Trinklied

Erhebt das Glas mit froher Hand
und trinkt euch heitren Mut.
Wenn schon, den Freundschaft euch verband,
nun das Geschicke trennt,
so heitert dennoch euren Schmerz
und kränket nicht des Freundes Herz.

Nur trinkt, erhebt den Becher hoch,
ihr Bruder, hoch 
und singt nach treuer Freunde weisem Brauch 
und singt das frohe Lied.
Uns trennt das Schicksal, doch es bricht 
die Freundschaft treuer Herzen nicht.

Chanson à boire

Levez le verre d'une main heureuse
et buvez d'un esprit serein.
Si déjà l'amitié nous a réunis,
maintenant le destin nous sépare,
aussi cela soulage néanmoins votre douleur
et ne blesse pas le cœur de l'ami.

Maintenant buvez, levez haut votre verre,
frère, haut,
et chantez suivant la pratique sage des amis fidèles
et chantez le chant joyeusement.
Le destin nous sépare, mais il ne brise pas
l'amitié de cœurs fidèles.
