Trinklied
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Persian (Farsi)
Fort die Gedanken, Freunde! Auf zur Schenke, Wo in den Bechern blinkt der rote Wein. Seht, wie der Himmel in den Bechern funkelt! Laßt alles Tiefe und Gedachte sein! [Auf, auf!] Lernt endlich diese Welt erkennen, Des Lebens tiefste Weisheit liegt im Wein! Hebt ihr die vollen Becher an die Lippen, So dringt ihr wahrhaft in das Leben ein! Fort, fort mit allen gleißenden Gedanken! Tief ist der Rebensaft! Schenke, schenk ein!

Pieśń pijacka
Language: Polish (Polski) after the German (Deutsch)
Our translations: FRE
Precz mi z posępną myślą! Pójdźmy, druhy, Gdzie w czarach wino purpurowe lśni! Spójrzcie, jak w kielichu tysiąc gwiazd się iskrzy! Blask wina chłonie myśli mroczne głębie! Chcę życia tajnie wam objawić: najgłębsza mądrość wina boski czar! Niech pełnej czary dotkną wasze usta W wina słodyczy leży prawdy głąb! Precz! Precz mi z myśli obłudną rozkoszą! Życiem jest wina czar! Kielich mi daj!
