Wirth, hast du nicht ein volles Faß?
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Wirth, hast du nicht ein volles Faß? Das wollen wir heut anstechen, Hier unter Bäumen auf grünem Gras Giebt das ein lustig Zechen. Der beste Trank, den Einer kennt, Der wird der gute Wein genennt So hier, so da, So dort, so allenthalben. Wo hab' ich denn den Durst nur her? Er steckt mir in der Kehle, Und wenn das Trinken Sünde wär', Bei meiner armen Seele! Auf Erden ließ' ich's nimmer doch Und tränk' auch in der Hölle noch, So hier, so da, So dort, so allenthalben. Komm, Pfäfflein, komm, du Reitersmann, Du Waidmann und du Ferge, Ihr Wegemüden, haltet an! Hier rinnt ein Quell vom Berge; Sitzt nieder auf dem grünen Plan, Ersäuft den Wurm im hohlen Zahn 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; Komm, jeden Kuß, verschämt und still, Mit Küssen ich dir vergelten will So hier, so da, So dort, so allenthalben. Ho! Spielmann, Spielmann, schnell herbei! Woher, wohin die Pfade? Hier lebt sich's lustig, 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...
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
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. Where did I acquire this thirst? It sticks in my throat, And if drinking were a sin, By my poor soul! Upon earth I should nonetheless never leave off drinking And would drink even in hell still, Thus here, thus there Thus there, thus everywhere. Come, little priest, come, you rider, You huntsman and you ferryman, You weary travellers, stop! A spring runs down from the mountain here; Sit down upon the green plain, Drown the worm living in your hollow tooth,1 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.
