Essen, trinken, das erhält den Leib

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Essen, trinken, das erhält den Leib
's ist doch mein liebster Zeitverstreib,
das Essen und Trinken.
Labt mich Speis und Trank nicht mehr,
dann ade, dann Welt, gute Nacht!

So ein Brätchen, ein Pastetchen,
ach, wenn die meinem Gaumen winken,
dann, dann, dann ist mein Tag vollbracht.

Ach, und wenn im lieben Gläschen
Sorg und Gram darnieder sinken,
dann aller Welt dann gute Nacht!

Manger, boire, ce que mon corps obtient

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Manger, boire, ce que mon corps obtient
Est mon passe-temps préféré,
Le manger et le boire.
Si la nourriture et la boisson ne me rafraîchissent plus
Alors adieu, alors monde, bonne nuit !

Ainsi devant une saucisse, une galette,
Ah, si mes papilles s'agitent,
Alors, alors, alors ma journée est accomplie.

Ah, et si dans un petit verre
Le souci et le chagrin se noient
Alors bonne nuit à tout le monde !
