Hulanka
Language: Polish (Polski) 
Our translations:  FRE
Szynkareczko, szafareczko, bój się Boga, stój!
Tam się śmiejesz,
A tu lejesz miód na kaftan mój!

Nie daruję, wycałuję!
Jakie oczko, brew!
Nóżki małe, ząbki białe,
Hej! spali mnie krew!

Cóż tak bracie wciąż dumacie?
Bierz tam smutki czart!
Pełno nędzy
Ot, pij prędzej, świat ten diabła wart!

Piane nogi zbłądzą z drogi,
Cóż za wielki srom?
Krzykiem żony rozbudzony
Trafisz gdzie twój dom.

Pij, lub kijem się pobijem!
Biegnij dziewczę w czas,
By pogodzić, nie zaszkodzić,
Oblej miodem nas!

Bachanal
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Polish (Polski) 
Holla, heiter! 
trinke weiter bis in Ewigkeit!
Ha, du Lose, im Gekose 
giesst mir Wein auf's Kleid
Ha, du Lose, im Gekose
giesst mir Wein auf's Kleid

Fass ich Täubchen dich um's Leibchen,
wie die Augen sprüh'n !
Lippen müssen feurig küssen,
wenn die Wangen glühen,
Lippen müssen feurig küssen,
wenn die Wangen glühen,  

Willst du träumen ? Willst versäumen
was ein Gott bescheert?
unsre Erde voll Beschwerde
ist den Teufel wert,
unsre Erde voll Beschwerde
ist den Teufel wert,

Kannst nicht stehen kannst nicht gehen,
möchtest gern hinaus ?
Weiber fluchen, die dich suchen,
rufen dich nach Haus,
Weiber fluchen, die dich suchen,
rufen dich nach Haus.

Lass sie fluchen, lass sie suchen,
Liebchen, schenk mir ein !
Lass uns trinken bis wir sinken,
lass uns selig sein,
Lass uns trinken bis wir sinken,
lass uns selig sein.
