Solo
 Freunde, sammelt euch im Kreise,
 Freut euch nach der Väter Weise,
 Stimmt in lautem Jubel ein.
 Freundschaft reicht den Wonnebecher
 Zum Genuß dem frohen Zecher,
 Perlend blinkt der gold'ne Wein.

Chorus
 Schließt in dieser Feierstunde
 Hand in Hand zum trauten Bunde,
 Freunde, stimmet fröhlich ein,
 Laßt uns alle Brüder sein!

Solo
 Freunde, seht die Gläser blinken,
 Knaben mögen Wasser trinken,
 Männer trinken edlen Wein.
 Wie der gold'ne Saft der Reben
 Sei auch immer unser Leben,
 Stark und kräftig, mild und rein.

Chorus
 Unsern Freundesbund zu ehren
 Lasset uns die Gläser leeren!
 Stark und kräftig, mild und rein
 Sei das Leben, sei der Wein!
