by Sándor Petőfi (1823 - 1849)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Igyunk!
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Akinek nincs szeretője,
Bort igyék,
S hinni fogja, hogy minden lyány
Érte ég.

És igyék bort az, akinek
Pénze nincs,
S az övé lesz a világon
Minden kincs.

És igyék bort az, akinek
Búja van,
S a bú tőle nyakrafőre
Elrohan.

Sem szeretőm, sem pénzem, csak
Bánatom;
Másnál háromszorta többet
Ihatom.

Trinklied
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Hungarian (Magyar) 
Wer kein Liebchen hat, kein Püppchen,
trinke Wein!
Glauben wird er, alle Mädchen
seien sein!

Und es trinke, wem im Beutel
fehlt das Geld;
eigen wähnt er alle Schätze
dieser Welt!

Und es trinke, wer von Sorgen
toll und voll,
und von ihm gleich alles Leiden
weichen soll!

Habe weder Geld noch Liebchen,
hab' nur Pein!
Dreimal mehr als alle andern
trink' ich Wein!
