Stimme: Funkelnd im Becher So helle so hold, Blinket hochschäumend, Blinkt perlend das Gold Der süssen, der köstlichen Reben. Es glänzet auch uns wohl So freundlich, so hold, Hell wie der Reben Erquickendes Gold Das wogende herrliche Leben. Chor: Drum, freudiger Zecher, Erhebet die Becher, Es funkelt der Wein Wohl so [freundlich]1, so hold, Es funkelt das wogende Leben wie Gold! Trinket! Trinket!
1 Schubert's autograph: "schäumend"; the printed version has "freundlich" the first time, and "schäumend" in the repetition.

Étincelant dans le verre, Si brillant, si beau, Il scintille en pétillant haut. L'or scintille quand il perle, L'or de la grappe douce, précieuse. Il brille bien sur nous aussi Si amicalement, si beau, Clair comme la grappe L'or rafraîchissant De la vie bouillonnante et majestueuse. Donc, joyeux fêtards, Levez vos verres, Le vin étincelle, Bien si amicalement, si beau, Elle étincelle cette bouillonnante Vie comme de l'or ! Buvez ! Buvez !
