Das Glas gefüllt! Der Nordwind brüllt, Die Sonn' ist niedergesunken! Der kalte Bär Blinkt Frost daher! Getrunken, Brüder, getrunken! Die Tannen glühn Hell im Kamien, [Und knatternd fliegen]1 die Funken! Der edle Rhein Gab uns den Wein! Getrunken, Brüder, getrunken! Der edle Most Verscheucht den Frost, Und zaubert Frühling hernieder; Der Trinker sieht Den Hain entblüht, Und Büsche wirbeln ihm Lieder! Er hört Gesang Und Harfenklang, Und [schwebt]2 durch blühende Lauben; Ein Mädchenchor Rauscht schnell hervor, Und bringt ihm goldene Trauben! Saus' immerfort, O Winternord, Im schneebelasteten Haine! Nur streu dein Eis, O lieber Greis, In keine Flaschen mit Weine! [Der stolzen]3 Frau Färb braun und blau [Den Kamm, der adlich ihr schwillet]4! Nur musst du fliehn Den Hermelin, Der junge Busen verhüllet!

Que s’omplin les copes! Bramula el vent del nord, el sol s’ha amagat! La freda Óssa boreal indica que ve la glaçada! Bevem, germans, bevem! la llenya d’avet brilla lluminosa a la llar de foc, i espetegant volen les espurnes! El noble Rin ens ha donat aquest vi! Bevem, germans, bevem! El noble most fa fugir el gel, i encisa la primavera vers nosaltres; el bevedor veu florir el boscatge, i els matolls li arrombollen cançons! Ell sent els cants i el so de les arpes, i sura a través de florits fullatges; un cor de donzelles s’apressa endavant i li porta raïms daurats! Xiula sense parar, oh vent del nord, al bosc carregat de neu! No escampis el teu gel, oh estimat ancià, damunt cap ampolla amb vi! A la dona arrogant li acoloreix bruna i blava la pinta que l’orna amb noblesa! Només has d’evitar la pell d’ermini que cobreix la teva jove pitrera!
