Wenn die Schicht verfahren ist, Sitzt sich's gut beim Wein, D'rum, ihr Freunde schenkt zur Frist, Nur fein fleißig ein. Lasset in der Teufe Nacht Alle Sorg' und Plag', Nur was froh und heiter macht, Komm' mit euch zu Tag. Wenn die Schicht verfahren ist, Braucht es neue Kraft, Und der Rebe Nektar fließt Auch der Knappenschaft. Rundgesang und Becherklang, Ei, wie reimt das gut, Sie nur bringen recht in Gang Frohen Bergmannsmuth. Nur mit dem Trifolium Sitzt sich's gut beim Wein, Jeder von euch stimme d'rum Laut und fröhlich ein. Ist's doch jeder Wackre werth, Der da fährt zu Grund, Daß ein Glas ihm sei verehrt Von der Brüder Rund. Klug nur ist: wer jetzt vergißt Fäustel und Gestein, Wenn die Schicht verfahren ist, Sitzt sich's gut beim Wein!

When the shift is over, It is nice to sit over some wine, Thus, my friends, at this time Top up the glasses assiduously. Leave all your cares and vexations Below in the depth’s night, May only that which makes one happy and merry Come up with you into daylight. When the shift is over, New strength is needed, And the nectar of the vine flows For the miner’s guild as well. A round and the clinking of beakers, Ah, that goes well together, Only they truly call forth Joyful miners’ courage. Only with this set of three Does one sit nicely over some wine, Everyone therefore join in Loudly and gladly. For every courageous man Who descends into the mines Deserves to have a glass Raised to him by his brethren. Only he is wise who now forgets Sledgehammer and rocks. When the shift is over, It is nice to sit over some wine.
