by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)

O schafft mir Wein
 (Sung text for setting by C. Kreutzer)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Was ist das für ein durstig Jahr!
Die Kehle lechzt mir immerdar,
Die Leber dorrt mir ein.
Ich bin ein Fisch auf trocknem Sand,
Ich bin ein dürres Ackerland,
O schafft mir, schafft mir Wein!

Was weht doch jetzt für trockne Luft!
Kein Regen hilft, kein Tau, kein Duft,
Kein Trunk will mir gedeihn.
Ich trink' im allertiefsten Zug,
Und dennoch wird's mir nie genug,
Fällt wie auf heißen Stein.

 ... 

Und wenn es euch wie mir ergeht,
So betet, daß der Wein gerät,
Ihr Trinker insgemein!
O heil'ger Urban, schaff uns Trost,
Gib heuer uns viel edlen Most,
Daß wir dich benedein !
