Noch einmal nun das schöne Lied und laß Nicht einen süßen Runde-Reim Verloren. Dir Lippen auf und nieder Läuft etwas, Das in und um den Bienenkorb Geboren. 's ist Honig, das du singst, und Allzu hold, Um noch einmal mir nicht zu sein Geschenket. Mich lüstet, weil ich trink, und Trinken wollt Ich mehr, je mehr ich trank und bin Getränket.

Once more now the lovely
Song and let
Not a single sweet round rhyme
Be lost.
Up and down your lips
Something runs
That was born in and around the
Beehive.
It is honey that you sing and
All too lovely,
Not once more to be given
To me.
I crave while I drink and
Would like to drink
More, the more I drink, and am
Replete with drink.
