Entschuldigung
Language: German (Deutsch)
Und sitz ich in der Schenke beim vollen Glase Wein:
so denk' ich dein in Ehren, lieb Weib, so hold und rein!
Und gibt sein tiefes Fühlen der ein' und andre kund,
so leer' ich dir zu Ehren das Glas bis auf den Grund.
Und schreit' ich auch als Zecher oft über Maß und Ziel,
so denk' ich, dir zu Ehren geschieht doch nie zu viel.

Apology
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
And when I sit in the tavern over a glass full of wine,
then I honour you, my beloved wife, so dear and pure!
And if one or the other expresses his deep feelings,
then I empty the glass to the bottom in honour of you.
And when I often go too far in a carousal,
then I think that I can never do too much in honour of you.
