Der Zecher als Doctrinär
 (Sung text for setting by R. Schumann)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE POR
-- Vin a tout prix --

Was quälte dir dein banges Herz?
           "Liebesschmerz!"
Was machte dir dein Auge roth?
           "Liebesnoth!"
Was gab dir Sorgen ohne Zahl?
           "Liebesqual!"

           Ei, das hast du schlimm bedacht;
           Denn schon manchesmal
           Hat gar grausam umgebracht
           Liebesschmerz und Qual!

Was heilte dich von deiner Pein?
           "Alter Wein!"
Was gab dir dann den besten Trost?
           "Frischer Most!"
Was stärkte wieder deinen Muth?
           "Traubenblut!"

Ei, so bringt uns schnell herbei
Dieses edle Gut!
Denn nun bleibt es doch dabei:
Wein erfrischt das Blut!
