by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Jetzt schweigen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Jetzt schweigen 
Die Geigen, 
Und Alles ist stumm.
Ich trachte,
Ich schmachte,
Ich blicke mich um.

Die Kanne,
Susanne,
Die fülle mit Wein! 
Frisch munter 
Hinunter,
Zum Keller hinein! 

Steig nieder, 
Komm wieder,
Credenze mir zu! 
Der Wein beut 
Allein heut 
Der Wein nur mir Ruh.
