Trinklied
German source:
Eduard von Bauernfeld
Komm mit Augen hellen Scheins.
Uns’re Sorg’ ersäuf’ dein Fass,
Und dein Laub uns krönen lass.
Füll’ uns, bis die Welt sich dreht!
Füll’ uns, bis die Welt sich dreht!
Unser Sang erschalle hoch!
Wein mit Sang schmeckt besser noch.
So entfliehet froh die Zeit,
Wem's nicht mundet, fliehe weit,
Hoch der edle Göttertrank!
Drinking song
English translation ©
Richard Wigmore
come with brightly shining eyes.
Let your vat drown our cares,
and your leaves crown us.
Fill us till the world spins round!
Fill us till the world spins round!
Let our song ring out loudly!
Wine with song tastes even better.
Time then passes merrily;
He who does not savour the wine should flee far from here;
Hail to the noble drink of the gods!
