by Karl Friedrich Henckell (1864 - 1929)

Trinklied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Die Rechte hebt den Maienwein
Narzisse in der Linken!
Ich will ein frommer Zecher sein
Und gottesfürchtig trinken.

Wie schön leucht't mir der Morgenstern
Der lieblichen Narzisse!
Ich flehe opferfroh zum Herrn
Und Liebchens Erstlingsküsse.

Für solcher Trank ich solchen Lohn
Zu fordern mich erdreiste --
Lob sei dem Vater und dem Sohn
Sowie dem heil'gen Geiste!
