (or out in the streets).

“wir lieben nur die lila Nacht, die schwül ist” — was going to ask if this is the origin of schwul/schwuler as the German equivalent of the term “gay,” but if Wiktionary is right about the term already having been in use in the 19th century, then the song was probably punning.
