Дайте бокалы!
Дайте вина!
Радость - мгновенье.
Выпьём до дна!
Громкие песни
Гряньте, друзья!
Пусть нас весёлых
Видит заря!
Ныне пируем -
Юность, друзья -
Нынче веселье,
праздник у нас!
Завтра что будет,
знаю-ли я?
Пусть нас весёлых
Видит заря!
Шумно, разгульно
пейте, друзья!
Лейте в бокалы
Больше вина!
Ну-те ж все разом
Выпьём до дна!
Пусть нас весёлых
Видит заря!
