Lieder der Zecher

Song Cycle by Konrad Seckinger (1935 - 2015)

1. Weinlied
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das Leben vergeht wie ein Blitzstrahl,
Dessen Glanz kaum so lange währt, daß man ihn sehen kann.
Wenn die Erde und der Himmel ewig unbeweglich stehen,
Wie rasch fliegt die wechselnde Zeit über das Anlitz der Menschen!
O du, der du beim vollen Becher sitzest und nicht trinkst,
O sage mir, auf wen wartest du noch?
