Do you see there along the street
the humble, laughing hostelry
with leaves and jasmine up the walls,
do you see the flowery arbor?
That's my dwelling,
that's my love-nest!
And I spend my life there
drinking, loving, singing always singing.
Do you see there along the street
that laughing hostelry?
That's my dwelling, my love-nest!

Oh come! That's the place,
that's the home of gaiety!

Oh powerful drink
you enrapture me,
oh ray as bright
as a sun!
Oh powerful drink
you enrapture me,
oh ray as bright
as a sun!

You make my songs joyful,
you fill our hearts
with amorous, seductive ardor
thanks to your wonderful taste.

Oh come! That's the place,
that's the home of gaiety!

Do you want to spend your life in merriment?
Come with me into that hostelry!
It feels so good under the jasmine,
where stands the singer,
your improviser!

Come with me there along the street
to the humble hostelry
with leaves and jasmine up the walls,
do you see the flowery arbor?
That's my dwelling,
that's my love-nest!
And I spend my life there
drinking, loving, singing always singing.
Let's go there along the street
to the laughing hostelry!
That's my dwelling,
that's my love-nest!
Come, let's go together!
For you I want to improvise
(la, la la)
my most joyful songs!
Come, follow me!
