Tempora mutantur
 (Sung text for setting by H. Schnaubelt)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Viel volle Becher klangen,
Viel helle Stimmen sangen
Vor uns in diesem Raum.
Doch Sang und Klang verhallten,
Verweht sind die Gestalten,
Und Alles war ein Traum.

Noch klingen Lied und Becher,
Doch sitzen and're Zecher,
Wir selbst, in diesem Raum
Und lassen's uns behagen
Nach gut und schlimmen Tagen,
Doch alles ist ein Traum.

Nicht lang', so füllen wieder
Bei Becherklang und Lieder
andere diesen Raum
Und treiben, was wir trieben,
Und singen, trinken, lieben,
Bis Alles wird ein Traum.
