Wirth, hast du nicht ein volles Faß?
Das woll'n wir heut anstechen,
Hier unter den Bäumen auf grünem Gras
Das gibt ein lustig Zechen.
Der beste Trunk, den Einer kennt,
Der wird der gute Wein genennt
So hier, so da,
So dort, so allenthalben.
...
Geh' nicht vorüber, Mägdelein,
Du fehlst noch in der Runde,
Es fällt in's Herz wie Sonnenschein
Ein Gruß von rothem Munde;
Ach, jeden Kuß, verschämt und still,
Mit Küssen ich vergelten will
So hier, so da,
So dort, so allenthalben.
Ho! Flotter Spielmann, schnell herbei!
Sage, wohin die Pfade?
Hier lebt man so lustig, so fromm und frei,
Schau' an die Gottesgnade!
Rückt hin, Gesellen, seht! er winkt,
Er kommt, nun lacht und singt und trinkt
So hier, so da,
So dort, so allenthalben.

Innkeeper, do you not have a full barrel?
That barrel we shall tap today,
Here under the trees upon the green grass
There shall be a merry carousing.
The best drink known to man
Is called the good wine,
Thus here, thus there
Thus there, thus everywhere.
...
Do not walk past, maiden,
You are what is still missing in our midst,
A greeting from your red lips
Falls into the heart like sunshine;
Come, for every kiss, given shyly and quietly,
I shall recompense you with more kisses,
Thus here, thus there
Thus there, thus everywhere.
Ho! musician, musician, come quickly!
Whence, whither the paths?
Here one can live merrily, well and freely,
Look upon the grace of God!
Make room, comrades, see! the musician is waving,
He comes, now laugh and sing and drink,
Thus here, thus there
Thus there, thus everywhere.
