Solo Freunde, sammelt euch im Kreise, Freut euch nach der Väter Weise, Stimmt in lautem Jubel ein. Freundschaft reicht den Wonnebecher Zum Genuß dem frohen Zecher, Perlend blinkt der gold'ne Wein. Chorus Schließt in dieser Feierstunde Hand in Hand zum trauten Bunde, Freunde, stimmet fröhlich ein, Laßt uns alle Brüder sein! Solo Freunde, seht die Gläser blinken, Knaben mögen Wasser trinken, Männer trinken edlen Wein. Wie der gold'ne Saft der Reben Sei auch immer unser Leben, Stark und kräftig, mild und rein. Chorus Unsern Freundesbund zu ehren Lasset uns die Gläser leeren! Stark und kräftig, mild und rein Sei das Leben, sei der Wein!

Solo Vrienden, kom bijeengetreden, Vrolijk als uw vaders deden, Zing luid mee bij ons refrein. Vriendschap reikt de volle beker, Smaken zal het vast en zeker, Paar'lend blinkt de gouden wijn. Koor Sta als vrienden in het ronde, Hand in hand nu vast verbonden, Vrienden, deel ons blij refrein, Laat ons allen broeders zijn! Solo Vrienden, zie de glazen blinken, Jongens mogen water drinken, Mannen drinken eed'le wijn. Als het sap dat druiven geven Moge zijn ons aller leven, Sterk en krachtig, mild en rein. Koor Onze vriendschapsband ten zegen, Laten wij de glazen legen! Sterk en krachtig, mild en rein Zij het leven, zij de wijn!
