Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT ENG FRE
Wer nicht, wenn warm von Hand zu Hand
der Punsch im Kreise geht,
der Freude voll're Lust empfand,
der schleiche schnell hinweg.
Wir trinken alle hocherfreut,
so lang uns Punsch die Kumme1 beut.

Punchlied
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Wie niet, als warm van hand tot hand
De punch de kring rondgaat,
Door grote vreugd wordt overmand,
Die sluipe snel maar weg.
Wij drinken vrolijk allemaal,
Zolang er punch zit in de schaal.
